The imprisoned leaders of the Libyan Islamic Fighting Group (LIFG) wrote a 400-page refutation of militant thinking in 2009 in the latest in a series of rebuttals of Web-based al Qaeda propaganda by former apologists for bin Laden’s group. Published online, the document was the result of two years of reconciliation efforts between the government and top LIFG men in prison spearheaded by Saif al Islam, a reformist son of Libyan leader Muammar Gaddafi, and mediated by former LIFG member Noman Benotman. The six are among about 40 LIFG members believed to be still in prison following a series of releases of dozens of Islamists including LIFG members in recent years.
