Libyan Army faces new threat as old foe returns

BEIRUT, LEBANON (10:00 P.M.) – On Monday, the Islamic State (ISIS/ISIL/IS/Daesh) claimed responsibility for an attack targeting the security gate of the Libyan National Army (LN)A, which is led by Field Marshal Khalifa Haftar, in the southern district of Trajan. The terrorist organization said through its official media wing that the attack, which occurred two days ago, was carried out by an explosive device planted at the entrance of the Battalion 628 infantry base, resulting in the destruction of a military vehicle. In the meantime, Reuters news agency quoted the local military commander as saying that the explosives were hidden in a vehicle belonging to the Libyan National Army forces, stressing that the explosion did not result in casualties.

Libyan Army captures ‘one of the most dangerous’ Syrian ISIS operatives: video

BEIRUT, LEBANON (9:00 P.M.) – The Libyan National Army (LNA) announced the arrest of a Syrian national, Mohammad al-Ruwaidani, who was said to be “one of the most dangerous ISIS operatives from Syria.” According to the LNA’s spokesperson, Ahmad Al-Mismari, the Libyan Army captured Al-Ruwaidani while they were clashing with the Turkish-backed Government of National Accord (GNA) forces at the Tripoli front. Al-Mismari said that Al-Ruwaidani was fighting in Libya “under the auspices of the Turkish intelligence as Emir of the Legion of the Levant,” noting that he was fighting in the ranks of the Government of National Accord, which they said is “led by Turkish officers.” A video showing the ISIS operative was released by the Libyan National Army’s media channel; it shows the moment that their forces apprehended him. It is not clear when Al-Ruwaidani went to Libya, but given the recent arrival of a large number of Turkish-backed militants, it is likely that he joined a Free Syrian Army (FSA) faction before going to…
