Jihadists in Libya 'Avenging Drone Attacks'

The jihadist group that claimed responsibility for the failed attack on the U.S. Mission in leaflets left at the scene called itself the Imprisoned Omar Abdul Rahman Brigades. It promised more attacks against American interests.
It was first heard from late last month, when it claimed responsibility for an attack on a Red Cross office in Benghazi. A purported video of the attack was apparently posted on jihadist websites that regularly feature statements by al Qaeda. The video showed several rockets being fired into a building at night.
In claiming responsibility, the group stated, "We do not recognize (state) borders when we plan for our operations, and we have prepared a message that will soon reach America in response to polluting the clarity of the defiant city of Derna," according to a translation by Flashpoint Partners, which monitors jihadist websites.

  1. Shocking.
    I am shocked I tell you that there are A/Q affiliated Jihadists in Libya. :-)
    Syria will be Libya x 1000.

    Mr. Chaos is traveling and conquering the arc of crisis.

    Some wanted freedom.
    Others wanted regime change.

    As we have seen in the past. Regime change does not guarantee freedom.
