Gaddafi may have commissioned attack that killed 270 people 25 years ago, ex-Israeli security official tells Times of Israel, but Ahmed Jibril’s PFLP-GC carried it out, writes David Horovitz
December 19, 2013
Twenty-five years after Pan Am Flight 103 was blown up over Lockerbie, Scotland, with the loss of all 259 passengers and crew and 11 people on the ground, a former senior member of the Israeli security establishment said he was certain the bombing was carried out by Ahmed Jibril’s Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine-General Command. The Israeli source, who spoke to The Times of Israel on condition of anonymity, said Israel was “listening in” during the months prior to the December 21, 1988 bombing on preparations for what “we thought was a plan to target an Israeli plane” and that it was “clear that Jibril prepared the operation.” The comments came ahead of Saturday’s 25th anniversary of the worst terrorist attack ever carried out on British territory, and the worst terror attack on American civilians with the exception of 9/11.
The deputy of slain U.S. Ambassador Christopher Stevens has told congressional investigators that a team of Special Forces prepared to fly from Tripoli to Benghazi during the Sept. 11, 2012 attacks was forbidden from doing so by U.S. Special Operations Command South Africa.
Gregory Hicks told congressional investigators that if the U.S. had quickly sent a military aircraft over Benghazi, it might have saved American lives. The U.S. Souda Bay Naval Base is an hour's flight from Libya.

"I believe if we had been able to scramble a fighter or aircraft or two over Benghazi as quickly as possible after the attack commenced, I believe there would not have been a mortar attack on the annex in the morning because I believe the Libyans would have split. They would have been scared to death that we would have gotten a laser on them and killed them," Hicks testified. Two Americans died in the morning mortar attack. I think everybody in the mission thought it was a terrorist attack from the beginning.”
Gregory Hicks is one of the witnesses called to testify this week before the House Oversight Committee about the Sept. 11, 2012, attack that killed Ambassador J. Christopher Stevens and three other Americans.
US Depty Amb Greg Hicks: "Never as embarrassed"
Shortly after the attack, U.N. Ambassador Susan Rice characterized the assault as a spontaneous attack. The Obama administration later said it was an act of terror.
“Clearly, there was a political decision to say something different than what was reasonable to say,” House Oversight Committee Chairman Darrell Issa (R-Calif.) said on “Face The Nation.”
Obama waved-off rescue forces
It has been alleged that the Benghazi attack sprung out of complications with the White House and State Dept shipping arms from Khadaffi's arsenal to Islamist revolutionaries to conquer Syria. Pres. Barack Obama, campaigning for re-election at this time, attributed the attacks and concomitant Muslim protests in Egypt (which spread) to Muslim offense to the July 2012 published, "The Real Life of Muhammed" (aka "Innocence of Muslims") video, produced by Coptic Christian, Nakoula Basseley Nakoula.
The film criticized Egyptian authorities' unwillingness to protect Christians against Muslim intolerance,antagonism, and violence- and various Muslim shibboleths.
The Obama administration blamed the death of 4 Americans, including Chris Stevens, on the film's blaspheming Islam- and attempted to taboo criticizing Islamism, political Islam.
Christian filmaker, Sam Bacile, scapegoated by Obama
A national witch-hunt began to scapegoat the "Innocence" filmmaker, Nakoula Basseley Nakoula for the thought-crime of Islamphobia, which triggered the international Arab violent "protests." Federal prosecutors found grounds to charge Nakoula with lying regarding his role in the film and his use of the alias "Sam Bacile" and sentenced him to one year in prison and 4-years of supervised release.
Update May 8, 2013: Deputy Chief of US Mission to Libya Gregory Hicks testified to the congressional hearing on the Benghazi attack that the Administration's scapegoated "YouTube video" was, in actuality, "a non-event in Libya."
Following the September 11, 2012 Benghazi attack, Democracy Broadcasting reported about the media's subjectivity in failing to investigate Benghazi as political terrorism - which would challenge the campaigning Obama's tout that he had successfully eliminated Islamism as a threat to US interests by Obama's overseeing the military's killing of Usama bin-Laden.
On September 21st, former Democratic pollster and analyst Pat Caddell said, “I think we’re at the most dangerous time in our political history in terms of the balance of power in the role that the media plays in whether or not we maintain a free democracy.”
Caddell noted that while First Amendment protections were originally provided to the press so they would protect the liberty and freedom of the public from “organized governmental power,” they had clearly relinquished the role of impartial news providers. Nowhere was this more evident than during the tragic death of a U.S. ambassador in Libya that was covered up for nine days because the press and the administration did not want to admit it was a terrorist attack.
“We’ve had nine days of lies over what happened because they can’t dare say it’s a terrorist attack, and the press won’t push this,” said Caddell. “Yesterday there was not a single piece in The New York Times over the question of Libya. Twenty American embassies, yesterday, are under attack. None of that is on the national news. None of it is being pressed in the papers.” Read more.
The press' avoiding to challenge any of the several dubious aspects of this story- the gun-running, the terrorism, or the attempt to make taboo Islamophobia, criticism of Islam or Islamism, and advocate for new, national and international blasphemy laws- self-suppressed responsible challenges to Obama's re-election and contributed to our social climate of intolerance towards criticizing anything Islamic or Islamically motivated, such as the Boston Marathon bombings by Muslim-Americans.

The world condemns and delegitimizes Israel. Persians are sending warships... it feels like Purim has come early this year."
Only days after the West was shocked by video of Bengazi, Libyan attorney, Ms. Iman al-Obeidi, who, while trying to report having been gang-raped by Pres. Khadaffi's forces, was again kidnapped by wait-staff at the hotel working with Khadaffi secret-police- a new tale of horror emerges.

An 11-year old Jewish boy from B'nai Brak was raped and sadistically abused by four Palestinian men, ages 23-27, YNet news' Yoav Zitun reports.
Four Palestinians residing in Israel illegally have been arrested for allegedly raping and severely abusing an 11-year-old boy from central Israel several times. The four, aged 23-27, are also suspected of indecent acts.
The boy, complaining of stomach aches, eventually revealed his terrible secret to authorities: "They paid me 400 shekels to sleep with them, bought me presents I asked, and threatened me not to say anything, I was ashamed to talk about it."
The suspects were swiftly apprehended for fear they would flee to the territories.
Police suspect that the four, who were working at an event hall, promised the boy candy, presents and money and lured him into accompanying them to the building where they lived.
The four are also suspected of urinating on the victim, hitting him, putting out cigarettes on him, cutting him, and coercing him to use drugs.
It is also suspected they raped, beat and humiliated the boy several times over the past few weeks.
"This is reminiscent of the 'Clockwork Orange'," officer Guy Kalderon said in the court hearing. "These are horrific acts which I as an investigator have never encountered the likes of which in my 20 years in service." He added the police have evidence linking the suspects to the acts.
Libyan secret police lead rape-victim Iman al-Obeidi into custody
On Monday, March 28th, Syrian-American psychiatrist Dr. Wafa Sultan told Fox News' Bill O'Reilly how the Bengazi, Libyan attorney, Ms. Iman al-Obeidi, who reported being gang-raped by Pres. Kadaffi's forces - is at risk of her life under Islamic law. Islamic law (or Shariah) not only sanctions rape in marriage, but encourages rape in general, by requiring that a rape victim provide 4 witnesses, otherwise she will be accused of committing adultery, and she will be stoned to death.
Dr. Wafa Sultan, author,"A God Who Hates," cautions about Islam
Dr. Wafa Sultan wonders where is the feminist outrage against this barbaric practice in the 21st century? Brown University's Dr. Andrew Bostom details Islam's sanctioning of abuse of women, marital rape and pedophilic child-abuse in this article about her appearance on Fox News.
Responding to Wafa Sultan’s remarks, Mr. O’Reilly expressed his (uninformed) incredulity regarding the teaching, and example of Islam’s prophet:
O'Reilly: I find it hard to believe that the prophet Muhammad would preach a doctrine where any woman can be abused at any time by any Muslim man and be held not accountable.
And Wafa replied, appropriately: You need to get familiar with Muhammad’s life and how he treated women in his life…Don’t forget, Muhammad is the role model for every Muslim man.
Notwithstanding the predictable American Muslim Brotherhood taqiyya O’Reilly is likely to air in the coming days as a “fair and balanced” riposte to Wafa’s irrefragable presentation, some salient details merit review. Please read it all .
Dr. Sultan lays out the Islamic imperative toward political domination of every nation, exploiting intimidation of criticism and critics in this exclusive interview with DemoCast.TV from November 2009.
We were having breakfast in our hotel when the woman broke in and said she'd been picked up at a checkpoint in the city.
The woman was gagged by hand and taken away by minders
She claimed she had been held for two days, and that she had been raped and tortured.
The woman showed marks on her body which she said she had received as a result of beatings by the people who were holding her, Gaddafi supporters.
She showed marks on her legs and on her wrists, which she suggested came from handcuffs.
In a state of great distress, she said she had suffered this beating because she was from Benghazi, the city where the uprising began in the east of the country.
As journalists tried to speak to her, things got out of control and the police minders waded in, trying to physically shut her up and stop her talking.
Hers is not the voice they want heard in this country. In the commotion a gun was pointed towards the Sky News team in an attempt to stop them filming.
A team from CNN had their camera smashed in front of them.
After about 15 minutes the woman was dragged outside the hotel and put into a waiting car.
As I tried to get in the way, a minder put his hand over the woman's mouth to stop her talking.
She was driven away at speed and we have no idea where she was taken. Her story could not be immediately verified, but the scene provided glimpse of the atmosphere in the city.
Government officials initially said they knew nothing about this woman, although another official later added the woman's mental health would be assessed.
Now that you've seen the true ugly head of Arab press-handlers, imagine the gov't henchmen breaking the arms of domestic stringer journalists for international news agencies if they dare vary from any fabrication the Arab gov't wants to convince the world of. That's how what you've been told about Palestine has been shaped. (That Palestinian Arabs are a nation who's land is being occupied by Israelis- and Israel perpetrates atrocities conventionally, and that if only Israel would give them their own state & army & pull Jews away, then the Palestinians would stop slaughtering innocent Israeli children in their cradles and live happily alongside of Israel). Try to re-think everything you've been told that came out of Palestine (or the complict reporters hoteling in East Jerusalem) regarding the Palestinian - Israeli governments - and their roles - and how a State will be a panacea for the region and the world. In fact, it's just the opposite.
