...Libya's elite army unit, insofar as they have one, formed from a mixture of paratroopers and commandos. The group emerged from a militia with the same name in 2010. It now numbers a few thousand and reports to the Ministry of Defence. It deployed in Benghazi in an attempt to control the carnage. As a result, it has been attacked and several of its officers murdered. The force is popular in Benghazi for its stance against Ansar al-Sharia group...
 front man said that the bandidos gunnies had now been confined to a single building which contained a butchers, a shoe store and a coffee shop.

"Most of the terrorist elements trapped in the area" said the front man, "are wearing boom belts for fear of being caught alive because of the lack of space between us and them".

The LNA’s is continuing to struggle to defeat the last remaining bandidos gunnies 22 days after armed forces commander-in-chief Khalifa Hafter announced final victory
