Libyan authorities to dissolve 'unlawful' militias
The Libyan authorities said late Saturday they had decided to dissolve all militias and armed groups that did not come under State authority.
The move, a day after Benghazi residents rebelled against the militias in violence that killed at least 11 people and wounded over 70, was announced by Mohammed al-Megaryef, head of the national assembly, in the eastern city.
The authorities also decided to put in place an "operations room" in Benghazi bringing together the army, forces of the interior ministry and defence ministry brigades comprising former rebels.
