Serraj dismisses brigadier general for threatening airstrikes in Egypt

The head of Libya’s Presidency Council, Faiez Serraj, dismissed Brigadier Mohamed Ganaidi from the Military Intelligence Directorate and the Libyan army, Libya Herald reports. Ganaidi was dismissed after being suspended last week for threatening to attack targets in Egypt, the UAE, and Saudi Arabia with threats that included bombing the Egyptian presidential palace. On a related note, Reuters says that Libya’s rival factions are “still far apart on the issue of the leadership of a future national army.”
