Commanders in the self-proclaimed army of renegade Libyan Gen. Khalifa Hifter have claimed credit for overnight airstrikes in the capital city of Tripoli, resolving the mystery of who was responsible.
Locals began reporting planes overhead and mysterious explosions late last night. The Hifter army, which has been launching a coup over the past months, has the support of much of Libya’s former air force.
Adding to the questions, however, Gen. Hifter himself claimed the attacks were part of a “joint operation” between his troops and the international community, aiming to target Islamist-leaning militias.
Hifter launched the coup in the name of ousting parliament, which he claimed was also dominated by Islamists. Several militias have gone to bat for parliament in resisting the coup, though they have also fought amongst themselves for important territory, bringing Libya into another complicated, multi-faceted civil war.
This is getting interesting.
another fine mess america has created for others to try and clean up
Hmm, until now the international community always meant USA and Europe Union and Canada (all NATO countries) as good behaving puppy. Now there is some NoName international community directed by CIA asset General Hilfer. This world is getting more and more complicated every day. Interesting fact is that former IC is not complaining this new use of their own moniker
What is happening in Libya is an attempt by certain countries to establish a military dictatorship"Egyptian style" or Al Sisi by using a washed megalomaniac individual.He was long stripped of his rank when he was captured in Chad in 1980s.There is not much air force left in Libya.
The so called international community that mr Hifter speaks of consists of Saudi Arabia,United Arab Emirates who are overwhelmingly financing his misadventure,and Egypt Sisi who assisting him militarily in the name of fighting terrorism as usual a red herring.These regimes have been working very hard to undermine the people will in many countries and fear very much that people in Arab countries choosing who should represent them through elections.Remember Algerian election,Palestinian election,and the Egyptian election .The news coverage of what's happening in Libya is not much different from the coverage of the Ukraine.
And the CIA?

This man is a very narcissistic character.While ago he was claiming to supportive of the democratic process only if the process brings groups that meet his and his gangs approval.The news here is framed in such a way to appeal to west distorted views by labeling opponents as extremist or Islamist.
Hifter is another Saddam Hussein. He obviously is a CIA operative. No one exiles in the U.S. near DC who was a former high ranking officer in an Arab military and then returns to their native country and is able to command an insurgency without the help of the CIA. Soooo obvious.
Turkish F-16s are the ones who conducted the raid and will continue to do that for several weeks. They all know that, but elected to point fingers to UAE and Egypt….and other countries instead. Turkey with the support of Qatar both have interest in keeping the situation in Libya as is and will air raid all sides to make sure nobody has the upper hand in the internal war going in Libya. Turkey has the air fueling capacity to refuel its F-16 back and forth to conduct the air raids. It has also been confirmed that the raids were conducted by F-16s coming from the Mediterranean sea and returned back in the same direction. Neither Spain, Italy or France has any F-16s of their own. The fact that Turkey is supplying the same parties it is now air raiding with arms through Sudan force those parties to point in other directions in order not to risk losing the arms supplies purchased by Turkey and Qatar that arrives via Sudan.
SO ENOUGH IS A ENOUGH… WE IN EGYPT Know it all, We Watch What Is Happening and Keep our mouth shut in order not to interfere in Libya's internal affairs. But if some of those Militants groups supported by Turkey will point fingers to us… WE HAVE RECORD OF EVERYTHING and We Can Make It Go PUBLIC !!!
