Libya’s air force said in a Facebook post that 20 US commandoes
arrived at Wattiya airbase and disembarked “in combat readiness,” only
to be told to leave. Pentagon sources confirmed the US had sent a
special forces unit to Libya as part of a mission.
The Libyan Air Force said
the 20 soldiers arrived at the airbase on Monday, but left soon after
local commanders asked them to go because they had no right to be at the
base “without prior coordination with protection force base.”The Libyan air force published a Facebook post on Wednesday which included photographs of the special forces unit. It noted the 20 soldiers had disembarked “in combat readiness wearing bullet proof jackets, advanced weapons, silencers, handguns, night vision devices and GPS devices.”
