| Al-Qaeda threatens Libya |
| 2005-06-03 |
| An Al Qaeda cell in Libya has threatened an attack on the north-east coastal city of Darna if one of the cell leaders was not released from prison immediately. The statement, posted on the internet, was picked up by the Arab newspaper Al Quds Al Arabi. Besides attacking the town, which is located between Bengazi and the capital, Tripoli, the group also wrote about a list of targets it had drawn up, including Libyan leader Muammar Gaddafi. The newspaper reported that the statement was signed by the head of the local terror group, Abu Al Bara Al Libi. Whether or not Al Qaida has the means to cooridinate such attacks on a large scale is unknown. |

| #5 Tom: I'm betting the members of this cell will never be heard from or seen again after the use of some wires and pliers. Gaddafi's not going to put panties over their heads - that's for sure. (Oh, no! Not the panties! Anything, but the panties!) |

| #3 I think the rule is Gaddafi tells terrorists what to do. Not the other way around. Gaddafi may release him - in a body bag. |
