Tripoli, March 30: The urge to set up road checkpoints appears to have gone deep into the Libyan psyche.

It is reported that a group of Libyan fighters being treated in Amman for injuries set up a checkpoint in the Jordanian capital today. The event was, apparently, intended as a joke.

The bemused police did not arrest the men who were persuaded to give up their antics.  They were said to be drunk at the time.
