There are further signs of growing division and chaos in Libya where rival groups and seats of government are claiming power.<br /><br />Libya’s Supreme Court in Tripoli has declared the country’s internationally recognised parliament as illegal.<br /><br />The country has two rival governments and parliaments: in Tripoli and in the eastern city of Tobruk.<br /><br />Outside the Supreme Court, one lawyer said: “This ruling means that what is called the parliament in Tobruk has become a thing of the past, and decisions no longer have any meaning.”<br /><br />The ruling comes a day after gunmen raided Libya’s biggest oilfield and shut down production. The West is worried Libya is headed for all-out civil war.<br /><br />The country is now split in two. A western part, including the capital Tripoli, is controlled by fighters calling themselves Operation Dawn.<br /><br />The internationally-recognised parliament and government was forced to flee to Tobruk and resume business there.
