| Defence Minister unveils plans for Italian border surveillance system |
| 2013-11-28 |
| [Libya Herald] The Minister of Defence has flown to Italia to discuss collaboration on security. In the advance to his meetings in Rome, Abdullah Al-Thinni divulged plans to invest in a state-of-the-art border surveillance system with the help of Italian expertise. Speaking just before his departure, Thinni said that the Ministry of Defence would be working with an Italian satellite company to set up a border monitoring system. The plans are the latest in attempts to combat the movement of bully boy groups and smugglers across the open frontiers. Thinni told Rooters that Libya had contracted Selex, part of the defence and aerospace group Finmeccanica, to devise a satellite-based surveillance system to cover the border from the Mediterranean coast to the sub-Saharan boundaries. Work would start in December. "It will cover the whole border. From the end of 2014 the southern border will be sealed. The crossing points and weak spots will be closed with the help of satellites," he said. Meanwhile, ...back at the dirigible, Jack stuck the cigar in his mouth, stepped onto the gantry, and asked Got a light, Mac? Von Schtinken stopped short, lowering the dagger and trying to control his features. If you light that thing, Herr Armschtröng,he pointed out, his voice tense, we all die!... the Ministry of Defence announced, also this week, that Egypt and Libya would be creating a joint border force to stop the movement of faceless myrmidons between the two countries. |
