Libyan rebel leader Haftar announces final attack on Tripoli
In the political upheaval following NATO's 2011 removal of Libyan dictator Muammar Gaddafi, the country split into a western wing controlled by UN-backed Government of National Accord, and an eastern wing controlled by General Khalifa Haftar's Libyan National Army, with 200 civilians and 2000 soldiers dying in the ensuing violence over the years. Haftar recently announced one final decisive push to retake Libyan capital Tripoli from the GNA.
