Its chief distinction is being mentioned in the Marine Hymn... -based government have been killed during festivities with ISIL Takfiri ...an adherent of takfir wal hijra, an offshoot of Salafism that regards everybody who doesn't agree with them as apostates who must be killed... snuffies close to the central city of Sirte. "Twelve heroes of the Libyan army have been killed treacherously at Noufliyeh," Tripoli authorities said on Wednesday. Noufliyeh is a stronghold of the Takfiri gunnies who have been in control of vast regions around Sirte since February, they added. As of yet there have been no reports in relation to ISIL casualties. According to the Tripoli-based defense ministry, the fighting broke out on Saturday after ISIL fighters blocked a coastal road in protests to the arrests of some of their leaders. The Tripoli-based General National Congress, backed by the Fajr Libya militias controlling the capital, are waging a war against the official Libyan army, supported by the Tobruk-based parliament, in the far east of the country. The new Tripoli rulers have set up a rival parliament and government not recognized by the international community. |
