Gaddafi鈥檚 mercenaries are using ambulances to ambush and gun down civilians, British surveyors still trapped in Tripoli have told 黑洞社区.

The UK firm, which we are not naming for security reasons, still has a number of British workers in the Libyan capital which it is currently evacuating.

The head of the office there said that mercenaries had begun to shoot people in public 鈥渃ompletely indiscriminately鈥�.

Libyan staff members had seen 鈥渁mbulances full of mercenaries getting out and shooting everyone鈥� as part of ambushes against civilians.

鈥淥ur local staff are traumatised,鈥� he said.

He said the fighting flared up during the night and calmed down during the day, and it had been intensifying over the past few days with more protests expected at around 4pm today.

鈥淚t鈥檚 not good 鈥� we鈥檙e caught between two areas, with guns and grenades going off all over the place.鈥�

He said however that he had not heard or seen aircraft or helicopters bombing protesters, as has been widely reported.

All construction work in the capital has stopped, he said, with employers all trying to get their staff out of the country.

Earlier today Capita Symonds said that an airport in Benghazi, in the east of the country, which it was rebuilding had been hit by bombs, destroying its runway.
