On Tuesday, officials of the {{w|US}} military said they believed that recent airstrikes in the {{w|Libya|LibyanTripoli}} capital of, {{w|TripoliLibya|Libyan}} last week were the responsibility of {{w|Egypt}} and the {{w|United Arab Emirates}} (UAE).
 
The announcement follows claims of responsibility from forces loyal to Libyan General {{w|Khalifa Haftar}}, who has been moving in support of militias involved in the widespread conflict within the country. Egypt has denied responsibility, with sources reporting that the government of the UAE has thus far declined to comment.
 
There had already been evidence ofsuggesting foreign involvement, with reports of US-made bomb fragments being found in the wreckage. Previous attacks by General Haftar's forces have struck {{w|Benghazi}}, with Libyan planes said to lack the range or capabilities for a night time attack on a target as distant as Tripoli.
 
US officials are said to have been aware of the possibility of involvement from other regional countries, with Egypt, UAE and {{w|Saudi Arabia}} supporting secular militias, while {{w|Qatar}} support more Islamist forces, who are locked in violence as they contest the future of their country. Rulers within the region are also reported to be alarmed by the recent gains from Islamist factions.
