Libya Ministers Resign over Militia Fighting
TEHRAN (Tasnim) - The official Libyan news agency said six ministers have resigned after accusing the government of taking sides in escalating battles among rival militias.
LANA, quoting TV network al-Nabaa, said on Wednesday that the ministers of industry, labor, planning, education and water resources, and the state minister for the affairs of the wounded, have submitted their resignation.
It quoted Industry Minister Suleiman al-Taif as saying the government was taking sides in the conflict, with the prime minister acting "without their knowledge."
The North African country has been convulsed by fighting between militias and their opponents, including a renegade general who is battling extremists in the east, AP reported.
