120 Libyan prisoners escape from jail
Part of Gaddafi's legacy and his scorched Earth policy, release all of your undesirables from prison back out into the outside world and ship them off to Europe.
The Independent
Libya's Supreme Security Committee said 120 prisoners have escaped from jail in the capital city of Tripoli, where security guards are suspected of having accepted bribes to free them.
Spokesman Abdel-Moneim al-Hurr says only two of the 120 have been arrested since their escape yesterday. It is the second jailbreak in Tripoli this year.
Prisoners say that since Libya's uprising, some have been languishing in prisons without charge.
They also say the courts have not moved to hear their cases.
Mr Al-Hurr says no security guards were injured during the escape, leading him to suspect the guards may have received bribes to release the detainees.
The North African country has been reeling from a security breakdown and a weakened judiciary following last year's eight-month civil war.

Blasphemous video was a cover for Islamic violence
The blind sheikh who looks like something that has crawled out from the pit of hell
Foreword: A warning was issued by Al Qaeda and affiliated groups in Egypt prior to September 11th stating that the American Embassy in Cairo would be attacked unless the blind sheikh and other jihadi prisoners were released from prison.
The blasphemous video was then released on the 11th which then gave a pretext for all American Embassies around the World to be attacked, after the one in Cairo was first attacked which was already a target of Al Qaeda prior to the 11th for completely different reasons.
Al Qaeda have a well known Libyan wing who have been sending suicide bombers to Iraq over the years, and this group immediately followed suite obviously following orders from higher up the hierarchy, galvanising support on the ground under the guise of the video and then successfully storming the Embassy and assassinating the sitting American Ambassador Christopher Stevens.
The video that was released in Egypt, that was created by an Egyptian Coptic Christian living in America who has endangered the lives or all Coptic's in that Country was somehow timed perfectly to Al Qaeda's own timescale in Egypt and set the stage for a well orchestrated global response by fundamentalist jihadi elements throughout the Islamic World.
Al Qaeda said they were going to target the American Embassy in Cairo, the video was released so they attacked it under this pretense and the Islamic World followed suite under the guise of the video, while all along the leadership of Al Qaeda and affiliated groups were directing the proceedings from the beginning that now sees American Embassies around the World ransacked, burning and staff murdered.
How are things going to look when the violent protesting stops?
Al Qaeda might not control the Governments of Islamic Nations but they do control large numbers of moslems on the streets who are ideologically aligned to their religious philosophy as has been shown.

Jihadis Threaten to Burn U.S. Embassy in Cairo
by Raymond Ibrahim • Sep 10, 2012 at 3:58 pm
Jihadi groups in Egypt, including Islamic Jihad, the Sunni Group, and Al Gamaa Al Islamiyya have issued a statement threatening to burn the U.S. Embassy in Cairo to the ground. According to El Fagr, they are calling for the immediate release of the Islamic jihadis who are imprisonment and in detention centers in the U.S. including Guantanamo Bay: "The group, which consists of many members from al-Qaeda, called [especially] for the quick release of the jihadi [mujahid] sheikh, Omar Abdul Rahman [the "Blind Sheikh"], whom they described as a scholar and jihadi who sacrificed his life for the Egyptian Umma, who was ignored by the Mubarak regime, and [President] Morsi is refusing to intervene on his behalf and release him, despite promising that he would. The Islamic Group has threatened to burn the U.S. Embassy in Cairo with those in it, and taking hostage those who remain [alive], unless the Blind Sheikh is immediately released."
America was warned about the Security situation in Libya

Daily Mail
A Libyan security officer has claimed that he warned American diplomats about the possibility of violent unrest three days before the attack on the U.S. consulate which left the ambassador dead along with three others.
The country's president also says that the deadly raid in Benghazi was 'pre-planned' by Al Qaeda and other 'foreigners'.
Jamal Mabrouk, of the February 17th Brigade, told CNN that he and a battalion commander sat down with U.S. envoys to discuss the economy and security in the country, which has been going through a turbulent transition since the fall of Moammar Gaddafi last year.
According to Mabrouk, they told the diplomats that the precarious security situation was not beneficial for international business.
‘The situation is frightening, it scares us,’ Mabrouk said they told the U.S. officials. He would not say how they responded.
Mabrouk added that it was not the first time he has alerted foreigners to safety concerns in the face of the growing presence of armed jihadist groups in the Benghazi area.
Libyan President Mohammed el-Megarif, meanwhile, has said he believes the attackers are connected to Al Qaeda and used the protests at the consulate as a cover to attack on the anniversary of the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks.
In an interview with NPR, Megarif said foreigners have been infiltrating his country over the past few months, which has been undergoing major changes since the uprising against the late dictator Muammar al-Qaddafi.
'We firmly believe that this was a precalculated, preplanned attack that was carried out specifically to attack the U.S. Consulate,' Megarif told NPR.
On CBS' Face the Nation, Megarif said that 'a few' of those who joined in the attack were foreigners, who had entered Libya 'from different directions, some of them definitely from Mali and Algeria.'
'The others are affiliates and maybe sympathizers,' he added.
But Susan Rice, America's ambassador to the United Nations, told ABC's This Week she believed the assault was the result of ad-hoc protests and had not been planned in advance.
'Our current best assessment, based on the information that we have at present, is that, in fact, what this began as, it was a spontaneous – not a premeditated – response to what had transpired in Cairo,' she said.
Ms Rice added that protests in Egypt against an American-made anti-Muslim video provided the catalyst for the violence in Libya.
'We believe that folks in Benghazi, a small number of people came to... the consulate to replicate the sort of challenge that was posed in Cairo,' she said.
'And then as that unfolded, it seems to have been hijacked by some individual clusters of extremists who came with heavier weapons... And it then evolved from there.'
The disagreement between the U.S. and Libya over the origins of the brutal raid could add to the tensions between the West and the Muslim world in the wake of the ongoing protests around the globe.

Libya - Al Qaeda's North African front
Video: Gaddafi threatens to take the War to Europe
Last week saw the Islamic World using the blasphemous video of mohamed to protest anywhere in the World where there was enough moslem radicals on the ground to group together to attack Western Embassies, mainly American ones being the target though because American is the Great satan in the eyes of all Islamic fundamentalists around the World and the video was produced in America because of the First Amendment there.
Libya was the first Country to set the stage for the "fires of rage" when a group of Al Qaeda terrorists stormed the American Embassy and murdered the sitting Ambassador to the Country along with several of his security attache.
That strike against the heart of American interests around the World spurred on the jihad's Worldwide as can be viewed on our TV screens with many other Embassies around the World subsequently under attack, on fire and ransacked along with the black Al Qaeda flag then lifted up above them as a sign of conquest.
Al Qaeda's Libyan wing successfully assassinated the American Ambassador which was better than any car bomb or suicide attack that kills innocent local civilians. It was a successful targeted strike against America in North Africa and a perfect p.r coup for the group behind the attack.
This same group in Libya attempted to blow up the exact same Embassy a few weeks back so it is quite obvious that they have had their eyes on the American target for some time. Just like the Taliban recently attacking Camp Bastion targeting Prince Harry.
The recent blasphemous video was the perfect pretext to galvanise support in large enough numbers to attack the Embassy physically with the targeting of the Ambassador the primary goal. This successful attack along with the video footage of the events beamed around the World would inspire other jihadi groups to follow suite against American Embassies which they did, and all under the banner of the blasphemous video which shows the feeling out there and what they are capable of, with that religious hatred aimed in our direction.
Could you imagine those types of actions unfolding in Western or European Nations? Our belief system that is based on Centuries of our Christian history and heritage is a little more civil than the Islamic one and definitely worth upholding for the sake of future generations of our children and grandchildren.
The Libya attack was perfectly orchestrated and you can only wonder whether or not the Libyan wing of Al Qaeda were working to orders from further up the hierarchy to pull off the operation at that exact moment in time so as to create a cause and effect around the World.
Why Libya?
Didn't we not just liberate the Libyan people from a Tyrant and give the people Democracy?
How does an Islamic State where the over-all majority are moslem comprehend Western Democracy? (They cant)
Their Democracy is throw out the Tyrant who subdues them in the name of Democracy for the benefit of the eyes of the outside World and then instill the religious fundamentalists into power under the banner of Democracy exactly like Hamas in Gaza as the proxy war against Israel and more recently the moslem Brotherhood in Egypt which again will result in the proxy war against Israel among other things.
Democracy in action Islamic style!
Syria is next, along with all of the other Islamic Nations where an Arab spring has taken place and religious fundamentalism takes its foothold.
What are we left with?
A bunch of anti-Western, anti-Democratic Religious theocracies controlling the power of Nation State's who want to eventually unite as part of the Caliphate "ultimately" to destroy Christendom and then implement sharia law across the whole Earth exactly as their religious book tells them (ask a moslem who wont lie to you).
The signs of our times...
Only we are not running around with swords and shields on horseback. Look at all of that 'yellow cake' Gadaffi left behind before he departed the stage, and that is what we know about, what about the stocks we do not know about that are out there now in someones possession. This is reality.
Doesn't take much working out to see who that "someone" is when they have tried blowing up the American Embassy in Libya and have now successfully assassinated the Ambassador after taking over the embassy, destroying it and then lifting Al Qaead's black flag up.
Might not be an atrocity on the scale of the Kenyan terrorist attack in 1998 but the Kenyan attack killed 12 American's with the rest mainly local Kenyan's where as with this attack they took out target No.1 the American Ambassador, took over the Embassy and then lifted up their flag with no local casualties.
Perfect in their eyes.
Libya could become another war-zone with Coalition Forces stationed there just like in Afghanistan, either that or Libya is going to become a lawless pariah North African terrorist State with a veneer of respectability for the eyes of the masses via the TV with the leaders in the Country who control the leadership platform talking about Democracy and Freedom to satisfy their Western audience whilst on the ground there are heavily armed Islamic militia groups aligned to Al Qaeda staging terrorist attacks around the world along with being a training ground for Al Qaeda inspired terrorists. Jonathan Evans head of Britain's MI5 has already spoken out about Libya becoming a new training ground for Al Qaeda and this was before last weeks attack, so this confirms his words based upon his internal knowledge and sets the stage for future perceptions.
Libya is a transit route from Africa to Europe, and has been for many years now with at one time an estimated 1.5 million African's on Libya's border waiting to set sail for the European Babylon. Gaddafi even tried blackmailing the EU to the tune of 5 billion euros because of this situation, threatening to turn Europe black within a generation if the money was not paid. This route via Libya is a well worn path into Europe that has been trodden over the years by many African's who are now living in our Nations via this route. If Libya is a new training ground for Al Qaeda terrorists then how hard will it be to train a few African Islamic terrorists up in some dark hidden corner of Libya, from somewhere like Somalia, Nigeria or Mali and then send them off on a small boat towards Europe under the guise of being a refugee to land on dry ground and then set about recruiting to attack Western targets in our midst?
A new type of terrorist threat from North Africa with the Mediterranean basin the new front-line just like 1565.
Look what was achieved in Libya last week that reverberated around the World and will have long term future repercussions.
Al Qaead's Libya wing are well and truly on the strategic map now so look at the predicament Malta now finds herself in because cousin Gaddafi is no longer in power. There is a whole new reality under the surface in Libya with an Islamic terrorist army on the ground who are aligned with and inspired by Al Qaeda who are now sitting in control of Gaddafi's Government arms caches, not small shipments of weapons either, who want to harm and destroy Christendom as part of the global jihad that was started by Bin Laden that can be read through his online Fatwas to give you an understanding of the mindset and intent of today's global jihad.
Al Qaeda in Libya now have control over Government weapons stocks that Gaddafi kindly gave them before he left as part of his scorched Earth policy which gives everyone on this side of the table something to think about.
Take last weeks murder of the Ambassador as a sign of the new Libya irrespective of powerless politicians small talk of peace and prosperity in the new Libya, that's why the American's have sent warships into the region and the World is ablaze with anti-American Islamic rage on the back of the successful Libyan attack.
All eyes are now on Libya again post Gaddafi and what story does it tell?
One of the biggest threats coming out of post Gaddafi Libya is the proliferation of Surface to Air Missiles (SAM's) which has been talked about by the U.N.
What threat could Al Qaeda pose with a stash of SAM's?
Gaddafi knew his fate when he was being hunted like a fox by the Coalition so he opened up all his Government weapons stores for whoever wanted to take possession of them for when he was gone which not only included chemical weapons and small arms fire, but also missiles for shooting down planes.
So unlike any other Country other than Afghanistan and Iraq, Libya now has heavily armed terrorist groups on the ground aligned with Al Qaeda who have control of a large part of the Nations Government weapons stock pile which means there is a hidden army now in Libya capable of waging a 4th generation war just like in Afghanistan and Iraq.
The murder of Christopher Stevens in context is a clear sign of the new Libya and its future position in World affairs.

Spy drones over the Med
Daily Mail
Unmanned spy drones could patrol Britain’s shores looking for illegal immigrants and smugglers after a series of high-level meetings in Brussels, The Mail on Sunday has learned.
The European Commission aims to spend £260 million on its ‘Eurosur’ project, which includes a plan for surveillance drones to patrol the Mediterranean coast.
If the high-tech measures against terrorists, illegal immigrants and smugglers in the Mediterranean are successful, there would be pressure on the UK to follow suit.
Surveillance planes with military-grade cameras would be more effective at monitoring the coastline than satellites or standard planes.
British defence firms are testing sophisticated ‘sense and avoid’ systems on unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) over the Irish Sea and some experts believe European civilian airspace could soon see drones flying alongside other aircraft.

The Syrians are now on their way too
Syrian refugees are now on their way across the Mediterranean to reach the EU with a boat recently intercepted by Italy.
All of North Africa including the Countries where the Arab spring has just taken place, and many from other parts of Africa are using the Mediterranean as their spring board into Europe via Libya, and now they are heading from the Middle East into the same water.
Look at Lampadusa.

Upgraded American Embassy opened in Malta
Fox News
U.S. Opens New Embassy in Malta in Security Upgrade
VALLETTA, Malta -- The United States has moved its embassy in Malta from a cramped apartment on the outskirts of the capital city Valletta to a new $125 million state-of-the art complex in a rural area in the center of the island.
The move was intended for embassy officials to have bigger offices and a better working environment, but it was also deemed necessary for security purposes.
An embassy press statement at the inauguration last week said that since the 1999 enactment of the Secure Embassy Construction and Counter-terrorism Act, the U.S. State Department has moved 24,000 people to safer facilities.
This includes the new embassy in Ta' Qali, built on 10 acres of land away from the main road in Floriana, just outside the gateway to Valletta.

Al Qaeda's new training camps in Libya
Daily Mail
Terror threat to Britain from the Arab Spring: UK extremists travelling to Al Qaeda training camps says MI5 chief
The chaos caused by the Arab Spring has created new terrorist training camps for jihadis intent on attacking Britain, the head of MI5 warned last night.
In a rare public speech, Jonathan Evans said extremists were travelling from Britain to undergo instruction by Al Qaeda. It is understood the destinations include Libya, which is still in some turmoil after the British government helped to topple Colonel Gaddafi, and Syria.
Mr Evans, director general of the security service, said of the would-be jihadis: ‘Some will return to the UK and pose a threat here.
'This is a new and worrying development and could get worse as events unfold.
Several hundred Britons are understood to have gone abroad for jihadi training – with the Arab world taking over from Pakistan and Afghanistan as bases for Al Qaeda-linked groups. Security officials point to the fact the Arab Spring has led to the collapse of the security regime in countries such as Libya.
That has yet to be fully replaced and Al Qaeda has seized the opportunity to set up training camps.

The moslem brotherhood "Project"
Frontpage Magazine
One might be led to think that if international law enforcement authorities and Western intelligence agencies had discovered a twenty-year old document revealing a top-secret plan developed by the oldest Islamist organization with one of the most extensive terror networks in the world to launch a program of “cultural invasion” and eventual conquest of the West that virtually mirrors the tactics used by Islamists for more than two decades, that such news would scream from headlines published on the front pages and above the fold of the New York Times, Washington Post, London Times, Le Monde, Bild, and La Repubblica.
If that’s what you might think, you would be wrong.
In fact, such a document was recovered in a raid by Swiss authorities in November 2001, two months after the horror of 9/11. Since that time information about this document, known in counterterrorism circles as “The Project”, and discussion regarding its content has been limited to the top-secret world of Western intelligence communities. Only through the work of an intrepid Swiss journalist, Sylvain Besson of Le Temps, and his book published in October 2005 in France, La conquĂȘte de l'Occident: Le projet secret des Islamistes (The Conquest of the West: The Islamists' Secret Project), has information regarding The Project finally been made public. One Western official cited by Besson has described The Project as “a totalitarian ideology of infiltration which represents, in the end, the greatest danger for European societies.”
Now FrontPage readers will be the first to be able to read the complete English translation of The Project.
What Western intelligence authorities know about The Project begins with the raid of a luxurious villa in Campione, Switzerland on November 7, 2001. The target of the raid was Youssef Nada, director of the Al-Taqwa Bank of Lugano, who has had active association with the Muslim Brotherhood for more than 50 years and who admitted to being one of the organization’s international leaders. The Muslim Brotherhood, regarded as the oldest and one of the most important Islamist movements in the world, was founded by Hasan al-Banna in 1928 and dedicated to the credo, “Allah is our objective. The Prophet is our leader. Qur’an is our law. Jihad is our way. Dying in the way of Allah is our highest hope.”
The raid was conducted by Swiss law enforcement at the request of the White House in the initial crackdown on terrorist finances in the immediate aftermath of 9/11. US and Swiss investigators had been looking at Al-Taqwa’s involvement in money laundering and funding a wide range of Islamic terrorist groups, including Al-Qaeda, HAMAS (the Palestinian affiliate of the Muslim Brotherhood), the Algerian GIA, and the Tunisian Ennahdah.
Included in the documents seized during the raid of Nada’s Swiss villa was a 14-page plan written in Arabic and dated December 1, 1982, which outlines a 12-point strategy to “establish an Islamic government on earth” – identified as The Project. According to testimony given to Swiss authorities by Nada, the unsigned document was prepared by “Islamic researchers” associated with the Muslim Brotherhood.
What makes The Project so different from the standard “Death of America! Death to Israel!” and “Establish the global caliphate!” Islamist rhetoric is that it represents a flexible, multi-phased, long-term approach to the “cultural invasion” of the West. Calling for the utilization of various tactics, ranging from immigration, infiltration, surveillance, propaganda, protest, deception, political legitimacy and terrorism, The Project has served for more than two decades as the Muslim Brotherhood “master plan”. As can be seen in a number of examples throughout Europe – including the political recognition of parallel Islamist government organizations in Sweden, the recent “cartoon” jihad in Denmark, the Parisian car-burning intifada last November, and the 7/7 terrorist attacks in London – the plan outlined in The Project has been overwhelmingly successful.
Rather than focusing on terrorism as the sole method of group action, as is the case with Al-Qaeda, in perfect postmodern fashion the use of terror falls into a multiplicity of options available to progressively infiltrate, confront, and eventually establish Islamic domination over the West. The following tactics and techniques are among the many recommendations made in The Project:

U.S Embassy in Libya (Benghazi) attacked
Times of Malta
The US diplomatic mission in Libya’s main eastern city of Benghazi came under attack overnight and one person was wounded, officials said yesterday.
“There was an attack late last night on the United States office in Benghazi,” a US embassy official said, adding only the gate was damaged and that no one was hurt.
However, Libyan authorities later reported that a guard was “lightly wounded.”
The diplomat said a home-made bomb had been used in the attack on the office, set up after the 2011 uprising against Muammar Gaddafi and kept open to support the democratic transition.
“The US deplores the attack on its diplomatic mission in Benghazi,” he said, adding that a request had been made to Libyan authorities to step up security around US facilities in the country.
Mohammed al-Harizi, spokesman for the ruling National Transitional Council, condemned the bombing and said the authorities were investigating.
The US official said there was no claim of responsibility. But a security source in Benghazi said the attack was claimed by the Prisoner Omar Abdelrahman Group, which had left a letter “threatening American interests” in Libya.
The same group – which is named after an Egyptian sentenced to life in prison in the US – claimed a May 22 attack on the offices of the International Committee of the Red Cross, the security official said.
The latest attack comes on the heels of the death of Libyan Abu Yahya al-Libi, a master Al-Qaeda propagandist targeted by a US drone strike in Pakistan.
Deputy Interior Minister Unis al-Sharef said the attack could have been linked to the announcement of Mr al-Libi’s death.
