Sifting through intelligence documents found in Tripoli, pan-Arab news network Al Jizz reports discovering a top-secret document that proves that the deposed Libyan leader Muammar Al Qadaffy...whose instability has been an inspiration to dictators everywhere...
, now in hiding, had spies at the highest levels of the rebel movement at least until the fall of Tripoli.
It says that the document, discovered in a sealed envelope on Al Senussi's abandoned desk at the Libyan intelligence service's headquarters in Tripoli is a briefing for Libyan intelligence criminal mastermind Abdullah Senussi. It details key weapons sites across the Western Mountains, with a focus on the pivotal town of Azzawiyah, which proved to be the rebels' gateway into the capital.
Al Jizz concludes that one of the spies appears to have provided Al Qadaffy's forces with maps and identified National Transitional Council (NTC) commanders who were to lead the attack on Ghazaya and Azzawiyah, together with the forces and vehicles the rebel leaders had available.
The documents also suggest that the Libyan rebel fighters were using refugee camps on the Libyan border set up by Qatar, the United Arab Emirates and Kuwait to smuggle in weapons and pick up trucks.
Al Qadaffy's spies (whose names Al Jizz says has redacted) suggested that the rebels had the permission of the Tunisian prime minister and his army chief to use the camps as a base.
"There are 4x4 vehicles in the Qatar, Kuwaiti and UAE camps, equipped with automatic weapons and hidden under tents," reads one document. The agent who wrote the briefing also singled out the names of NTC leaders, suggesting they be targeted for liquidation.
"I have drawn up a plan of which rebel commanders and NTC leaders should be killed. This will strike fear within their ranks and cause disunity between them," reads the document.
In return for this information, the double agent expected the Libyan government to meet his three demands -- by providing a luxurious car, preferably a white BMW; paying out an 'exceptional' amount of cash; and supplying him with a Thuraya satellite phone to use for 'sensitive' phone calls.
In its exclusive, Al Jizz goes on to say that Al Qadaffy's spying was not limited to double agents. His spy network was also able to intercept highly sensitive emails, including those from NTC chief Mahmoud Jibril.
One such email appears to be from the foreign ministry of Cyprus to leaders in Benghazi, outlining a planned visit by their foreign minister to the NTC's stronghold.
It said that other documents found in the Intelligence Headquarters suggested that Al Qadaffy's secret services were not limited to Libyan borders, and that government officials all over the world - in Libyan embassies - were used to spy on expatriates supporting the opposition from abroad.
