90 members of al-Qaeda-linked group freed from Libyan jail

Published: 04.09.08, 01:15 / Israel News

Libyan authorities released on Tuesday 90 members of an al-Qaeda-affiliate from a Tripoli prison after they denounced violence, a government-backed charity said.

 

The released were members of the Libyan Islamic Fighting Group which purportedly has links to the al-Qaeda terror network. The group has long been accused in Libya of plotting to overthrow the country's autocratic leader Moammar Gadhafi. ''All the released have denounced violence,'' Saleh Abdul-Salam, director of the Libyan charity organization, which mediated the release, said Tuesday. ''The foundation will help them in finding work and integrating better into society.''  (AP)
