Otsikko: Lybia and Al Qaeda

According to recent news reports, the rebels that are trying to topple Gaddafi have been infiltrated by Al Qaeda. Apparently, Al Qaeda unveiled its full Lybia wing in 2007 and for the last few years has been trying to topple Gaddafi.

Here is an interesting article of how complex the relationship between Al Qaeda and the Lybian people is, and how Gaddafi has tried to exterminate Al Qaeda in Lybia.

There are claims now that the USA and its NATO allies provided weapons to the rebels trying to topple Gaddafi. Since Al Qaeda infiltrated their ranks, Al Qaeda has syphoned off weapons to its own AQIM (al-Qaeda in the Islamic Maghreb). This is the North African army organized by Al Qaeda to topple North African governments, specifically Algeria, Lybia and Egypt. Among the weapons stolen is a cache of surface-to-air missiles.

If these claims are true, this could seriously jeopardize efforts to support regime change in Lybia because the end result might be not the democratic government that our western governments desire, but rather an extremist Islamic government controlled by Al Qaeda.
