Younger brother of Manchester bomber was planning terrorist attack in Tripoli, SDF says

2017-05-25

[Libya Observer] The younger brother of Manchester Arena jacket wallah, Salman Abedi, has been locked away
Keep yer hands where we can see 'em, if yez please!
in Tripoli
...a confusing city, one end of which is located in Lebanon and the other end of which is the capital of Libya. Its chief distinction is being mentioned in the Marine Hymn...
, security forces reported on Wednesday.

The Special Deterrence Force (SDF) said Hashim Abedi, 20, was arrested on Tuesday at 8:30 PM local time while he was receiving LYD 4500 transferred to him from his brother to carry out a terrorist attack in Tripoli.

"He was under security surveillance for about a month and a half," the SDF reported in its Facebook page.

Preliminary interrogation with Hashim has revealed that the two brothers are members of the radical group of ISIS and that he had enough information about Manchester bombing.

"Hashim left Britannia on April 04, 2017, and he was in constant contact with his brother Salman prior to the bombing," the SDF said.

Salman Abedi, a dual Libyan-British citizen, detonated an bomb inside Manchester Arena Monday night killing 22 people.

#3 What did Brennan say; "Intel is not evidence".
Seems we need more action on one and less investigation of the other.

#2 "But for some inexplicable reason, the FBI insisted, and continues to insist that Danial [Morely] had nothing to do with the [Boston] marathon bombings - despite the ball bearings in his bedroom alongside a giant pressure-cooker, despite the top of a box for a six-quarts Fagor pressure-cooker, the same size and brand used in the marathon attacks, despite the fireworks flyers sent to his mother's house, and despite the connections to Tamerlan [Tsarnaev] mentioned by his mother."

I highly recommend McPhee's book. She has done an absolutely superb job in compiling a huge amount of information on the Boston marathon bombing.

Careful not to spook Salman by surveilling or detaining his older brother back in Albion. The focus of the operation is Libya. We're seasoned intelligence professionals. What could possibly go wrong ?
