Libyan Force Says Haftar Meets U.N. Chief in Benghazi

U.N. chief Antonio Guterres met Libyan commander Khalifa Haftar on Friday, an official from the strongman's forces said, a day after his fighters launched an offensive against the capital Tripoli.

The official from the self-proclaimed Libyan National Army did not give further details of the meeting, which took place in the eastern city of Benghazi.

It came hours after the United Nations secretary-general tweeted his aim to "avoid a military confrontation" in Libya.
