FAKE NEWS for the Zionist agenda “The information we had on the threats was sufficiently reliable to justify telling our nationals to leave the region,” French Foreign Ministry spokesman Philippe Lalliot said on Friday.
Germany, the Netherlands and Australia also followed Britain in telling their national to leave Libya.
Libya’s Deputy Interior Minister Abdullah Massoud expressed his astonishment at UK’s move on Thursday, saying “nothing justifies” Britain’s warning of an imminent threat to Westerners in Benghazi.
The Libyan official also said on Friday that his country had not been informed of any plans to pull citizens out of Benghazi and was seeking clarification from Britain.
“If Britain was afraid of threats to its citizens, it could have pulled them out quietly without causing all the commotion and excitement,” Massud said.
Many believe that the so-called threat might be related to the French war on Mali, which has met strong opposition by many countries.
France launched a war on Mali on January 11 under the pretext of halting the advance of the fighters controlling the northern parts of the country.
The United States, Canada, Britain, Belgium, Germany, and Denmark have also said they would support the French war.
Benghazi acted as a launching pad for the uprising that ousted former Libyan dictator Muammar Gaddafi in 2011, and has witnessed many unfortunate incidents so far.
On September 11, 2012, clashes broke out at the US consulate in Benghazi killing four Americans including US Ambassador Christopher Stevens.
Earlier this month Italian Consul Guido De Sanctis’s bullet-proof car became the target of a failed gun attack in Benghazi. Italy temporarily shut its consulate in the eastern Libyan city “for security reasons.”
