Mr. Abdel-Hakim al-Hasidi is a Libyan rebel leader interviewed by the Telegraph.
He has fought “again the foreign invasion in Afghanistan” and was captured in Pakistan before being sent back to Libya. He is now storing arms at a safe zone in Chad. His Libyan Islamic Fighting Group was the second largest group of outsiders who fought in Iraq against “foreign invaders”. And he even recruited some men from Libya to fight against the coalition in Iraq.
Got all that?
Mr al-Hasidi insisted his fighters [those previously recruited for Iraq and now fighting with rebels in Libya] “are patriots and good Muslims, not terrorists,” but added that the “members of al-Qaeda are also good Muslims and are fighting against the invader”.
Who exactly is the invader he’s fighting now?
I’m beginning to think he’d had a lot easier time of accomplishing his goals by just shooting himself.
