A guard stands with his weapon in front of a sports club ahead of General Khalifa Haftar’s news conference in Abyar, a small town to the east of Benghazi, May 21, 2014. Libyan renegade general Haftar called on the government to hand over power to the country’s top judges, mounting a challenge against Tripoli as heavy fighting erupted in the capital on Wednesday. Western powers fear a call by General Khalifa Haftar for army units to join his campaign will split the nascent military and trigger more turmoil in the oil producing country which is struggling to restore order three years after the fall of strongman Muammar Gaddafi.
