U.N. Raises New Concerns about Libya Arms, Secret Detainees
2013-03-15
[An Nahar] The U.N. Security Council raised new concerns Thursday about arms flowing from Libya into neighboring countries and thousands of detainees held in secret by militias.

A resolution renewing the mandate of the U.N. mission in Libya highlighted "the illicit proliferation of all arms and related material of all types" since the fall of Libya's longtime dictator Muammar Qadaffy.

The 15-nation body said heavy and small weapons and surface-to-air missiles were involved and stressed the "negative impact on regional and international peace and security."

"There are suggestions that weapons are going out through the southern borders of Libya to countries in the region," Britannia's U.N. ambassador Mark Lyall Grant said.

"We know that in the immediate aftermath of the overthrow of Qadaffy, quite a number of weapons flowed into Mali and Niger," the envoy told news hounds, while adding that the council had no firm information on where the arms are ending up now.
