Libya

An armed group forced the Interior Ministry to close. A British Embassy spokesman in Tripoli dismissed as “factually incorrect” a report that hundreds of British soldiers are to be deployed to Libya to help train the Libyan military. The UK has offered to train 2,000 Libyan soldiers, but the location of the training would be outside Libya, the British government said. A British press report had described “secret” plans to deploy British soldiers for a training mission possibly in Libya; it also claimed MI6 is worried that large quantities of Libyan weapons have been obtained by al Qaeda-linked groups.
