U.S. says Russia is working with Syria's Assad to move militia to Libya

The United States does not support the offensive of Libya's eastern-based military leader Khalifa Haftar against Tripoli and believes Russia is working with Syrian President Bashar al-Assad to transfer militia fighters and equipment to Libya, senior U.S. officials said on Thursday. Haftar launched a war a year ago to grab the capital Tripoli and other parts of northwestern Libya.
