Sri Lankan Muslims beat and stamp on effigy

Sri Lankan Muslims beat and stamp on an effigy of U.S. President Barack Obama during a protest rally against the allied forces' air strike in Libya, in Colombo, Sri Lanka, Friday, March 25, 2011. NATO's military staff is drawing up detailed plans to assume full control of the no-fly zone over Libya in coming days, after member nations agreed to take on the operation from a U.S.-led coalition.

Kudos for Eric Cantor of Virginia for speaking on this subject. We need more Eric Cantor's in Congress.

As a citizen of America, I will side with Cantor-----America has for a very long time supported the existence of Israel---going back to WWII.

A question for Mr. Obama, " Mr. Obama when the going gets tough whom will you side with?"

I think we know the answer and it isn't Israel.

Rebels admit links to al-Qa'ida

A KEY leader of the Libyan rebels has admitted that jihadists who fought against allied troops in Iraq are on the front lines of the battle against Muammar Gaddafi's regime.

In an interview with the Italian newspaper Il Sole 24 Ore, Abdel-Hakim al-Hasidi said that he had recruited "around 25" men from the Derna area in eastern Libya to fight against coalition troops in Iraq. Some of them, he said, "today are on the front lines in Adjabiya".

Mr al-Hasidi said he had fought against "the foreign invasion" in Afghanistan.

He insisted his fighters "are patriots and good Muslims, not terrorists", but added that the "members of al-Qa'ida are also good Muslims and are fighting against the invader".

Idriss Deby Itno, Chad's president, said yesterday that al-Qa'ida had pillaged military arsenals in the Libyan rebel zone and had acquired arms, "including surface-to-air missiles, which were then smuggled into their sanctuaries".

US and British government sources said Mr al-Hasidi was a member of the Libyan Islamic Fighting Group, or LIFG, which killed dozens of Libyan troops in attacks around Derna and Benghazi in 1995 and 1996.

Even though the LIFG is not part of al-Qa'ida, the US military's West Point academy has said the two share an "increasingly co-operative relationship". In 2007, documents captured by allied forces from the town of Sinjar, showed LIFG members made up the second largest cohort of foreign fighters in Iraq, after Saudi Arabia.

Earlier this month, al-Qa'ida called for supporters to back the Libyan rebellion, which it said would lead to the imposition of "the stage of Islam" in the country. (© Daily Telegraph, London)
