| [MAGHAREBIA] Tripoli ...a confusing city, one end of which is located in Lebanon and the other end of which is the capital of Libya. Its chief distinction is being mentioned in the Marine Hymn... gunnies on Tuesday (May 27th) fired rockets and small arms at the home of Libya's interim prime minister, AFP reported. "There was an attack with rockets and small arms on the prime minister's house," an official said on condition of anonymity. Ahmed Miitig and his family were in the house at the time of the 3am attack, but escaped unharmed. The premier's guards opened fire on the attackers and tossed in the clink ... anything you say can and will be used against you, whether you say it or not... two, the official added. In related news Monday, the deputy chief of Libya's General National Congress (GNC) asked Abdullah al-Thani to remain in office, Libya Herald reported. In a letter, Ezzidden Al-Awami said al-Thani should continue his duties as prime minister until a replacement was either named by the GNC or selected by politicians after the June elections. Al-Awami's move followed confirmation from the justice ministry that the May 4th election of Miitig had been invalid. |
