The source, who requested anonymity due to his sensitive position within the Guards, elaborated further that the Iranian military bases are located mostly along Libya’s borders with the African countries of Chad and Niger. From there, he said, the Guards actively smuggle arms and supply logistical assistance to rebellious groups in the African countries.
According to this source, Guards enter Libya under the guise of oil company employees. Most of these companies are under the control of the Revolutionary Guards.
The source, who is a colonel in the Guards, added that Gaddafi and his government are quite aware of these activities and have even signed joint contracts with those Iranian oil companies so that the the Guards can enter Libya without any trouble.
The colonel stated that with the current unrest in Libya, over 500 Guards have been unable to evacuate and are under orders to destroy all documents.
According to this source, the military collaborations between the Revolutionary Guards and the Gaddafi government date back to 2006.
It is important to note that Nigerian officials recently confiscated an Iranian arms shipment destined for Gambia. The weapons included mortars, rockets, and shells for anti-aircraft guns and were hidden in containers marked building materials. Nigerian officials have accused a suspected member of the Guards and a Nigerian of illegally importing arms and have set the trial for later this year.
Would that change if we found something in South America?
Thanks Ernest. There was at least one covert insert into the Libya desert, terrorist training camp, killed in their sleep. Supposedly. Supposebly. ;’)
There are some SAS Troops out in that area running around picking up Brits at oil Well Drilling locations...maybe they should make some extra stops.
They should make easy targets.
We here in the US do not object — why should the Lybians?
Ya, good thing Iran got those Girl Scout cookies through the canal last week...
The Iranians are the primary exporters of revolution at the moment, taking up the role the Cubans used to play for the same reasons if in hopes of different outcomes. It’s a ruinously expensive indulgence. So is a nuclear weapons program. We are blessed insofar as our enemies are fools; cursed insofar as we are.
What proof? Has any reputable news source confirmed this?
Until that happens, I consider this just hearsay and BS.
Waiting for a “reputable news source” to confirm things or events that are likely have little entertainment value will have to come at some politically opportune moment for some Dem politician...
[and 85-90% of the world's Muslims are Sunni, IOW, Shiites kill twice as many per capita]
