Turkey has sent more than 10,000 mercenaries to fight in Libya, according to the Director of Moral Guidance Department of the Libyan National Army Brigadier Khaled al-Mahjoub on Saturday.

In an interview with Sky News channel, Mahjoub noted that LNA detained 22 mercenaries, killed dozens of them, and seized 8 armed vehicles and 2 Turkish armored fighting vehicles in Tripoli battles over the past 24 hours.

"Over the past two days, LNA troops killed more than 26 terrorist leaders and over 140 Syrian mercenaries," he added.

He also pointed to new techniques to eliminate the terrorists and mercenaries.

Earlier, LNA Spokesman Ahmed Al Mesmari said that the Libyan army offered many ceasefire chances but the Government of the National Accord, backed by Turkey, exploited the ceasefire.
