A poster at Twitter with the handle @FreeBenghazi, who says she is not currently in Libya, has posted a series of tweets on a reported popular uprising tonight in Benghazi against Islamist militias.
The initial tweet, posted at 5:07 p.m. EDT, was accompanied with a screen grab of an Arab language news broadcast:
BREAKING "People of Benghazi have taken over headquarters of Ansar al-Shariyah & handed it over to army" #Libya pic.twitter.com/Pxnql4bO
She then tweeted another report with a screen grab showing a large group of men entering a building courtyard:
Benghazi youth have taken over Ansar Shariyah base & waiting for #Libya army to receive control of it. pic.twitter.com/8pNc7Ihz
She folllowed with a report from friends in Benghazi:
Friends in Benghazi are hearing loud explosions, they say it's Benghazi youth clashing with Ansar Al-shariyah #Libya
Her latest tweet says:
Benghazi youth have also stormed headquarters of other brigades : Draah Libya, Ahrar Libya, Raff Allah Alshata. #Libya #Revolution3.0
Pardon me for being cynical, but I think this is staged to mollify those in Congress who are seriously cutting off the foreign aid spigot (bipartisan, BTW).
Should be “seriously considering”
Very interesting.
Libyan Islamist militia Ansar al-Sharia was swept from its final major military base in Benghazi in the early hours of Saturday after a mass popular uprising in support of the government, Reuters witnesses said.

Asking if there are more updates available? Benghazi is close to the coast. Does it look like the students were armed by someone outside or rather a coastal landing party? These student didn’t take the compound unarmed one would think? Any news of whether or not the activity is spreading beyond Benghazi? Asking, and I will do some checking as well.
What to make of this news? When even good news I consider suspect, of more Obama/CIA meddling for orchestrated election advantage, speaks to my now clinically proportioned cynicism.
Completer subterfuge. I wonder how many millions of our money zero paid these lackeys to stage this obvious election commercial?
Maybe if there were hundreds of dead muzzys it would come close to believable. I suspect the mushy nimrods here at home will buy this garbage.
