Al-Qaida threatening Libya?
2005-05-30
BEIRUT, Lebanon, May 30 (UPI) -- The al-Qaida network is reportedly threatening terrorist attacks in Libya if it fails to release imprisoned followers, an Islamic Web site said Monday.
Threaten away, I'm sure the Q-man will give it the attention it deserves
The site, monitored in Beirut, carried a statement signed by Abu Baraa al-Libi, presumed leader of al-Qaida in the North African Arab country.
"We salute the struggling Libyan people and inform you that our Jihadist operations will begin soon against the tyrant's forces in the city of Darna," the statement said. It also threatened to "cut off the heads of atheists" and vowed "not to settle for less than the release of our leaders and followers held in Libyan prisons."
The statement, which could not be authenticated, did not say how many al-Qaida followers were imprisoned in Libya.
Not enough, but I'm sure they'll be wotking on it.

#7  I dunno, James. They cooperated with Saddam, to an extent. They are somewhat allied to Syria and Shiite Iran. Sure, there's friction, but as they are all members of the Religion of Peace™, they can sort it out.

#6  I'd not expect Wahabbi-types to like the Q-man much; he's got his own private brand of Muhammadanism.

#3  Interrogate the Al-Q prisoners. Obtain all available intelligence from them. Dispose of in accordance with hazardous waste procedures. Rinse and repeat.

Dateline Tripoli: Abu Bin Jihadi, an Al Qaida leader was released from Libyan prison yesterday ... and again today. Additional parts are scheduled for release tomorrow.
