| [Libya Observer] The front man for the Special Deterrence Force (SDF), Ahmed Bin Salem, confirmed that the SDF intervened to resolve an armed conflict that took place between Bab Tajoura Brigade and a group of men from Ras Hassan district of Tripoli ...a confusing city, one end of which is located in Lebanon and the other end of which is the capital of Libya. Its chief distinction is being mentioned in the Marine Hymn... Bin Salem stated in a press statement on Thursday that two residents from Ras Hassan were killed during the conflict. A number of young men from Ras Hassan took part in a protest demanding that Bab Tajoura Brigade of the Presidential Council leave their location in the district as they have become the cause of many problems, especially the one that took place on Thursday, resulting in the killing of the two young men. Local sources said the two non-combatants were killed during a shootout between the brigade and gunnies; one of them is wanted for the brigade. The protesters closed a number of roads before the situation was brought under control by the Special Deterrence Force. |
