Last night the troops also drove the radicals of the building of the security department of Benghazi. Locals have supported military in fight against terrorists opposing them for months.

As previously passed the Arab media, army units a few days ago came to Benghazi from the east and continue to advance and strengthen our position and moving deeper into the village.

The backbone of the government forces are units of Major General Khalifa Haftorah, which in May led counter-terrorism operation “Dignity Libya” against Islamist groups. The Libyan army is opposed to the Islamists, who started in mid-July, a military campaign, dubbed “Dawn Libya.” The structure consists of an alliance of radical extremists entrenched in Benghazi “Ansar al-Shari’a”, “Al-Qaeda”, and are at the forefront of “the Muslim Brotherhood.”
