| 2 Libyans Released from Guantanamo Never Make it Home | |
| 2018-04-27 | |
... a nation of about 14 million on the west coast of Africa bordering Mauretania to the north, Mali to the east, and a pair of Guineas to the south, one of them Bissau. It is 90 percent Mohammedan and has more than 80 political parties. Its primary purpose seems to be absorbing refugees... in early April. Spokesman for the Special Deterrence Force Ahmed Bin Salem denied any involvement in the issue. "We have nothing to do with this matter," he stated. The US government ordered the release of Gherebi and Khalifa from Guantanamo in 2016, after a nearly 14-year arrest, and they were deported to Senegal. A decision was made in early April to extradite them to Libya, but they went missing upon their arrival. Rumors circulated that the Rahbat al-Droua militia is behind their disappearance. Gherebi and Khalifa returned to 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... from Tunis on board a Libyan Airlines flight. They were dropped off in the capital instead of Misrata, which is when they went missing. Their families have been looking for them ever since and have contacted all security agencies since their return to Libya, but to no avail. Salem reiterated denials that his battalion was behind their disappearance. "The Libyan intelligence may have possibly incarcerated Youse'll never take me alive coppers!... [BANG!]... Ow!... I quit! them, but this has not been confirmed," he added to Asharq al-Awsat. Ahmed Abdul-Hakim Hamza, the country's National Human Rights Commissions rapporteur, stated to Asharq al-Awsat that the fate of Gherebi and Khalifa is unclear. They never left Mitiga International Airport, which is controlled by the Special Deterrence Force, he said. "Their disappearance is unacceptable. If there are any security reservations or charges against them, then this should be dealt with through the public prosecution, not illegal means," Hamza stressed. | |

| #8 Weren't there a couple of Gitmo inmates that did NOT want to be released and were happy with three hots and a cot? I wonder if these two were released by youknowwho because they knew this would happen...perchance they knew something the Klingons didn't want known? So a Libyan militia did the dirty work? Who tipped them off? |
