Libya arrests 50 after US envoyÂ’s killing | |||
2012-09-17 | |||
Libyan authorities have arrested about 50 people after last week’s killing of US ambassador Chris Stevens in a mob attack in the city of Benghazi, Libya’s parliament chief said Sunday, saying it was planned by foreigners. ‘The number reached about 50,’ Mohammed Al Megaryef, president of the Libyan National Congress, told CBS News in an interview.
Megaryef said ‘a few’ of those who joined in the attack were foreigners, who had entered Libya ‘from different directions, some of them definitely from Mali and Algeria.’ ‘The others are affiliates and maybe sympathizers,’ he added. Megaryef said the government has learned the attack was not the result of a spontaneous outburst of anger over a US-made anti-Islam movie which has triggered sometimes deadly protests in the Arab and Muslim world. ‘It was planned, definitely, it was planned by foreigners, by people who entered the country a few months ago. And they were planning this criminal act since their arrival,’ he told CBS.

#2 Casablanca: "round up the usual suspects", and make sure a lot of them try to escape or resist. We need the money and the kaffirs will buy any BS at this point. |

#1 "Mr. Ugati is dead, I'm afraid. I'm filling out the paperwork now - I haven't quite decided whether he committed suicide or was shot while trying to escape..." |
