Libya's internationally recognised government says plans were discussed with the head of US Africa Command (AFRICOM) to jointly "fight terrorism" in the war-torn country during a meeting with Prime Minister Fayez al-Sarraj. The two US officials arrived at Zuwara Airport, about 120km (100 miles) west of the capital Tripoli for the meeting. They held talks on "joint coordination between the GNA and AFRICOM for the fight against terrorism in the framework of the strategic cooperation between Tripoli and Washington", the GNA said. Tensions are rising in Libya with the GNA enjoying Turkish military support in its conflict against renegade commander Khalifa Haftar and his Libyan National Army (LNA).
