Militia takes over US compound in Libya

Written By Unknown on Minggu, 31 Agustus 2014 | 23.54

A MILITIA group says it has "secured" a US embassy compound in Libya's capital, more than a month after US personnel evacuated from the country over ongoing fighting.

AN Associated Press reporter walked through the compound on Sunday after the Dawn of Libya, an umbrella group for Islamist militias, invited onlookers inside.

Windows at the compound had been broken, but it appeared most of the equipment there remained untouched.A commander for the Dawn of Libya group said his forces had entered and been in control of the compound since last week.A video posted online showed men playing in a pool at the compound.In a message on Twitter, US ambassador to Libya Safira Deborah said the video appeared to have been shot at the embassy's residential annex.She also said it appeared the compound was being "safeguarded" and was not "ransacked".On July 26, US diplomats evacuated to neighbouring Tunisia under a US military escort.The State Department said embassy operations would be suspended until the security situation improved.The Dawn of Libya militia is deployed around the capital and has called on foreign diplomats to return now that the fighting in the city has subsided.
