The situation in Libya is still in a state of flux ever the overthrowing of Moammar Gadhafi two years prior. Now, the Libyan security forces, which are new and lacking in experience will be trained by the United States military, according to Admiral William McRaven. McRaven is in charge of the U.S. Special Operations Command and said on Saturday that the United States will help to train five to seven thousand troops and some counterterrorism troops as well. The training may take place in Europe and those involved are waiting for the final paperwork and details to start.
On Friday, 43 people were killed and many more injured during a skirmish in the capitol of Tripoli. The violence began for America when the United States Ambassador Chris Stevens and three others were killed on September 11th at the American Embassy. The US has a standing reward of ten million dollars if anyone has any information about the murders of these Americans. It was a NATO air raid that help to overthrow the dictator Gadhafi 24 months ago, but the security forces have been poor since then. Some people are unhappy with the help given so far, including some human rights groups.
