Tripoli, April 28, 2019 – Air raids by the self-styled Libyan National Army against the capital on Saturday night killed four people and wounded 20 others, Libya’s internationally recognised unity government said. “Several sites were targeted by air strikes late Saturday night, causing victims among civilians,” the source told AFP. “Most of the strikes hit areas in the district of Abou Slim… (but) none hit military targets.”Strongman Khalifa Haftar’s LNA launched an offensive against Tripoli, the seat of the GNA, on April 4. The GNA accuses Haftar of using foreign planes to carry out air strikes, without naming a country of origin. The country has been mired in chaos since the NATO-backed uprising that deposed and killed dictator Moamer Kadhafi in 2011.
