After a number of Security Breaches. Benghazi Authorities Issue New Orders

[LIBYAREVIEW] On Saturday, the Benghazi Joint Security Room issued new orders regarding the movement of vehicles and controlling the security situation in the city.
The Benghazi Joint Security Room was formed by the Commander-in-Chief of the Libyan National Army (LNA), Field Marshal 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. Actually, he is, but slowly...
The new orders and instructions of the Security Room, according to an official statement, were published by the Military Information Division. They were published as follows:

All vehicles, whether civilian or military, are required to install metal plates and remove blackout windows.

A month from now, the violating vehicles will be confiscated.

Store owners are obliged to install surveillance cameras, and the violating stores will be closed.

An office was opened to receive citizens’ complaints.

Anyone attempting to destabilize security inside the city will be arrested.

The arrests will be made by the military prosecution only.
