Chief of Staff Abdulati Al-Obeidi told Parliament that the Libyan Army is close to collapsing and that he cannot control of it. Despite calls from Parliament and the UN for a ceasefire, clashes between Islamist and government-allied militias continued in Tripoli and Benghazi. Several staff members of a Libyan TV station recently taken over by a Muslim Brotherhood leader quit, citing antigovernment bias in the station's reporting. Despite a warning from Operation Dignity that Benghazi's port would close to prevent the shipment of arms to Islamist forces there, the port was said to be operating normally today.
