Libya's government says its army was left with 'no choice but to respond' to attacks by warlord Khalifa Haftar's militias
Fayez al Sarraj, Chairman of the Presidential Council of Libya’s Government of National Accord holds a press conference in Tripoli, Libya on 15 February 2020
"The insane attacks carried out by the war criminal Haftar against the capital Tripoli these days are a sign that he was despaired as a result of his successive defeats and that he was nearing the end of his bloody project, which he carried out to take over the administration. The terrible crimes committed by Haftar leave us no choice but to respond with an iron claw by using all our means," al Sarraj said.
The army targeted points where the militias launched rocket attacks on civilian settlements in Tripoli during the day, he said.
