"New" Libya Releases 600 Jihadists From Prison
Obama did this. Was there any thought to what we were doing in Libya when it became evident back in March that al Qaeda was in and among the "rebel" faction? How is al qaeda preferable to Qaddafi?
We spent billions assisting in the overthrow of Qaddafi, and Libya's rebel government said Sunday that it will not extradite the Muslim Lockerbie bomber, Abdel Baset al-Megrahi, who was convicted in the 1988 bombing of a U.S.-bound jetliner which killed 270 people (mostly Americans) when it exploded over Lockerbie, Scotland.
Tens of thousands dead, billions spent .......... for what?
The newly islamicized Libya freed hundreds of hardcore Jihadists from prison there. Check out the latest from CNN. Noman Benotman is a former Libyan Islamic Fighting Group Member who renounced violence and joined the Quilliam Foundation, a counter-radicalization group based in the UK. According to him:
World Report: Hundreds of Libyan Jihadists Released from Jail The Blaze
Rebels Release 600 Al-Qaeda Terrorists (BREAKING NEWS)“The freed militants had been imprisoned in Tripoli‘s Abu Salim prison by Moammar Gadhafi’s regime during the height of the insurgency in Iraq… as many as 600 militants may have been among the prison population at Abu Salim.”
In an even more distressing admission, Benotman also told CNN that many of the militants released are pro-al Qaeda and could infiltrate and perhaps control elements of the rebel forces, or start their own militant factions. He continued his analysis with this question:
“Nobody knows what these released prisoners are going to do next…will they take part in the fighting and if they do will they join pre-existing rebel brigades or form a separate fighting force?”
