Libya: Benghazi Security Chief Assassinated

Libyan gunmen killed Benghazi's security chief Wednesday (November 21st) morning outside his house in the city's Sabri district, Libya Herald reported.

Colonel Faraj Mohammed Idris Drissi took charge of the Benghazi security directorate shortly after the deadly US consulate attack on September 11th, AFP reported. He occupied several leading posts during the Moamer Kadhafi regime before joining the revolutionaries.

Drissi was the 18th senior officer to be assassinated in Benghazi this year.

    We note that the rape of Lybia went beyond the Ghadaffi regime like the dagger they pushed up his rear. All Africans should beware and study the behaviour of those that live on the continent but do not like Africans. That would include Aflrican traitors who continually rape their country leaving the majority utterly destitute and open to the recolonisation of their land from all intruders.

    This is a warning to all ignoramuses who parade in the modern world as the monkeys the other races say the african imitates. In the face of what is happening in the world in regards to the threat from all the other races we have politicians lining the pockets of the enemies of Africa around the world in their central banks, weakening the very body (the poor)thats hould protect them and their countries.

    These are harsh words and are meant for all those Black people around the world and in Africa that continually hate on themselves by trying to imitate their enemy.

    Your time is at hand. you must remove your head from the snares that have been sert for you throughout the centuries. Time to stand tall and proud for what Afrika has given the world. It is soon time for the high to be brought low and and the low to be brought high.
