Gunmen Surround Libyan Justice Ministry

Gunmen in Libya surrounded the justice ministry, on Tuesday.

They asked the employees and minister to leave, and peacefully let them do so.

On Sunday, they surrounded the foreign ministry and are still maintaining their presence there.

Roads to the buildings have been blocked with trucks carrying anti aircraft guns.

The gunmen are demanding that the government block all officials who served under Qaddafi be blocked from working in the new government.

Once their demands are met, they say they will peaceably leave.

The government had promised to remove all Qaddafi era officials, in March, but did not fulfill the promise.
