Khalifa Haftar, the former head of Libya’s ground forces, announced that “[t]he national command of the Libyan army is declaring a movement for the new road map” and called for suspension of the interim parliament. Prime Minister Zeidan dismissed the statement, saying everything is “under control” and “working just fine.” Defense Minister al Thani reportedly said that a military coup had been foiled, and orders have been issued to arrest those behind the coup. Abdullah Mansur, Ghaddafi’s former security chief, has been handed over to Libya by Niger.
