Witnesses said there was no sign of police or military and the town was controlled by "popular committees" armed with automatic weapons.
Anti-government militias are in control of the Libyan town of Zuara, about 120 km (75 miles) west of the capital, Egyptian workers who crossed into neighbouring Tunisia told Reuters on Thursday.
The workers, who said they were based on a construction site in Zuara until they fled the country, said there was no sign of police or military and the town was controlled by "popular committees" armed with automatic weapons.
