They say it was the Americans who started shooting.<br />Mustafa Abushagur – Libya’s new prime minister – present during meeting<br />Mohamad Al Akari – the Libyan government spokesman - “We felt, we assumed, we suspected because of the increase in American drone flights over eastern Libya that the Obama administration may be pushed under the pressure of U.S. election politics to do something that would be a disaster for us and would undermine the U.S. position here in Libya,” Akari says. <br />Benghazi militias<br /> Al Qaeda – no evidence linking the terror group to the assault. Al Qaeda in the Land of the Islamic Maghreb praised Stevens’ killing but did not claim responsibility. They called last week’s death of U.S. Ambassador to Libya Chris Stevens a “gift.” The group urged Muslims in Algeria, Tunisia, Morocco, and Mauritania to launch attacks on American missions and diplomats to “purge our land of their filth in revenge for the honor of the Prophet.”<br /> Ansur al-Shari is not Al Qaeda and they did not attack. Some of their fighters did. Ansur al-Shari, whose leaders have claimed they did not order their fighters to attack the consulate, warned that Libya would turn into “an inferno for U.S. troops” if the U.S. military retaliated. Yousef Jehani, one of the group’s leaders, said they wanted to avoid confrontation but were ready for a showdown, if Washington acted “foolishly.” General Yousef Mangoush, the army chief of staff, met with Ansur al-Sharia leaders to get their side of the story but assured them they were not under imminent threat of attack. <br />Salafist militia - Libyan authorities also have been mounting an outreach campaign to other Salafist militias, urging them not to do anything rash. “We are saying to them, you saw what happened in Iraq and Afghanistan” says Akari. “Do you want the same thing to happen here?”<br /> http://www.thedailybeast.com/articles/2012/09/18/libya-s-inferno-u-s-and-libyan-officials-investigate-bengazhi-assault.html<br />Jo Ann Brownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02235312618114583832noreply@blogger.com
