LIBYA RELEASES AL QAIDA INSURGENTS

CAIRO [MENL] -- Libya has released 60 Al Qaida-aligned insurgents in a gesture of reconciliation to the Islamic opposition.

Islamic sources said Libya has released 60 members of the Islamic Fighting Group, listed by the State Department as linked to Al Qaida. The sources said most of the insurgents had been sentenced in connection to the Islamic war against the regime of Col. Moammar Khaddafy in the 1990s.

"Those released were hard-core insurgents as well as facilitators," an Islamic source said. "The release came in batches over the last few weeks."

The sources said the insurgents had been imprisoned in a facility in Tripoli. They said the release was connected to Id Al Adha, when Muslim states normally release inmates.
