Written question asked by Kenny MacAskill on Friday, 11 June 2021, in the House of Commons. It was due for an answer on Tuesday, 15 June 2021. It was answered by James Heappey (Conservative) on Thursday, 17 June 2021 on behalf of the Ministry of Defence.


Libya: Armed Conflict

Question

To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, what information the Government holds on which opposition Libyan opposition groups (a) Salman Abedi, (b) Khairi Saadallah and (c) Rachid Redouane fought for in the war in that country in 2011.

Answer

The Ministry of Defence is aware of the historic Libyan links of the three named individuals (Salman Abedi, Khairi Saadallah and Rachid Redouane). However, even from this distance in time, disclosure of our understanding of the various Libyan groups that these individuals were associated with, could undermine future intelligence analysis and operations being conducted in support of national security.
