A spokesman of Fajr Libya (Libyan Dawn) troops accused Egypt and the United Arab Emirates of involvement in the airstrikes that hit military bases in Tripoli last Friday leading to the death of 12 Libyan fighters.

At a press conference in Tripoli on Saturday, Ahmed Hadiya, the Fajr Libya spokesman, said that preliminary information indicate that Egypt and the United Arab Emirates are “complicit” in the bombardment of Libyan military bases in Tripoli this week.

“Fajr Libya forces reserve the right to respond to this aggression,” he told reporters.

Airstrikes on Fajr Libya military bases in Tripoli killed at least 10 people on Friday, Anadolu reported.

Hadiya called on the international community, including the UN, EU, Arab League, and African Union, and all countries which supported the17 February revolution to “undertake their responsibility in preventing any violation of Libyan sovereignty.”

He held the members of parliament convening in Tobruk and the interim government responsible for the “aggression,” warning them that they would be brought to justice.
