Khalifa Hifter, the ex-general leading a revolt in Libya, spent years in exile in Northern Virginia:
Hifter, 71, is leading what may be the most serious challenge to the Libyan government since the overthrow of Moammar Gaddafi in 2011. Attacks by Hifter's forces on rival militias in Benghazi and Tripoli in recent days have left more than 70 people dead. Militiamen loyal to him have overrun parliament. Ref. Source 5
