At least four Libyan rebel fighters have perished in Tripoli in an explosion that went off as locals were celebrating Eid-al-Fitr.

It remains unclear what caused the blast even though some residents said it was a car bomb and the blast was carried out by Gaddafi loyalists, as cited by Al Jazeera.

At the same time, according to a group of rebels, a car full of fuel was hit by celebratory gun fire as locals were rejoicing about their first Eid-al-Fitr after 42 years of rule by dictator Muammar Gaddafi.

Another reports says that children had picked up grenades left on the road after the recent fighting, and that they were killed in the grenade explosions.

As the civil war in Libya between the rebels and the elusive dictator continues, Tripoli is reported to be returning to normal social life even if the city does not feel completely secure.
