Libya's presidential council says it has suspended Foreign Minister Najla El-Mangoush for 14 days and banned her from travelling, pending an inquiry.
It accused her of not co-ordinating on foreign policy, but the transitional government rejected the decision, saying she would carry on as normal.
The political infighting follows comments she made in a BBC interview about the Lockerbie bombing in 1988.
Libya admitted responsibility for the bombing in 2003.

..."The country has two competing parliaments and is deeply divided between East and West. With the elections approaching, the internal competition is on the increase.
The Libyan government said the presidential council had no legal authority to suspend or investigate a minister, and the foreign minister would continue her work.
She is currently out of the country and is expected to attend the Paris conference.
It's likely that the international community will want this row to be defused quickly, to keep the focus on holding elections - tricky as that may be - and on the future of Libya."
