[Ennahar] The terrorist organization Al Qaeda in Islamic Maghreb (AQIM) has successfully seized anti-aircraft missiles from Libya in the throes of a civil war between the forces of Qadaffy and Libyan gunnies who demand the departure of Libyan leader Moammar Qadaffy.According to Chadian President Idris Deby, in an interview with the weekly "Jeune Afrique", to be published Monday, the terrorist organization Al Qaeda in Islamic Maghreb AQIM would have benefited from the popular uprising in Libya to take air missiles.
Deby expressed his concern about what is happening in Libya, according to the French Agency AFP, and fears that the terrorist organization would benefit from the presence of mercenaries in this region to seize heavy weapons and missiles hidden in the Central Sahara region.
| It appears that the headline is misleading, and it is merely assumed that AQIM must have helped themselves to goodies lying about, but this is not actually known. |
Deby, who was against foreign intervention in Libya, has denied the existence of Chadian mercenaries that would support pro-Qadaffy forces against jihad boys.
According to observers, the revolt against the Libyan regime will have negative consequences for neighboring countries, including Algeria. The terrorist organization, they say, will not hesitate to exploit the situation for the largest possible number of weapons to kill Algerians even at exorbitant prices as there are official parties (European countries) who fund paying ransoms to free their nationals among the hostages, kidnapped by Al Qaeda in Islamic Maghreb.
