"NEW" LIBYA RELEASES 600 JIHADISTS FROM PRISON


A study by the Combatting Terrorism Center at West Point indicated that a disproportionately large number of young men from Libya entered Iraq to wage Jihad during the height of that conflict.

“Eastern Libya has traditionally been the primary center of the country’s Islamist opposition currents and where cells of young Islamist militants are located. It is also where scores of young Libyan men left to join the jihad in Iraq. Given that the regime is still struggling for survival and that Libya looks unlikely to return to any sort of normality soon, the issue of Islamism in a future Libyan scenario cannot be dismissed.”
