Libyan Official: Terrorists Have Returned to the Capital
|
[LIBYAREVIEW] Saad bin Sherada, a member of Libya’s High Council of State (HCS) stated that most of Libya’s wanted bandidos bully boyz are safely residing in 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...
He added that the former leader of the Libyan Islamic Fighting Group (LIFG), Abdel-Hakim Belhaj "has returned to Tripoli to have his name removed from the lists of those wanted by the Attorney General on terrorism charges."
"There is a possibility this will happen," he warned. Bin Sherada expected Belhaj to not involve himself in the ongoing struggle between the two rival Prime Minister’s, Fathi Bashagha and Abdel-Hamid Dbaiba.
Earlier this week, Belhaj arrived in Tripoli, from Doha. He is one of the most prominent post-2011 militia leaders. He has been accused of being involved in several attacks on public facilities, and helping to destabilize Libya.
Since 2017, he has been added to the counter-terrorism list of four countries, including the Libyan Parliament.

...a Salafist militia which claims it is not part of al-Qaeda, even though it works about the same and for the same ends. There are groups of the same name in Libyaand Yemen, with the Libyan versions currently most active. Tunisia's Shabaab al-Tawhid started out an Ansar al-Sharia and changed its name in early 2014. It still uses the old name now and then, probably because the stationery's not all used up and the web site hasn't expired yet...
organization. This has been classified as a terrorist organization by the Tunisian Interior Ministry.
In 2019, the Libyan Attorney General issued an arrest warrant for Belhaj, in connection with several attacks on oil fields and ports, on the Tamanhint base, and for intervening in the fighting between tribe
