Libyan Army captures eight fighters from Haftar's forces in southern Tripoli
|
[Libya Observer] The front man for the Libyan Army Mohammed Gununu said Sunday that the Volcano of Rage Operation forces under the command of the Presidential Council's government captured eight fighters from Khalifa Haftar
...Self-proclaimed Field Marshal, served in the Libyan army under Muammar Qadaffy, and took part in the coup that brought Qadaffy to power in 1969. He became a prisoner of war in Chad in 1987. While held prisoner, he and his fellow officers formed a group hoping to overthrow Qadaffy, so it's kind of hard to describe him as a Qadaffy holdover. He was released around 1990 in a deal with the United States government and spent nearly two decades in the United States, gaining US citizenship. In 1993, while living in the United States, he was convicted in absentia of crimes against the Jamahiriya and sentenced to death. Haftar held a senior position in the anti-Qadaffy forces in the 2011 Libyan Civil War. In 2014 he was commander of the Libyan Army when the General National Congress (GNC) refused to give up power in accordance with its term of office. Haftar launched a campaign against the GNC and its Islamic fundamentalist allies. His campaign allowed elections to take place to replace the GNC, but then developed into a civil war. Guess you can't win them all...

The Libyan Army forces launched Sunday an attack on Haftar's forces on al-Tawaisha frontline in southern Tripoli in order to regain positions lost two weeks ago due to shortages of ammunition and supplies.
The Libyan Army forces started the attack after the reinforcement arrived, thus they seized areas in al-Tawaisha and al-Tughar around al-Sabea frontline, according to a source from Volcano of Rage Operation.
