Libya's unity government cuts ties with warlord's son over drone attacks

Libya's government of national unity says cooperation with Saddam Haftar is now "impossible" after allegations he oversaw a "terror cell" behind drone attacks on western fuel facilities, derailing a US-backed plan to unify the country. The August drone strikes on the Zawiya oil complex and power stations worsened electricity blackouts, intensifying pressure on Prime Minister Abdul Hamid Dbeibah's GNU. Three Libyans and one Spaniard were arrested in September over the plot, allegedly linked to an LNA brigade. The US plan, crafted by Donald Trump's adviser Massad Boulos, proposed Haftar as president and a Dbeibah family member as prime minister. The allegations may also weaken Saddam Haftar's succession prospects among his brothers and complicate UN-sponsored talks aimed at holding elections within two years.
