The interim Libyan leader Mohammad al-Magarief has vowed to disband all ‘illegitimate’ militias in the country, after the killing of the US ambassador Christopher Stevens.
In a press conference on Saturday, Magarief said that all militias which are not under government authority would be disbanded.
"[We want to] dissolve all militias and military camps which are not under the control of the state," he said.
"We call on everyone to stop using violence and carrying weapons in the streets and squares and public places."
