LNA says last Benghazi militants all wearing suicide vests
2017-07-29
[Libya Herald] The Libyan National Army (LNA) claimed today that the surviving bandidos gunnies in Benghazi’s Sidi Akribesh area are wearing boom jackets.

A Saiqa Special Forces
...Libya's elite army unit, insofar as they have one, formed from a mixture of paratroopers and commandos. The group emerged from a militia with the same name in 2010. It now numbers a few thousand and reports to the Ministry of Defence. It deployed in Benghazi in an attempt to control the carnage. As a result, it has been attacked and several of its officers murdered. The force is popular in Benghazi for its stance against Ansar al-Sharia group...
 front man said that the bandidos gunnies had now been confined to a single building which contained a butchers, a shoe store and a coffee shop.

"Most of the terrorist elements trapped in the area" said the front man, "are wearing boom belts for fear of being caught alive because of the lack of space between us and them".

The LNA’s is continuing to struggle to defeat the last remaining bandidos gunnies 22 days after armed forces commander-in-chief Khalifa Hafter announced final victory

Meanwhile the explosives that the bandidos gunnies left behind them as they retreated through Suq al-Hout and Sabri are still claiming victims. The latest was 33 year old Egyptian Shaaban Mohammed Ferghali who is reported to have stood on a landmine today in Sabri. He was taken to Jalaa hospital where his condition was this evening described as stable.
