Parliament member of #Tripoli Al-Takbali: The Al-Sarraj militia executed the sons of the commander of the operations room Sobrata Major General Omar Abdel Jalil. https://t.co/xEmZ48Ayas
The man, identified as Imad al-Mansouri, had been sentenced to death for the November 11 attack during a live performance in Riyadh, which state media linked to militant group Al-Qaeda and which Madrid said left four performers wounded.
The assailant was accused of going on a stabbing spree during a musical in the capital’s King Abdullah Park, one of the venues hosting the two-month “Riyadh Season” entertainment festival.
It was the first such assault since the country began easing restrictions on entertainment.
The state-run Al-Ekhbariya television said the attacker took orders from an Al-Qaeda leader in Yemen, but so far there has been no claim of responsibility from the group.

"a live performance in Riyadh."
Things have changed! When I was in Riyadh (mid 90s), plays, theater, and movies were strictly forbidden. Period. Wow.

[ALMASDARNEWS] The Digital Media Center in Iraq revealed an increase in the number of accounts belonging to the so-called "Islamic State ...formerly ISIS or ISIL, depending on your preference. Before that they were al-Qaeda in Iraq, as shaped by Abu Musab Zarqawi. They're really very devout, committing every atrocity they can find in the Koran and inventing a few more. They fling Allah around with every other sentence, but to hear western pols talk they're not really Moslems.... " (ISIS/ISIS/IS/ISIS) and their supporters on social media platforms, especially Facebook.
The center said in a blurb that "this return came during the past months that accompanied the coronavirus (aka COVID19 or Chinese Plague) ...the twenty first century equivalent of bubonic plague, only instead of killing off a third of the population of Europe it kills 3.4 percent of those who notice they have it. It seems to be fond of the elderly, especially Iranian politicians and holy men... pandemic and led to a delay in the response of Facebook’s support to delete accounts."
"The members of ISIS and those who support them took advantage of the opportunity and started creating new accounts or reactivating old accounts, and they published and promoted their terrorist operations through the platform," they said
The Center warned users not to interact with these posts even if it was criticizing them through comments or sharing them, which leads to unintentionally free promotion.
They called on users to make "the necessary concerted efforts to counter the terrorist tide through extensive reporting of these accounts so that Facebook closes them."
