Libya appoints military officers to head militias
None
Libya's military command appointed Monday a pair of army officers to head two powerful Islamist militias in the country's east, part of the government's push to rein in armed factions.
The move reflects the pressure on the government to control or disband the country's militias, many of which it had relied upon for securing Libya in the turmoil following last year's ouster and killing of longtime leader Muammar Gaddafi. (AP)
