from tripoli, stephanie decker reports. >> it started as a small protest for people in tripoli martyre. and then it escalated. it's not clear who fired on who but this is the first time that these protests have turned violent. they've been taking place over the last few fridays, since hafta launched his protest against other groups. the man charged with integrating tripoli's military. >> there are people out there, because i present the path to that then we welcome everything they will try odo to foil our efforts. there is no option for libya but to build the police force and the army. all the militias have to disband. >> people tell us it was a massive explosion which could be heard 20 kilometers away. there is nothing left to the car but it did cause major instruction to the street. no one knows who was behind the attack prospect ever since halifa hafta launched his action, outgoing prime minister abdalla alsimi seemed to side with haftar, join the battle against what he called invisible enemy. tense and unpredictable situation. stephanie decker, al jazeera, tripoli. >> three people

stephanie decker, al jazeera, tripoli. >>> joining me is a northeastern analyst of ish. pretty complicateon the outside. we have two people in power, now a decision from the court. why have things reached this point? >> in part because the election might have happened in a bit of unusual manner. the general national congress thought the session had ended, at least some of the members thought so. they left and it was quite questionable whether or not did have the necessary core, necessary number of votes to be elected. there is a big are and broader dynamic, most important of which, these take over the most security functions. individuals who had been form err members of the libyan islamic fighting group, at some point many affiliated with al qaeda. this has compared a number of other parties in libya. >> just how fragmented are things, i'm thinking of general haftar fighting those militias. >> it's important, why haftar fighting those militias. 250 separate assassinations took place over the past two years. what ended up happening is the sprayers remaining military force

. >> you get the call to go to tripoli. >> we got the call.didn't really know where we're going at the time. we were told to get in as quick as we could and we just guessed that we were going to tripoli obviously because that was the big thing on the news at the time. it wasn't until we were in our operations that we were actually going to tripoli. >> this is really the day after, we're now on 9/12. >> yes. this is the day after september 11th. >> so you fly into tripoli and it's what, chaotic? >> actually, we didn't have a lot of information going in there. we had tried to call ahead. it wasn't until the flight going down that we knew whether or not chris stevens had made it or not. there's a lot of confusion. >> you land on the ground, and what happens? >> about 45 minutes after we arrived is when the folks from tripoli, benghazi, and the folks from the hospital arrived. >> these are the pictures that you sent, and you see the vehicles around the plane. >> right. before we had actually placed the vehicles behind the train, that's when we had

we have this report from tripoli. >> reporter: promising a strong response. he gave a short interview to a local radio station where he said he suffered minor injuries, he's fine and they remain in my spirits and will continue in their operations. as we've heard, an airstrike w where there is believed to be a group of what he calls extremists. there have been a change of tactics with suicide-bombing. this has not really been used much in libya before, and i think these groups are giving a message to the former general that while he's been threatening them for the last few weeks, that they are coming back hard, and it is an issue at a moment when there is political deadlock here in the capitol of tripoli. where there is a feeling of insecurity and no one is in charge. >> in tripoli a rocket propelled grenade was fired in a building. >> we have more from beirut. >> it's the first time that th they have met since 2009. they discussed lebanon and the boost to the baby niec lebanese lebanon. he pledged $51 million of u.s. money to be given to u.n. agencies here to

stefanie dekker joins us live from tripoli. stephanie, just what was the reason for the court ruling that the polls were unconstitutional? >> reporter: well, it all had to do with how he was spoiptd in that gnc and the acting parliament. it has to do with a number of votes quoted. initially 113. the parliament deputy speaker said the session was over and then it seems that more people arrived and kept voting and then he got 121. so this is why there has been this issue that they put into the courts to say it was illegitimate. what we are hearing from the gnc, from the body that elected him is that they have accepted the court's decision. i have to say that is a welcome move in a country that at the moment is very polarized. we spoke to one of the members of the gnc who voted for him and he said that this whole process has to do with we are trying to rebuild our institutions. we are trying to get this country back on track. we have to respect the rule of law. i think that's a welcomed development here at a time when people were

let's get right now live to tripoli. what are you learning about how he was captured and what happens next to him. >> reporter: christine, we're getting very little information. the details of how this capture actually went down. libyan government here, officials here in tripoli have not said a thing. no official comment yet from the libyans. but what we do know from the u.s. officials is for days before this operation took place, the u.s. special forces, that's the army's delta force, the fbi and intelligence agencies were closely watching ahmed abu khattala. they say also information from locals was helpful in the surveillance. now, as you mentioned earlier, he was lured to a location south of benghazi where he was grabbed. u.s. officials say not a single shot was fired. now, that's something i discussed yesterday with a former senior libyan intelligence official in benghazi who said he found it very strange that there was no resistance. that was no firefight. he that ahmed abu khattala was a well-guarded man. as you m

let's join stefanie dekker in tripoli. was there an expected result and a reason for the particular result of it being unconstitutional? >> it has to do with the number of votes he got in the parliament g.n.c. it was contested that he didn't get enough. they were voting. that's what it has to do. we spoke to local sources who tells us this ruling is final and binding. it cannot be appealed. it seems like the time is over. we hear from his camp. i spoke to advisors, this is not formal. we have to see whether he'll accept the decision, but the legal sources say he doesn't have a choice to throw a spanner in the works. there is talk that there is an administrative court that is ruling today. ali xied an fled the country in march after an issue with an illegal oil tanker, docking oil in the east. he lost a vote of confidence. there is talk. it has a case in the administrative course against that vote of confidence that he lost. that he could be named as the prime minister. certainly it goes show how complicated it is. it seems

we can join stefanie dekker, who joins me from tripoli. there was talk of a ceasefire. what is all that about? > it seems to have been talk. there was a council of wise men trying to get erp to the negotiating table and when it happened, there would be a ceasefire. we heard that the general targeted said there'll be no ceasefire or negotiations unless he stops his attacks. one of the groups says they do not negotiate with tyre ants - this is the name they use to describe the former general. it's a picture that i don't thing is conducive to any ceasefire at the mind. it's worth bearing in mind that the brigade is under the government, the chief of staff. to keep you up to date with the political development, the general national congress appointed their president of all the militias under the government command. this has upset the other camp. the g.n.c. divided. there was a positive step when all sides agreed to the court ruling, when they said that the prime minister's election was unconstitutional. this is a move that upset the other camp. thee see a supporter in contr

there is a government in tripoli. there's potential for civil war now between other forces and these militias. it's my understanding that when they smashed al libi responsible for the african bombings, i think it was last september, that the libyan government was very unhappy about that. that this was the take down of the individuals responsible for the attack on the benghazi consulate was going to be done by the libyans or with the the libyans. but my sense is there isn't much of an organization or structure or capability within libya today to undertake something along these lines without major intervention of u.s. forces, special operations forces or intelligence officers or law enforcement. so it could be the concern that if there were major operation by the united states whether it's a drone strike, or an apprehension, that it would -- could lead to making the government even more fragile or bring it down entirely or create more chaos. once again, these are just possibilities. you'd have to ask the administration.

stephanie decker joining me now life from tripoli.t has happened and give us an idea of who this man is and why he's upsetting the government there. >> reporter: well, the situation in the square seems to have calmed down in the last area but shows how quickly things can change in lib ya. everyone was alarmed. there was a study done that it says everybody household has up to six weapons, we did see shots fired, we are hearing no one injured but a lot panic when people ran away from the square. both camps were in there, those support and who are against him. context of the man himself. the former general known to libyans, he was in g go qaddafis army. fought in chad. went to the u.s. for 20 years and returned during the revolution, many libyans who might support his campaign which is to what he says rid this country of terrorist and extremist groups, they don't actually trust the man himself. they don't know what his actual aim in. >> in terms of battles themselves are they concentrated mainly in tripoli. we are hearing of attacks on b

having said that, if you look at for example we had the jordannian ambassador to libya kidnapped in tripoli, we have had targeted assassinations of various jordannian officials. i would be more worried about u.s. or western interests for example in tripoli in light of this. >> well, if people want a very clear description of what happened that night in benghazi they should pick up your book, "under fire, the untold story of the attack in benghazi. ed from and sam, glad to have you with us. trending on the web. hermella. >> stop apologizing, the video is going viral. >> i have a question. >> sorry do you have a minute? >> sorry . >> yes. can i squeeze in here? >> sorry, sorry, sorry. >> the second half of the ad show the same women speaking more pointly. differences in the way men and women are described at work. men are a boss and women are bossy. men are persuasive and women are pushy and so on. that ad has gotten over 46 million views online. looks like pa pantene, gets people to talk more about sham shampoo. antonio, dove is known for their social commentary in their commercials, when it

stephanie decker has more from libya's capital tripoli. >> reporter: right now they are convening waitinge members to arrive to see what the next step will be. they could technically try to vote him in again. he needs 120 votes but the gmc is very divided and people will tell you it will be difficult for him to get that. probably more likely they will leave the caretaker prime minister in crouch. but it's up to them at this point. you have many militias here, most of them under the government payroll. but when something comes to the point they answer really only for themselves you have all former general who has launched attacks on terrorists specifically in the east. this is something that's been ongoing in a sort of random way he targets some of the bases occasionally. there hasn't been an all-out operation, i have to say the situation hasn't changed the reality on the ground there he hasn't made headway against these groups and then, of course, the separate militias that support the different groups here, politically clashing. but i have to say in the last few weeks it's been relativel

stephanie dekker joins us live from the capital, tripoli.lier you were saying it had been a relatively quiet day and now these air strikes being reported. what more can you tell us. >> reporter: that's right, they have been going on for the last 45 to an hour. we spoke to one witness on the ground who said it was heavy, heavy bombardment that she was hearing. it's happening in three areas of the city, in the western part of bebenghazi as you said, there ae bases of certain groups that the former general who has launched this campaign against what he calls terrorist groups is targeting. however the person we spoke to said she lives close for one of the groups of the 17th brigade hadn't been hit but certainly she was hearing a lot of activity around the area. i have to tell you this came just after we heard reports i've seize firceasefire having been d by a crisis of the government speaking with tribal elders and then within 10 members we heard the strikes, it just goes to show you how difficult things are on the ground here. it is a bit of an

then there was the requirements before they went into tripoli that they had to take their uniforms off and go in civilian dress. some of these things are ludicrous but we learn from those. given the state of our financial situation and how much we have cut that the military, we are in a better situation but we are still limited. we have lots of soft targets around the world we have to be careful of. maybe we should not have even had people there. if we cannot provide security, we ought to pull back. i was talking to one of our ambassadors in a different country that i will not name. he indicated to me that we are in 60 or 70 different places around the world that were considered unsafe when he went with the state department, that he felt were probably places we should not be putting our people at risk right now. >> seven minutes left. >> you have asked for new leadership at the veterans administration. obviously, that scandal is widening. more importantly, what are the problems there that need to be fixed? what are the systemic problems? even if there is due leadership, what was someon

it took place in tripoli. there've been a special forces raid on a tanker off the coast of libya. i am a little confused as to why we have not seen anybody brought to justice in any fashion. i'm troubled by what i perceive as a lack of response. little is being said about this publicly. maybe i understand why that could be. and from outward up parents, we are outside the government, do not have access to classified information, that little is being done. g, but ibe wron hope this is something thie the special midi will look into. maybe the special committee can leaders seem why to be hiding in plain sight. weekend there is the news report about how an individual was shaking his finger at the united states and threatening us once again if we were to become involved again. i wonder if they are telling terrorists in libya -- and there are a lot of them, militia groups who do not like the united states and elsewhere -- that they can strike u.s. interests with impunity. yearsk us as much as 10 to bring osama bin laden to justice. but it did not take us that long to start rounding up hi
