3/7 UPDATE: Fisk is reporting that America is attempting to supply the Libyan rebels with anti-tank rockets and ground-to-air missiles.
I am extremely intrigued by this news-item revealing the capture of covert MI6 officers by anti-Qaddafi forces near Benghazi.
The official UK government line states that the ‘diplomatic team’ experienced some ‘difficulties’ in their attempt to reach out to the Libyan opposition.
Uhmmm...Sure.
Care to explain what the group’s contact on the ground, another MI6 officer named Tom, was doing ‘working as an administrator’ for the PAST 5 MONTHS on the farm where they were caught?
It's quite plausible that the UK would send some undercover forces to secretly help the Libyan opposition. But did they play a greater role in the lead-up to the recent rebellion, seeing as they had some sort of clandestine presence for the past 5 months?
This leads a wider question on the overall role of the outside forces (read: West) in what is commonly perceived as a purely populist uprising throughout the Middle East.
BTW, this incident reminds me of the 2005 incident in Iraq where UK forces raided a local police station to free two British undercover agents, arrested for planting a car bomb.
Quite a bumbling lot, these MI6 lads.
British Intel Caught in Libya

Assalaam Alaikum brother Naeem,
Wow, that's really interesting! Thank you for sharing the new information.
I feel like I may have mentioned this video in a previous comment (please forgive me if it's been repeated), but the words in a 2003 lecture by Shaykh Imran Hosein come to mind when I think of what's going on in the Middle East.

Wa'Allahu A'lam.
AA-
Is that the Al-Jazeera deception video? If so, I found his words eerily prescient.
He has a more recent take on these recent events over at his website:

Walaikum Assalaam,
Yes, I believe the lecture is called Beyond 9/11. And I agree. I guess we just have to wait and see what happens as events further unfold.
Thank you for the link! I'll check out the update, Insha'Allah.
Good post Naeem.
I for one am highly suspicious of these uprisings. I think, as your post suggests, the "west" has a greater role in the events leading up to all this than meets the eye.
Imran Hosseins old lectures are incredibly accurate so far. I look forward to reading more from him.
Allah razı olsun
