According to the Minister, the success of the NTC was made possible thanks to the support of the Turkish military advisers, as well as their help of the army in military training.
18 may it became known that the forces of the NTC with the support of the Turkish security forces knocked out the Libyan national army (LNA) from the air base at Tripoli. This database was of great strategic importance to the Haftarot: it was used in the operation to capture the capital of Libya.
