Much ado about nothing. They were supposedly affiliated with Al Qaeda, but they have consistently denied this as they took western cash to try to fight the Libyan Government. They have spoken against Al Qaeda fighting America/Britain before.
This is a group that was primarily focused on toppling Qaddafi. Al Qaeda could care less about Libya.
This is most likely a publicity stunt to get western funds to fight 'the good fight'. It's complete bullshit.
This ignores the real issues, which is the backdoor financial support from Saudi, Yemen, Syria, and other nations, as well as the popularity of Al Qaeda and it's ideals within much of the Arab world.
What saves a man is to take a step. Then another step.
