#1 Now I am really confused.

Libya Dawn is supposedly a Moslem Brotherhood Islamic force. Some where in all of this I thought they were aligned with Ansar al Sharia in Benghazi since they went to war in Tripoli when Haftar and Operation Dignity or whatever went to war with Ansar al Sharia.

Ansar al Sharia, I thought, had pledged loyalty to ISIS and was part of the big move in Southern Libya by Islamists to take over the oil fields and refining capability of Libya to starve out the popularly elected government.

So now we have Fajr Libya/Libya Dawn taking pot shots at ISIS/Ansar al Sharia?

Sort of like Abbott and Costello's who's on first...

Can someone with some good intell straighten me out? I thought I had Libya figured out.

#2 I can give you a hint, Mystic. It's all tribal & blood lust---ideological differences are just an excuse.
