Libya: Ansar Al-Sharia ‘leader’ caught in Sabri
2017-07-14
[Libya Herald] A Tunisian described by the Libyan National Army (LNA) as an Ansar al-Sharia
...a Salafist militia which claims it is not part of al-Qaeda, even though it works about the same and for the same ends. There are groups of the same name in Libyaand Yemen, with the Libyan versions currently most active. Tunisia's Shabaab al-Tawhid started out an Ansar al-Sharia and changed its name in early 2014. It still uses the old name now and then, probably because the stationery's not all used up and the web site hasn't expired yet...
terrorist leader has been found hiding in a building in Sidi Akribesh as troops combed the last Benghazi district that was held by holy warriors.

Abu al-Mundhir al-Tunisi, notable for a large tiger tattoo on his left shoulder, was reportedly captured without a fight.

Though the final concentration of murderous Moslems in a handful of buildings in this area of Sabri was overrun four days ago it is thought that other diehards have so far managed to elude searchers.
