Libya's UN-supported government is held hostage by "armed and terrorist militias" in the capital, Tripoli, Egypt's leader said Sunday.

President Abdel-Fattah el-Sissi said in televised comments that the Government of National Accord "is not able to have a free and real will because they have been taken hostage by armed and terrorist militias there."
Last week, the Egyptian president said a comprehensive political solution would be achieved in the coming months that would put an end to a "terrorist hotbed that pushes militants and weapons to (Libya's) neighboring countries including Egypt."
