Libyan army chief urges rebels to join the army

None

The new head of Libya's military on Tuesday called on armed groups to put themselves under the command of the national army, after clashes in which 31 people were killed, adding that patience was running out with the independent militias.

 

"We welcome any force want to join the army and we are ready to pay bonuses to those who hand over weapons," said Salem al-Gnaidy, who became army chief of staff on Sunday. (Reuters)
