The Libyan faction which last year declared allegiance to ISIS has claimed credit for a high-profile attack on The Corinthia, a major Tripoli hotel popular with Westerners.
The gunmen stormed the luxury hotel on Tuesday morning, killing 10 people, including an American and a French citizen, and three other foreigners from as-yet-unidentified Asian nations.
The attack ended with an hour-long standoff with the guards in the city, in which two attackers were killed. It is unclear how many others managed to escape.
Exactly who was behind the attack and why remains a matter of considerable speculation, as Tripoli and much of Libya is under constant dispute between myriad different militant factions and self-proclaimed governments.
The so called claim is very much fake by a fake web site maintained and run by a certain intelligence service of a certain country that very hostile to the government operating from Tripoli and hell bent on seeing a military dictatorship take power in Libya as they have.The first claim came 17 hours before the attack took place.As in the past few months,there were many such reports attributed to so called ISIS branch which turned out to be outright lies.Other source of news which as usual ignored indicate that the attack was carried out by Qaddafi loyalists that now allied themselves with Ex-general Hafter.The target of the attack was the prime minister of Tripoli based government who was at the hotel at the time.The so called Libyan faction which last year declared allegiance to ISIS is way out in the East even if it even really existed.Because some one claims to be some entity and claims something does not mean it is true!
These are the figures:
5 foreign nationals killed,1 US citizen,2 women from the Philippines,1Frenchman.1 Korea.
2Libyans Policemen,and the 2 assailants.2 injured Libyan security .
Another Hillary success story?
