Turkey warns Libya's Haftar against attacks on its forces

Turkish Defense Minister Hulusi Akar warned that any attempt by Khalifa Haftar and his personnel to attack Turkish forces in Libya would be met with force, DW reports.

"A war criminal, murderer Haftar and his supporters must know that they will be seen as a legitimate target in case of any attack on Turkish forces," Hulisi said in remarks to Turkish troops in Tripoli late Saturday that were made available to media on Sunday.

"If they take such a step, they will be unable to find any place to flee to," he added, referring to Haftar's forces. "Everyone should come to their senses."
