The Prime Minister issued orders to form a fact-finding committee that would present its findings in a week, so that necessary decisions can be made in this regard, Xinhua news agency reported.
Clashes between two government security forces erupted on the night of September 2 near a military camp in southern Tripoli, with unknown casualties.
