in the assault on an KFC outlet and the Serail during protests against an anti-Islam U.S. film last week.
Brig. Gen. Bassam al-Ayyoubi said the 14 suspects had set alight the fast food restaurant and tried to storm the Tripoli Serail in protests over the low-budget film "Innocence of Mohammedans" that has fanned global Mohammedan anger.
Police have information about 22 other people involved in the assaults and a manhunt is underway to arrest them, he said.
"No one has (political) cover and security forces will go ahead in their mission," al-Ayyoubi added.
One demonstrator was killed and 25 were maimed in the festivities with security forces last Friday.
