The BBC's Rana Jawad in Tripoli says the latest fighting is seen as one of the most serious and direct confrontations5 between official forces and this militia.
Ten days ago, Prime Minister Ali Zeidan called on all militias to leave the capital, Tripoli, after fatal clashes between militiamen and protesters.
The militias took part in the uprising that led to the fall of Col Muammar Gaddafi in 2011 but have been told by the interim6 government to disband or join the army by the end of the year.
Reports from Libya's second city early on Monday spoke7 of explosions and gunfire in the Ras Obeida area.
The fighting erupted after a civilian8 was stopped at a checkpoint manned by Ansar al-Sharia because he was carrying a weapon, a military source told the BBC. The man was allegedly beaten, prompting a special forces unit to move in.
Acting9 Interior Minister Sidiq Abdel-Karim told Libyan TV that nine people had been killed and another 49 wounded in the clashes.
