Al Qaeda commander calls for Islamic rule in Libya
2011-03-14
A top Libyan al Qaeda commander has urged his countrymen to overthrow Col. Moammar GadhafiÂ’s regime and establish Islamic rule, expanding the terror networkÂ’s attempts to capitalize on the wave of unrest sweeping the region.

Abu Yahia al-Libi, al QaedaÂ’s Afghanistan commander, said in a video posted on a militant website that after the fall of the regimes in Tunisia and Egypt, it is now Col. GadhafiÂ’s turn, as rebel fighters there press a nearly month long campaign to oust him.

Those nation’s autocratic governments — enemies of Islamic militants — practiced “the worst kind of oppression” with the backing of the West and failed to heed the lessons of history, he said.

“Now it is the turn of Gadhafi after he made the people of Libya suffer for more than 40 years,” he said, adding that it would bring shame to the Libyan people if the strongman were allowed to die a peaceful death.
