Military leader Khalifa Haftar — who holds de facto power in large parts of eastern Libya — orchestrated a meeting on Tuesday as a means of "trapping" an EU delegation into recognising the legitimacy of the Benghazi-led Libyan administration, a source familiar with the issue told Euronews.
The delegation was declared "personae non gratae" and asked to depart Libyan territory upon arrival at the airport of Benghazi.
