Zintan military council announced Wednesday the full control of the joint room on the Wershiffana district and the arrest of the most prominent criminals in there, most importantly Mohammed Al-Abdalli, who is nicknamed as "Al-Suborto." Al-Suborto has been accused of many murders and kidnaps in Wershiffana over the last years. A spokesman for the Zintan military council said the join room's forces took control of all checkpoints on the coastal road after the criminals had fled. "There were no losses as the aim was not shedding blood in the district, but prevailing security and ending the crimes by destroying the criminals' hubs, which harmed Wershiffana population in the first place." "There will be forces from western military zone under the Presidential Council's command on the coastal road and the road linking Tripoli and western mountain cities, let alone security patrols and end of armed groups' presence."
