| Fighters Attack a Hotel in Tripoli |
| 2012-09-27 |
| Libyan militia fighters assaulted a hotel in Tripoli housing members of the newly elected General National Congress on Tuesday, dramatizing the challenge the government faces in enforcing its ultimatum that all unauthorized brigades must submit to its authority or disband by the start of the day. The attack came as an American team arrived in Tripoli to investigate the death of Ambassador J. Christopher Stevens in an assault this month on the American Mission in Benghazi. Libyans who had spoken with the team said the investigators had reached Tripoli, but it was unclear when they might proceed to Benghazi, where security for American government officials is precarious. Representatives of the State and Justice Departments would not comment on the investigatorsÂ’ whereabouts. |
