Five Libyans were killed and scores wounded in clashes on Wednesday when ex-rebels linked to the army attacked Bani Walid, a former bastion of dictator Moamer Kadhafi, local sources said.
Libyan men inspect a destroyed building in Bani Walid on October 11.
"Clashes today left four dead and 19 wounded in the ranks of Libya Shield," said a commander of the brigade which operates under the banner of the army.
A local official in Bani Walid, Massud al-Waer, told AFP the oasis town "was shelled from three fronts today and that one resident was killed."
The attack comes exactly one year after former rebels declared the liberation of Bani Walid, which remained loyal to the long-time leader throughout the 2011 conflict that led to his ouster and death.
