BENGHAZI, Libya (Reuters) – Libyan rebels have sent a request for weapons they need to countries that have recognized their national council as the sole representative of Libya, a spokesman said on Tuesday.

“We have submitted a list of military and technical equipment we need,” Abdel Hafiz Ghoga, official spokesman for the council, told reporters in the rebel stronghold of Benghazi.

Asked which countries the rebels were asking for weapons, Ghoga said: “Obviously we’ve been asking the countries that have already recognized the national transitional council as the sole representative for Libya.”
