Paris says its missiles found on pro-Haftar base in Libya Paris, July 10 (AFP) Jul 10, 2019 The French defence ministry said Wednesday that its missiles had been found on a base used by forces loyal to Libya's Khalifa Haftar, but it denied supplying them to the rebels which would be a breach of a UN arms embargo. It said the US-made Javelin missiles found in a camp south of Tripoli had been given to French forces operating in the war-torn country, but were defective and were meant to have been destroyed. "They were not transferred to local forces," a statement from the ministry said. dab/adp/sjw/dcr |
