The militia from Libya’s western mountainous area of Zintan has been in control of the international airport since the fall of longtime ruler Muammar Qaddafi’s regime in August, in the absence of a police or military force.
Zintan militia spokesman Khaled Al-Zintani says former rebels have told the government they will leave their posts Sunday evening.
The government promised in a statement to take over security at the airport by Sunday afternoon, but later issued a statement saying the handover was running behind schedule. The statement did not elaborate.
