Rada continues raids on Tripoli’s criminal dens
[Libya Herald] The Rada (Special Deterrence) Force continued its raids on criminal dens in the ’’Gragsha’’ area of the Girgarish 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... yesterday. Rada has been conducting a series of campaigns in the area against alcohol, drugs and prostitution dens. It has also been conducting operations against kidnap gangs. It said that the area has been ’’out of control’’ in terms of security for ’’many years’’ where many African ’’gangs’’ had set up dens of illicit trade. Rada also reported that it had received ’’repeated complaints’’ from residents who had admitted defeat in protecting their children and homes from the danger of these gangs. It reported the arrest of large numbers of African gangs made up of illegal Most of the Illegal Please don't kill me! were handed over to the Counter-illegal Migration Authority, but those believed to be part of illicit trade gangs were held under arrest, reported Rada. It will be recalled that Rada has received direct official backing from the Faiez Serraj Presidency Council/Government of National Accord but has also been involved in various territorial battles with other militias/security agencies and so-called Islamist militias with a different Islamic interpretation ‐ in a battle of dominance within Tripoli. Rada is also fighting snuffies such as Ansar Sharia/ISIS and the Benghazi Defence Brigades (BDB), including holding some of these groups’ prisoners, which has created it enmities, including that of the Mufti Saddek Ghariani.
