There are now deep divisions in Tahrouna, previlously a Qaddafi stronghold.

Its former member of Congress, Salem Ali Hamali, was kidnapped and then murdered last month. In March, two brothers of the town’s member of the House of Representatives were abducted. There has also been bitter and bloody rivalry between two prominent families, the Habshis and  the Marghanis, the latter formerly Qaddafi supporters but now hardline Islamists. [/restrict]
