RELATED: NATO Gives Al-Qaeda Access to Deadly Weapons Stockpile

Comment: The spin here is that only African Gaddafi mercenaries are looting the weapons. In reality, terrorist rebel groups controlled by Al-Qaeda commanders control the major cities – they are the ones with direct access to the weapon stockpiles.

Libya must urgently secure weapons hoarded by the Gaddafi regime amid growing fears that smugglers are exploiting the chaos there to loot hundreds of portable missiles and other small arms, western officials have warned.

The US and Nato are pressing the National Transitional Council to make the issue a priority because of concerns that the trade has already begun, with reports that some African mercenaries who fought for Colonel Muammar Gaddafi are returning home laden with weapons.

One anxiety is that Gaddafi’s remaining stockpile of shoulder-launched missiles could end up in the hands of terrorists.

The UK’s National Security Council raised the issue with Libyan rebels in March and the Guardian understands that US officials based in Benghazi are now taking a lead in helping to identify where the caches may be, and how best to protect them. The UK and France have special forces in Libya, but officials would not be drawn on whether the soldiers are now involved in anti-smuggling operations.

  2. The game is in.

    Acording to the independent.ie, the European Union is giving a helping hand so AL QAEDA can be financed:

    Meanwhile, the European Union has lifted an assets freeze against 28 Libyan firms, including ports and banks, to provide funds to the rebel leadership

    Here we have a globalist [Kristalina Georgieva is a World Bank shill – See #Adds#] :

    At least 400,000 people in the Libyan capital need humanitarian assistance as Tripoli and other parts of the country continue to face fuel and water shortages as well as understaffed hospitals, Kristalina Georgieva, the European Union commissioner for international aid said today.

    Al Qaeda linked instutition demands money…:

    The rebel-backed National Transitional Council is expected to present a detailed list of requests at the Paris conference. It may seek short-term loans from the International Monetary Fund and the World Bank, US officials said.

    Possible this money amount you see below has to go first or partly through the World Bank (partner of the UN), like it was with an earlier “Peace”-action plan for Africa (info pdf-link not saved).

    Terrorist linked TNC is branded legitim and receives support from the EU..:
    On 22 May, Catherine Ashton opened a new EU office in the eastern Libyan city of Benghazi, in order to more effectively foster EU assistance, in coordination with Member States and other international organisations.
    During this visit, the HRVP also met with Mahmoud Jibril, Chair of the Transitional National Council (TNC), which the EU has recognised as a key political interlocutor in Libya.
    President Barroso also met with TNC Chair Mahmoud Jibril on 13 July. As the President said at that time, the Council needed to be seen as a genuine national movement with a clear commitment to national reconciliation and to an inclusive political transition – a transition that we have already begun to mobilise resources to support, in close cooperation with our
    international partners..

  3. Why would there be concern over the fact that al qaeda is acquiring these weapons? They ARE our allies now in Libya. Aren’t they?
