Security is my priority, no one to blame for poor security - Thinni
2014-03-13
[Libya Herald] Caretaker Prime Minister Abdullah Thinni said that security was his priority during his brief two week tenure.

Asked what were his priorities in his new job at his first presser today, former Defence Minister Thinni said that security was his main priority "especially in Benghazi and Derna" where everyday there are liquidations.

However,
the way to a man's heart remains through his stomach...
Thinni refused to blame his former boss Ali Zeidan for the poor security situation in Libya. The new caretaker Prime Minister preferred to blame Libya's post revolutionary situation and weak state, including the widespread dispersion of weapons.

Thinni admitted that the security issue was "a big challenge".

It will be recalled that Abdullah Thinni was not credited with having made any change on the security front in his previous role as Defence Minister.
