[AlAhram] The US military said on Friday it killed 11 suspected al Qaeda holy warriors in an air strike in Libya's southwestern desert.US Africa Command (Africom) said Thursday's attack was its third since March on the bad boy group's North African branch - al Qaeda in the Islamic Maghreb (AQIM). The strike near the town of Al Uwaynat, close to the Algerian border, destroyed three vehicles and "at this time, we assess no civilians were maimed or killed," Africom added. Militants linked to al Qaeda and Islamic State ...formerly ISIS or ISIL, depending on your preference. Before that al-Qaeda in Iraq, as shaped by Abu Musab Zarqawi. They're very devout, committing every atrocity they can find in the Koran and inventing a few more. They fling Allaharound with every other sentence, but to hear the pols talk they're not reallyMoslems.... group have found a haven in Libya's vast southern desert as the country struggles to restore stability seven years after the uprising that toppled Muammar Qadaffy ...The late megalomaniac dictator of Libya, admired everywhere for his garish costumes, funny hats, harem of cutie bodyguards, and incoherent ravings. As far as is known, he is the only person who's ever declared jihad on Switzerland... . Posted by: trailing wife 2018-12-01 |
