CAIRO: Contradicting a statement by a Libyan official recently, the U.S. military has denied taking part in a raid on an al Qaeda site in the Libyan city of Ubari.
The spokesperson for Fayez al-Sarraj, had on Wednesday said in a statement that a site with a number of al Qaeda members in Ubari was raided by joint U.S.-Libyan forces.
The U.S. Africa Command, responsible for American troops in the area, said that although the US supports counterterrorism efforts of the U.N.-recognized Libyan government, U.S. forces were not involved in the raid.
