Military commander at Libya’s Al-Bunyan Al-Marsous Operation survives assassination
2018-11-05
[Libya Observer] The deputy chief of the Sirte Protection and Security Force (SPSF) Ali Erfida was targeted by an liquidation attempt on Sunday in al-Khums city as he was heading to Tripoli
...a confusing city, one end of which is located in Lebanon and the other end of which is the capital of Libya. Its chief distinction is being mentioned in the Marine Hymn...
, front man of SPSF Taha Hadid said.

Erfida was sent to al-Khums Hospital and his health condition was very critical after his car was shot at by button men.

According to local sources from al-Khums, Erfida’s body suffered several wounds and had to undergo a surgery to stop bleeding.

"There should be a swift and thorough investigation into the incident." The SPSF said in a statement.

Erfida is from al-Khums city. He was a navy officer but left to be part of al-Bunyan al-Marsous operation in the fight against ISIS, then he became a part of the SPSF.

Al-Khums is suffering from lack of security and a heavy presence for gangs with extreme ideologies such as Salafism-Madkhalism.

Armed groups also control most vital institutions and facilities in al-Khums such as the port.

#1  "At its core, Madkhalism is an offshoot of Salafi thought, but with a few differences. Unlike certain other Salafi groups, Madkhali teachings are especially popular with more autocratic Islamic regimes around the world, as they combine the dogmatism of mainstream Salafi thought with an unwavering devotion to those in power. Specifically, the role of wali al-amr (literally one vested with authority) is considered inviolable, as a direct gift from God."
