JEDDAH: The commander of the east Libyan forces has accused Qatar and other countries of supporting terrorist organizations linked to Al-Qaeda in Libya.
Field Marshal Khalifa Haftar, leader of the Libyan National Army (LNA), said some other countries were also aiding terror outfits, but he did not name them.
Haftar said on Sunday that the LNA is monitoring foreign communities in Libya who, he said, entered the country because of lack of border control.
These communities are “supported by regional countries and terrorism-sponsoring countries,” he said, specifically naming Qatar.
He said these countries fund militias fighting on Libyan soil, according to local media sources close to Haftar, including Iwan Libya.

When I was in Benghazi at the time of Col. Ghaddafi’s murder one Libyan I met offered me the use of his Satellite phone. He said all calls world-wide are free, as a present from Qatar. Well, it seems Qatar continues its interference in Libya – or has even extended it. – Qatar relies on the US for its security and survival. Consequently I believe whatever it does it does with the permission, if not ‘by order’ of its protector the USA.
