He nationalized key industries, promoted an idiosyncratic political doctrine and sought regional influence, while his government suppressed dissent and sponsored violence abroad.Libyan National ArmyThe Libyan National Army, officially called the Libyan Arab Armed Forces, is a coalition of eastern-based military units led by Khalifa Haftar.
