TRIPOLI (Reuters) - Life might look normal in most of the Libyan capital Tripoli - but with artillery blasts audible in much of the city as eastern LNA forces attack its southern fringe, there is tension everywhere.

"We have heard gunfire since morning in here," said a waiter in a cafe about 10 minutes' drive from the front line, his voice almost a whisper, as he served customers while military vehicles rushed by. "If the fighting gets any closer, I'll run away."
