Armed militias are threatening the security and stability of Libya, Amnesty
International has warned. The human rights group says at least 12 detainees
held by militias have died after being tortured since September. The report
is being released to coincide with the first anniversary on Friday of the
revolt that toppled Libyan leader Muammar Gaddafi. Last month, the UN said
about 8,000 pro-Gaddafi supporters were being held by militia groups. The
interim government has said it is trying to reassert authority, but
correspondents say it has largely failed to rein in the groups.
