TRIPOLI - Islamist gunmen have stormed a military arms depot in Libya and a nearby port and seized numerous weapons and army vehicles after killing four soldiers, a security official said on Sunday.
The group also took several hostages, both soldiers and civilians, and is "threatening to execute them unless a siege by security forces is lifted" in Al-Baida, the official said, asking not to be named.
"This criminal gang assaulted an army weapons depot and seized 250 weapons, killed four soldiers and wounded 16 others" in the Wednesday operation in Derna, which lies east of Al-Baida and 1,300 kilometres from Tripoli.
"Army Colonel Adnan al-Nwisri joined them and provided them with a rocket-propelled grenade launcher, three pieces of anti-aircraft artillery and 70 Kalashnikov" assault rifles, the source said.

The vast area will become a schizophrenic Islamic caliphate.......and eventually Israel will be overrun and swept away by a rampaging tsunami wave like we saw in the earthquake videos.
Always follow the money. The radical Muzzies want that oil cash and the power it represents for themselves and their heathen cultish crusade in the worst way.
At least K'Daffy was siphoning off the top of the oil billions for himself, his family and his cronies.
We will pay beyond belief for Obama's agenda in this war....he wants the terrorist rebels to conquer and control.....is there any doubt about it?

The article's source is Middle East Online, and it is owned or backed at least in part by Iraqi billionaire-turned british cit Nadhmi Auchi. Auchi is one of Obama's buds along with syrian born Rezko. Kind of amusing that they are announcing the kickoff of Libya's Arab Spring.
Posted on April 23, 2008—in the midst of the US Presidential race—an article on Auchi’s Middle East Online website boasted of knocking six articles off of the Guardian and Observer websites. Bloggers began receiving Carter-Ruck letters demanding that allegedly defamatory comments be removed from their comments section. MEO displayed a sphinx-like image of Auchi. The caption: “Tracking even the search engines.”
It worked. When the November election came and went, the American public barely knew Rezko and knew Auchi even less. Obama won.

When Tony Rezko held a reception at his home for Iraqi-born billionaire Nadhmi Auchi on April 3, 2004, White House hopeful Barack Obama and his wife were also there, Stuart Levine testified just now at Rezko’s trial. Auchi is the man who provided Rezko a $3.5 million loan that Rezko did not disclose to the court — resulting in his January arrest.-— chicago sun times April 14, 2008
