Libya New Leaders Order Heavy Arms Out of Tripoli
2011-10-06
[An Nahar] Libya's new leaders on Wednesday ordered all heavy weapons to be removed from Tripoli, warning their prolonged presence risked giving a bad image of the revolution which ousted Moammar Qadaffy
...a reminder that a single man with an idea can screw up an entire nation...
"We call for heavy weapons to be removed from Tripoli and all the liberated towns, and for them to be gathered outside town," Ahmed Bani, front man for the National Transition Council's defense ministry, told a news conference.

"Some people using these arms to play around gives a negative image of the revolution and the revolutionaries," following the capture of Tripoli on August 23, he said.

But Bani insisted that despite the proliferation of arms on the streets the Qadaffy regime's weaponry had not left Libya.

NATO
...the North Atlantic Treaty Organization. A single organization with differing goals, equipment, language, doctrine, and organization....
's chief Anders Fogh Rasmussen on Monday called on the new Libyan regime to secure stockpiles of weapons amassed by Qadaffy that could fall into the wrong hands.
