Английская Википедия:Brigade 93
Brigade 93 is one of many militias that formed in the wake of the Libyan Civil War. It is based in Bani Walid, a former stronghold of the Gaddafi regime.[1] The militia is mainly composed of those still loyal to Gaddafi.[2]
The brigade is named after the 1993 attempted coup against Gaddafi by members of the Warfalla tribe. Salem al-Ouaer, a member of the Warfalla tribe who sided with Gaddafi during the coup, is believed to head the militia.
In January 2012, the brigade was involved in the green-revolution in Bani Walid. On 25 of January, their unexpected uprising led to the retreat of the NTC forces from Bani Walid.[3]
Weapons and equipment
The brigade was said to possess heavy weapons, including 106 mm anti-tank guns.[4]
When they took over the May 28 Brigade base, they took heavy equipment, most notably tanks.[5] In this video filmed after the takeover of the base by AFP, at least 4 tanks and a Grad rocket launcher are seen among the equipment captured by the Brigade 93.[6]
