Two Libyan citizens filed suit in a Virginia federal court Thursday against Libyan warlord Khalifa Haftar, alleging he is responsible for the death of numerous family members, including a three year-old girl. Hafter is the commander of the Libyan National Army, the group that rules much of eastern Libya. Since 2014, Haftar’s LNA has been battling with the Government of National Accord (GNA), the group recognized as the legitimate governing body in Libya by both the U.S. and the United Nations.
