Libya's army decries US ambassador's tweet on attack

Libya's army deplored remarks made by the US ambassador to the Arab country on air strikes launched by the military.
Deborah K. Jones alleged in a tweet that the raids left eight civilians dead on Monday.
"The army's chief of staff ..decries what the US ambassador said on Twitter," said a statement released by the military.
It said the raids targeted a Fajir-Libya-linked militia. Fajir Libya has been controlling Tripoli where it formed a rival government.
Allegations that civilians were killed in the attack are unfounded, said the statement, adding that the militia attacked the house of a military commander who was killed and four of his relatives.
The army termed as "support for terrorism" the US diplomat's remarks.
