Amnesty: Libya militias committing war crimes
2014-10-31
Of course they are.
[ARABNEWS] Amnesia Amnesty International says rival militias and gangs in Libya are committing "mounting war crimes" with impunity.

In a new report released Thursday, it accuses fighters of having complete disregard for civilian lives, saying turbans have fired GRAD rockets and artillery into civilian neighborhoods. It also says "scores of civilians have been kidnapped by gangs."

"In today's Libya the rule of the gun has taken hold. Armed groups and militias are running amok, launching indiscriminate attacks in civilian areas and committing widespread abuses, including war crimes, with complete impunity," Deputy Director for the Middle East and North Africa Hassiba Hadj Sahraoui said in a statement.

#7  Amnesia seems to be unable to connect the dots about who really does commit war crimes because to do so would reveal a truth they're unwilling to accept.

#4  Does it seem like the outrage is conditional on the PCness of the victim group.

If Muzzies are on the receiving end you're the big bad aggressor, if you're a juice well tough s#!t.
