Libyan government says militias to leave Tripoli after deal struck
Both Russia and Ukriane deny responsibility for the strike
ARMED militias in control of Tripoli for years have agreed to leave the Libyan capital.
Interior Minister Imad Trabelsi told journalists on Wednesday that a deal had been struck for the groups to hand over policing of the Libyan capital to regular forces.
Mr Trabelsi, part of the internationally recognised government of Libya, said that after lengthy negotiations it had been agreed to replace the militias with emergency police, city officers and criminal investigators.
