Libya Arrests 20 After Attack On Southern Police Compound
[Jpost] Libyan authorities have tossed in the slammerYez got nuttin' on me, coppers! Nuttin'! 20 people after an attack on a police vehicle compound in the desert south in which one person was killed, the army chief said on Saturday. The attack on the compound took place on Thursday in the southern town of Sabha, some 800 km (500 miles) south of 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... "They arrived by car, armed with guns and starting shooting. They stole some cars and escaped," Yusef al-Mangoush, army chief of staff, told Rooters. "One person died from injuries sustained in the attack. Those arrested have been transferred to Tripoli. We cannot say who they are yet as the investigation is still ongoing," he said, adding the stolen cars had been retrieved. Posted by: trailing wife 2013-04-14 |
