Like an editor said above some al qaeda are involved in the oposition to him no doubt some al qaeda members came from libya that is a fact but that is not the same as al qaeda being a full belligerent the uprising began Panorama had a full programme on it Fighting Gaddafi you should watch it when yellow hats police fired on unarmed ptoesters in Benghazi they fired at a human rights protest over a massacre of dissenters in 1996 then it escalated when authorities launched a crackdown 3 days of killing then though unarmed using benzine and bulldozers they beat the police and gaddafi soldiers gaddafi began to call them terrorists scum al qaeda if the U N hadn t intervened he would have wiped benghazi out get ready we are coming tonight to hunt for the scum etc and in the time since there has been no story that however it began since then al qaeda have assumed a significant full belligerent role there just is no RS material for that story you put al qaeda as a full belligerent because of good faith edits bloody hell those are probably Gaddafi ite edits ever thought of that
