The fall of Colonel Muammar Gaddafi might see the al-Qaeda affiliated Islamic terrorist groups filling up the void, US analysts have said.

Al Qaeda in the Islamic Maghreb (AQIM) that was branded by the US as a terrorist organisation in May 2010 has been operating from its base in Algeria, and has now extended its reach to the borders of Mauritania, Niger, Mali, Chad and Libya, Fox News reports.

Gaddafi had earlier not only provided intelligence on the terrorists' operations to the US, but has also publicly spoken out against them.

Branding the group members as 'bad Muslims', Gaddafi said: "The security forces found a mosque in al-Zawiya. In a mosque! Weapons, alcohol, and their corpses - all mixed up together."

Now that the Libyan dictator has gone into hiding, many analysts have raised concerns whether southern Libya will become a magnet for jihadist groups.

Michelle Bachmann and Newt Gingritch had also been expressing this concern knowing that there is and has been Al Qaeda presence in the eastern part of Libya and especially in the northeast.

[BikerJoe]

This was known a while ago. AQ involved in Libya and the Muslim Brotherhood in Egypt. Who are the people who think these events were Jeffersonian revolutions?

I present this map really only to point out the "Liquefied Gas Planet" icon in the lower left. Other than that it appears southern Libya is uninhabitable desert fitting for alqeada. Let them have it.

Why is it Bush’s fault???

[ohioWfan]

Bush had Gaddafi quaking in his boots after we toppled Saddam. You gotta twist and distort a lot to make this Libya mess Bush's fault.

Lefties do it well, though. Ask anyone in the MSM.....

[Crucial]

If all the oil is in southern Libya, then I agree.

[2harddrive]

We could be in Obama’s LIE-BYA for years to come!

[Cheetahcat]

“Why is it Bush’s fault???”

His great Religion and the “Compassionate” War he ran,they should all have been DEAD DEAD the first year! We here in America are infested with Muslims and everything else that crawls out there as well.

Is Palin in support of our actions in Libya?

[tsowellfan]

I don’t know. If she is that might explain her dip in the most recent polls.

[Calamari]

We are such dumb $h!ts.

[WPaCon]

I think she did, but I don’t want to say so, because if I’m mistaken, I will be jumped on and accused of having Palin Derangement Syndrome by some on here.
