Forces aligned with the UN-backed Government of National Accord (GNA) air stoke Thursday a convoy of militias affiliated with rebel Gen. Khalifar Haftar, in south of capital Tripoli, Anadolu news agency reports. The latest airstrike adds to a string of blows dealt to Haftar forces in recent days. Haftar launched in April last year a military operation to overthrow the GNA that he accuses of being controlled by terrorists. The GNA blames the commander of trying to impose a military rule in the country. The offensive met fierce resistance from the GNA forces which have received support from Qatar and Turkey.
