- Al-Saiqa_(Libya) abstract "The Al-Saiqa Brigade (Arabian:الصاعقة, i.e. Lightning) is a Libyan elite army unit, formed from a mixture of paratroopers, paramilitary forces and commandos. The pro-Government force emerged from a militia back in 2010; however, the Al Saiqa Brigade has been criticised for its origins which track back to the Qaddafi's regime: In 1990s, al-Saiqa helped to suppress the rebellion of Libyan Islamic Fighting Group. It now numbers about 5000 soldiers and reports to the Ministry of Defence.As of 2013, the Al-Saiqa commander was Colonel Wanes Abu Khamadah.Al-Saiqa has came to prominence after its deployment in Benghazi in summer 2013, in an attempt to control the growing disorder. As a result, it was repeatedly came attacked and several of its officers killed. The force is reportedly popular in Benghazi, particularly in light of its stance against the Islamist Ansar al-Sharia group and because it is seen as a symbol of the reborn Libyan armed forces.The Al-Saiqa Brigade reportedly has had frictions with the Libya Shield Force, a government-sanctioned powerful militia; despite of these frictions, between November and December 2013 the Al-Saiqa Brigade fought the Ansar al-Sharia militia, suffering some losses.".
