| Hassi claims beheading video a fake |

| [Libya Herald] The video issued by the Islamic State ...formerly ISIS or ISIL, depending on your preference. Before that al-Qaeda in Iraq, as shaped by Abu Musab Zarqawi. They're very devout, committing every atrocity they can find in the Koran and inventing a few more. They fling Allaharound with every other sentence, but to hear the pols talk they're not reallyMoslems.... (IS) showing its supporters beheading 21 Egyptians Copts on a beach near Sirte is a fake according to Omar Al-Hassi, the Tripoli ...a confusing city, one end of which is located in Lebanon and the other end of which is the capital of Libya. Its chief distinction is being mentioned in the Marine Hymn... -based prime minister appointed by the continuing General National Congress. "The alleged video of the killing 21 Coptic Egyptians is false and fabricated", he stated on TV this evening, claiming that Sisi had himself targeted Egypt's Copts and that he was using the story so he could invade Libya. That had become clear with Egypt's request for military intervention in Libya, he said. "Sisi is seeking to seize Cyrenaica in the east of Libya because it has oil and gas," he claimed. He thanked the Security Council for the rejecting the intervention request but insisted that the UN-brokered dialogue talks, reported to be taking place on Sunday in Morocco, again be suspended -- "unless the United Nations ...the Oyster Bay money pit... bring justice to the Egyptian regime" for its "assault on civilians in Derna". Despite claiming the video a fake, Hassi then appeared to give credence to it, or at least terrorist crimes committed by IS, by suggesting that the snuffies were in fact Qadaffy loyalists. "There are groups loyal to the Qadaffy regime out to damage our image in the international community," he said. "Qadaffy's followers are using the name of Daesh [IS] to carry out crimes in Libya." |

| #1 I suppose it could be fake but accurate, but I haven't seen a denial by ISIS. |
