Tripoli, May 19 (RHC)-- Dozens of people were killed in Libya over the weekend in attacks by forces loyal to a renegade former general. Khalifa Haftar, who helped topple Muammar Gaddafi, launched an offensive in Benghazi in what he called a bid to root out Islamist militants.
Hafta’s forces also stormed the Libyan parliament building in Tripoli, demanding the government’s suspension. The Libyan government has accused Haftar of attempting a coup.
