| [MAGHAREBIA] Armed festivities broke out Sunday (April 20th) in Sirte, leaving one Libyan security officer dead and seven injured. The victims were members of the central region shield forces, who were manning a security checkpoint. They were attacked by unknown groups. "Certain people want to sow sedition in this country," said Abdelfattah al-Siwi, 35, the head of Sirte local council. "They are still not known to the security agencies in town," the council chief told Magharebia. Moussa al-Swisi, commander of Libya Revolutionary Operations Room (LROR) in Sirte, said, "There are malicious people who want to ruin and corrupt the revolution that took place in Libya, but we're on the lookout for them. We're working on a plan to secure Sirte against outlaws and corruptors." |
