Libyan general’s forces make major push to oust Islamist militants from Benghazi - The Washington Post
CAIRO — A rogue Libyan general waging a months-long campaign against Libya’s Islamists launched a full-blown assault on the restive city of Benghazi this week, touching off clashes with the militants dominating the landscape there.
More than a dozen people have been killed in the violence, which started Wednesday, raising fears that the battles will evolve into an all-out civil war.
Khalifa Hifter announced in a televised address Tuesday that he intends to “liberate” Benghazi — the epicenter of the 2011 uprising against strongman Moammar Gaddafi — from the Islamist militias that stalk its streets.
A day later, the 71-year-old Hifter made good on his promise. His forces — a mixture of former Gaddafi officers, pro-Hifter militias and army troops — stormed Benghazi to oust the militants.
“The fighting was very bad. It was the worst it had been in weeks,” Mohamed al-Okbi, a Benghazi shopkeeper, said in a phone interview on Thursday morning.

If you believe the Obama administration had no idea that the United Arab Emirates and Egypt were about to launch airstrikes in Libya last week, I have a bridge you may want to buy. Egypt’s reliability as a US ally may wax and wane, but the UAE has been a steady partner as well as an avid acquirer of American military hardware. The Emirati air force participated in the 2011 NATO-enforced no-fly zone over Libya that led to the overthrow of Muammar Gaddafi.
