Libya to re-deploy regular security forces at Tripoli airport

Libya's Interior Minister Abdussalam Ashour speaks at a press conference in Tripoli, Libya, Sept. 17, 2018. Regular security forces will be re-deployed to secure Mitiga International Airport in Libya's capital Tripoli, Interior Minister Abdussalam Ashour announced Monday. The airport was closed twice recently because of indiscriminate shelling, as the capital witnessed violent clashes between the government forces and the "7th Brigade" militia from the city of Tarhuna, some 80 km southeast of Tripoli.
