The Civil Registry Authority (CRA) confirmed yesterday that it had been forcibly taken over by ‘’ideologically . . .[restrict]extremist groups’’ who took control of its database of Libyan citizens which would have ‘’enabled them to control the affairs of Libyans and the manipulation of their identities for their own interests’’.

The Authority feared that the ‘’armed militias with suspicious agendas’’ would ‘’tamper with the database’’ or commit ‘’forgery and vandalism’’.

There has been no comment on this major incident from the internationally unrecognized authorities in Tripoli or their allied media outlets.
