2018-07-12 |
[Libya Observer] The commander of the self-styled army Khalifa Haftar![]() ordered Wednesday the arrest of frontlines commander at al-Saiqa Force Mahmoud al-Werfalli for his "escape from military prison while under investigation for military codes’ violations." Media outlets loyal to Haftar reported sources from the general command of the self-styled army as saying that the arrest order is due to al-Werfalli’s break out of prison in Rajma, eastern Libya. Libya al-Hadath TV channel, which is owned by Haftar’s family, said Haftar ordered the apprehension of runaway al-Werfalli and his loyalists "for breaking the law and endangering people’s lives." Al-Werfalli made a cinematic escape from prison and arrived in Benghazi last week. He also carried out an attack on military investment authority looking for its chief al-Madani al-Fakhri, stealing some of the belongings in there. A leaked walkie-talkie call was also posted on social media on Tuesday when he vowed to keep looking for al-Fakhri till doomsday, calling home a corrupted person and a thief. |
