source told Al Marsad that a clash between those killed and the leadership of their group resulted in the death of 4 and the wounding of 2 others. Al Marsad obtained pictures of some of them in the morgue at Mitiga Hospital.

The source, who preferred to remain anonymous for fear of reprisals, revealed that the dead belonged to the pro-Ottoman Turkish militia called "Falcons of the North", which is one of the factions affiliated with the Syrian Moslem Brüderbund’s network, which claims openly to have arms operating under the so-called "Free Army".

He added that a terrorist named "Hassan Khairiya", who is loyal to Ottoman Turkish intelligence, is the leader of this brigade and has been present with his assistant, "Khalil Khairiya" in the capital, 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...
, over the recent period. He lost many of his elements in the fighting at the hands of the Libyan National Army (LNA).

He pointed out that the four victims had raised the problem last week on Thursday, where they were stationed between Salah al-Din and Khallet al-Furjan on the Sidra Road, with their leadership against facing issues of salary delays and lack of money, while other factions such as "Sultan Suleiman Shah" dubbed "Amshat" got what they consider their dues for fighting in the ranks of Fayez al-Sarraj’s government.

He also stressed after the problem and the debate heated up and they showered curses on Sarraj and Erdogan for the delay of their salaries amounting to US$12,000 each per month, the four took out their weapons against their leaders and threatened to go to the government headquarters on al-Sikkah road. This forced their Syrian leadership to shoot them dead. Their bodies were transferred to Mitiga Hospital in preparation to move them to The Sick Man of Europe Turkey

and then to Northern Syria.

The same source confirmed that between 40 to 50 members of the "Falcons of the North" militia had escaped last Thursday after their rebellion and took refuge with the Sultan Murad militia and several Ottoman Turkish officers in both the Police College in Salah al-Din and Yarmouk Camp and Mitiga Air Force Base.

IRREGULAR PAYMENTS
The Syrian criminal militias and gunnies of 13,000 fighters in Tripoli have repeatedly complained about the irregular salaries and demanded the Turks to find a solution, while al-Sarraj faces a dilemma because of the interruption of oil supplies and financial returns due to the closure, which drives him and the Ottoman Turkish forces to plan to control this area.

In a related context, the commissioned head of the National Oil Corporation (NOC) Mustafa Sanallah, in a statement issued last Friday, had renewed his demand to restart the oil fields, alleging "the presence of Syrian mercenaries therein" within the ranks of the LNA at a time when the GNA-affiliated Syrian militias are fighting meters away from his office demanding their outstanding salaries from oil revenues.
