A Libyan military official says about 200 armed men are surrounding
the Foreign Ministry building in Tripoli, demanding the ministry to
reform and hire former fighters who helped overthrow former dictator
Moammar Gadhafi.
Esam al-Naas said 38 trucks, some mounted with machineguns, had
surrounded the ministry on Sunday. The men allege that many supporters
of the old regime are still occupying senior positions in the ministry
and its missions abroad.
He said negotiations with the protesters are underway and that no one has entered the ministry building.
