Police in Libya too afarid to arrest cemetary vandals

So much for freedom and democracy getting established in any country that was contaminated by the 'Arab spring'. So who is really running the asylum in libya, egypt or any of the other muslim armpit countries were we have spilled blood and lost precious lives for what? So the local radicals can desecrate allied graves that fought and died for the future freedom of their country.

Maybe they could get obama, the first muslim illegal alien potus to go over there and BOW DOWN to the mullahs in charge, or better yet send the prehistoric, anti-Semitic jimmy 'the dhimmi' carter along with obama for the maximum show of weakness, appeasement and cowardice. I bet Cameron, Straw, and a bevy of other turncoats can found under some rocks at the local tar pit?

Libyan police too scared to arrest cemetery vandals despite capturing three who desecrated graves

Police in Libya captured three  members of an armed mob that  desecrated British war graves in Benghazi – but released them after a few hours because they were ‘too dangerous’.

The extremists, who admitted smashing the gravestones with sledgehammers, belong to an Islamist militia with links to  Al Qaeda.

During questioning, police were so nervous they made the men wear blindfolds so they would not be able to identify  their interrogators.

‘We had no option but to release them, even though they admitted criminal damage,’ a senior officer told The Mail on Sunday. 

‘We have no control over these men, they are too dangerous, they have more weapons. We have arrested members of this brigade in the past and their fellow fighters raided the police station to get them out.’

To worldwide outrage, this  newspaper revealed two weeks ago that 150 memorials were systematically overturned,  many of them shattered, while  a sandstone cross was smashed.

It happened at a cemetery outside Benghazi, the headquarters of anti-Gaddafi forces during last year’s  revolution.

Many of the servicemen buried there were members of the 7th Armoured Division, the Desert Rats, who helped turn the tide of the war in North Africa against Rommel’s forces between 1941 and 1943. 

This newspaper has discovered that those responsible are members of a Salifist sect called the Rafallah al-Sahaty Brigade that follows an ultra-purist interpretation of Islam.

Soldier Sanad Albeidi, who filmed the desecration, said:  ‘I realised they were from the Rafallah al-Sahaty.

'I knew it would be too dangerous to try to stop them. I thought they might be going to dig up some bodies so I filmed them to get evidence.  I posted my film on YouTube so the world could see the damage these men were doing, and the insult to British war heroes.’

The polish Carpathian Brigade was part of the Tobruk defenders.
