| 2012-03-29 | |
| BENGHAZI, Libya: A powerful Libyan militia says it has begun withdrawing from the countryÂ’s main airport and will hand over security to the government, whether a police force is ready to assume control or not. The militia from LibyaÂ’s western mountainous area of Zintan has been in control of the international airport since the fall of longtime ruler Muammar QaddafiÂ’s regime in August, in the absence of a police or military force. Zintan militia spokesman Khaled Al-Zintani says former rebels have told the government they will leave their posts Sunday evening. The government promised in a statement to take over security at the airport by Sunday afternoon, but later issued a statement saying the handover was running behind schedule. The statement did not elaborate.

| #1 Zintan militia spokesman Khaled Al-Zintani says former rebels have told the government they will leave their posts Sunday evening. Ohhhh…ok. They’re former rebels ya see. That musta been back in their rebellious days. Looks like they’re all about Militia work now. Gosh, I remember when they were simply The Opposition…Reluctant warriors really when you think about it. Oh yeah…Rag-Tag was all the rage back then. Hell, the O-Team, at one time, even used to call ‘em civilians. Of course, that was after ole’ Mo called em’ vermin. Yep, pay no attention to that islamacist thing. Like Hillary said, We came…We saw…he died. (Deal with it.) |
