Àprès Kadhafi: un rapport des nouvelles par Le Monde

Weapons destroyed.
Libyan news isn't a primary interest of mine. Yet occasionally I indulge in an article. Today I read an article from Le Monde which describes the difficult issues of demobilizing troupes after the passing of Kadhafi into history.

Vocabulary and expressions I picked up include:
lanceurs de missiles = missile launchers
avouer = to admit or confess
decrocher = unhook, disconnect
se prélasser  = to relax or lounge about
deux pages de recto verso de renseignementstwo pages, double-sided, information
c'est pour ceux qui n'ont rien de mieuxit's for those who have nothing better
reprendre = to resume
Les choses vont se faire petit à petit = things will go gradually
jurent-ils = they swear
remporter = to win or gain
saisir = to grasp or grab
