Libya militia arrests Gaddafi supporters over plot

TRIPOLI - A Libyan militia chief said on Sunday that his fighters had captured nine supporters of overthrown leader Muammar Gaddafi who had been plotting to blow up Tripoli's power grid on New Year's eve.
"We captured explosives with them that they bought from the black market and now we're interrogating them," the commander of Tripoli's Revolutionist Council Abdullah Naker told Reuters.
Naker said that the nine Gaddafi supporters had been funded by a group of businessmen affiliated to the former leader, who was killed in October after militias overran his home town of Sirte.
Naker also accused the nine and their supporters of trying to relaunch the former leader's official television station Al Jamahiriya.
