The Libyan Army on Tuesday published a document implicating eastern warlord Khalifa Haftar in bringing into the country mercenaries from Syria, reports Anadolu Agency.
Images of contracts signed between Haftar and security firms showed that every mercenary was paid $200 monthly in addition to $10 for participating in any military operation.

In April, media reports suggested that Russia had sent 300 Syrian militants from the city of Quneitra in southern Syria to Libya.
According to several international reports, Haftar’s militia includes a large number of mercenaries from Africa and the Middle East.
The Libyan Army recently inflicted heavy blows on Haftar and liberated Tripoli and Tarhuna, in addition to other strategic locations, including Al-Watiya airbase, from his militias.
