Public Prosecutor’s Office reveals results of interrogations on ISIS terror group
2017-10-02
[Libya Observer] We were at the Public Prosecutor’s Office in central 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...
for a highly anticipated presser held by the head of the Interrogations Office of the Public Prosecutor’s Office, Siddiq Soor. The presser was held to reveal the results of preliminary interrogations with ISIS captives held in jug after their loss in the war in Sirte.

Some of the main revelations indicated that the very first man to introduce the idea of ISIS in Libya was a man by the name of Hassan Bilaraj, who was tossed in the slammer
Youse'll never take me alive coppers!... [BANG!]... Ow!... I quit!
in Iraq in 2005 yet returned to Libya in 2012.

Bilaraj and his early associates planned the creation of three ISIS emirates in Libya; four main institutions would make up the foundation of each emirate.

The main institutions were arms, recruitment, immigration and border control and finally media. Brigades were formed to protect these institutions, the main ones being Border Protection Brigades, Recruitment Brigades and the Desert Brigades.

Looking at the slideshow presented by the Prosecutor’s Office, it was clear to see that the terror group was extremely organized and well on their way to creating a full functioning state.

Some of the Main traces of finance that supported the creation of ISIS were unintentional support by previous governments, which made payments to individuals who were registered in groups under the Interior Ministry, but later joined the terror group. Bank robberies were also a main method of finance as well as kidnapping and extortion. Financing also arrived from the main headquarters of the terror group in Syria and Iraq. Those in charge of the emirates were identified along with their current status, whether they were killed in action or still on the lam, most being Libyans originating from Sirte.

Many of the bully boyz who set up safe houses in Sabratha were of Tunisian origin and planned to train their elements then transfer them to Syria and Iraq while sleeper cells were created to infiltrate other cities like Zliten, Misrata and Tripoli.

There were four nationalities for elements of ISIS totaling over 100, they were Libyan, Sudanese, Tunisian and Egyptian, and others ranged from Soddy Arabia
...a kingdom taking up the bulk of the Arabian peninsula. Its primary economic activity involves exporting oil and soaking Islamic rubes on the annual hajj pilgrimage. The country supports a large number of princes in whatcha might call princely splendor. When the oil runs out the rest of the world is going to kick sand in the Soddy national face...
to Qatar
...an emirate on the east coast of the Arabian Peninsula. It sits on some really productive gas and oil deposits, which produces the highest per capita income in the world. They piss it all away on religion, financing the Moslem Brotherhood and several al-Qaeda affiliates...
, Yemen, Algeria, even as far as the United States. The total number of nationalities captured or killed is 26.

The main routes taken by foreigners entering Libya were Tunisians and Egyptians who travelled towards the south, coupled with all those from countries south of Libya who would then travel north through the desert to Sirte.

Many liquidation cases were solved as a result of interrogations when previously unsolved cases were traced to ISIS elements. The Tunisian journalists who were kidnapped in Libya were also mentioned by ISIS captives and the facts of how they were kidnapped was revealed to interrogators.

Some other interesting points was the fact that many previously unsolved bank robberies were revealed to be ISIS jobs and tracing a lot of the ISIS elements past linked them directly to al-Qaeda. Bombings that totaled over 200 were also attributed to ISIS after investigations leaded to prove so.

Soor stated that his office is continuing their investigations to reveal the resting place of the Egyptian Coptic Christians who were videoed by ISIS being beheaded in Sirte. Soor also stated that up to 800 arrest warrants have been issued for suspects linked to the terror organization ISIS.
