TRIPOLI: The armed forces of Libya’s internationally-recognized government are on alert for a “possible attack” near the border with Tunisia and Algeria by forces loyal to the divided country’s rival eastern administration, local media reported Thursday.
“Salahuddin Al-Namroush, the deputy chief of staff, has instructed army units to be on high alert and ready to repel any possible attack,” a military source told the Libya Al-Ahrar television channel.
