   CAIRO - The prime minister of eastern Libya's interim government has

   including an attack on the headquarters of military commander Gen.
   Khalifa Haftar over the weekend.

   A spokesman for interim Prime Minister Abdullah al-Thinni said the
   resignation was submitted to Parliament speaker Aguilah Saleh, whose
   spokesman indicated it would be debated by MPs at a future session.
