Imported camels evacuated from Libya's capital after port comes under fire

Three thousand camels imported from Australia have been walked out of Libya's capital Tripoli in an overnight evacuation after the port where they arrived came under artillery fire. The camels left Tripoli's port shortly after midnight on Wednesday, and were herded along a highway leading west to the city of Zawiya, some 45 km (30 miles) away, where they arrived on Thursday morning, according to a local merchant.
