[QUOTE]Days of deadly tribal clashes have erupted in southern Libya after a pet monkey attacked a high school girl.

Abdel-Rahman Areish, the head of Sabha city hospital, told The Associated Press news agency on Sunday 20 people have been killed and 50 wounded. Reuters said at least 16 people died in four days of fighting.

According to residents and local reports, the latest bout of violence erupted after a monkey that belonged to a shopkeeper from the Gaddadfa tribe attacked a group of schoolgirls passing by.

The monkey pulled off a girl's headscarf and reportedly bit and scratched her, leading men from the Awlad Suleiman tribe to retaliate by killing three Gaddadfa people - as well as the monkey.[/QUOTE]
