BEIRUT, Lebanon, May 30 (UPI) -- The al-Qaida network is reportedly threatening terrorist attacks in Libya if it fails to release imprisoned followers, an Islamic Web site said Monday. | Threaten away, I'm sure the Q-man will give it the attention it deserves |
The site, monitored in Beirut, carried a statement signed by Abu Baraa al-Libi, presumed leader of al-Qaida in the North African Arab country.
"We salute the struggling Libyan people and inform you that our Jihadist operations will begin soon against the tyrant's forces in the city of Darna," the statement said. It also threatened to "cut off the heads of atheists" and vowed "not to settle for less than the release of our leaders and followers held in Libyan prisons."
The statement, which could not be authenticated, did not say how many al-Qaida followers were imprisoned in Libya. | Not enough, but I'm sure they'll be wotking on it. |
