South Africa decides to drop charges against 95 Libyans

According to reporting by the Associated Press officials in South Africa say prosecutors have withdrawn charges against 95 Libyan nationals who were arrested at an alleged illegal military training camp in the Mpumalanga province last month. Police alleged that the men — who entered the country on study visas — were receiving military training at the camp where firearms and ammunition were recovered during a widely publicized police raid. During their initial appearances in court, the accused said they were receiving security training at the camp. There was insufficient evidence to prosecute the men, the country’s National Prosecuting Authority said.
