U.S. aiding al-Qaida dawn?
Establishment of Islamic state cannot be avoided
Libya is on the path to becoming an Islamic state, declared a leader of al-Qaida in the Gaza Strip.
“The establishing of the Islamic state, we cannot avoid this,” stated Abu Saqer, leader of Jihadiya Salafiya, which represents al-Qaida in the Gaza Strip.
Continued Saqer: “This is a fact that will happen. This is our goal, we are seeking from this. We know the goal of some of the rebel leaders in Iraq [who are] fighting as part of Jihadiya Salafiya and we believe this will happen at the end of the say in Libya and other parts of the Islamic world.”
This is not the first time al-Qaida pan Islamic ideology has been associated with the rebel leaders being aided by the U.S. and NATO forces in Libya.
At the start of the insurgency, rebel leader Abdel-Hakim al-Hasidi admitted in an interview with an Italian newspaper that some of his fighters were recruited from foreign countries, while others were on the front lines against coalition troops in Iraq and Afghanistan,
He insisted his fighters “are patriots and good Muslims, not terrorists,” but added that the “members of al-Qaida are also good Muslims and are fighting against the invader.”
And now… the rest of the story. …..
