Groups of revolutionaries drive their vehicles along a road in Tripoli September 21, 2013. Too weak to take back control of a country awash with weapons from the era of Muammar Gaddafi, Libya’s central government has been forced to try co-opt militias into semi-official security services over which it exercises little control. More than 225,000 Libyans are registered in dozens of militias under nominal state control. Picture taken September 21, 2013.
