notes: Armed rioters closed down roads and fired gunshots in the air in protest against the arrest of Saiqa commander, Mahmoud al-Werfalli, wanted by the International criminal court on suspicion of war crimes. al-Werfalli handed himself in to the military police the day before in Marj, although al-Werfalli was released early on Thursday morning and returned to Benghazi after threats and pressure by Awaqir tribesman and senior Saiqa member Adel Makhadda.
