He was a tank driver in the Libyan Army in the 1980s, when the Central Intelligence Agency was spending billions to support religious militants trying to drive Soviet troops out of Afghanistan. Mr. Qumu moved to Afghanistan in the early 1990s, just as Osama bin Laden and other former mujahedeen were violently turning against their former benefactor, the United States.
He was captured in Pakistan after the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks, accused of being a member of the militant Libyan Islamic Fighting Group, and sent to Guantánamo -- in part because of information provided by Colonel Qaddafi's government.
" "He was known as one of the extremist commanders of the Afghan Arabs,' "
When that Guantánamo assessment was written, the United States was working closely with Colonel Qaddafi's intelligence service against terrorism. Now, the United States ... is backing with air power the rebels, including Mr. Qumu.

The revolt started in Benghazi in eastern Libya. A very important point not mentioned anywhere in the international media is the fact that due to geographic location, being one of the closest point to Europe from the African continent, Benghazi has over the past 15 years or so become the epicenter of African migration to Europe. The human trafficking industry, grew into a billion dollar a year industry in Benghazi. When the first demonstrations took place in Benghazi the loose coalition of terrorist cells and human trafficking gangs immediately took advantage of the turmoil to attack the high security prisons outside of Benghazi where their comrades were locked up.

In Iraq, during President Bush Jr., a policy that was called successful in defeating al Qaeda was to hire al Qaeda linked elements to disaffect away and help defeat Shiite militias. Seymour Hersh wrote of this in the New Yorker, and intimated that the CIA was behind heating up the sectarian violence in Iraq. Hersh explained there was such intentional confusion and factions within factions, that no one could possible tell where U.S. covert funds were winding up.

US payments to ... Afghan warlords threaten American/NATO troop s
According to separate Congressional and Senate reports, the American government pays more than $2 billion for Host Nation Trucking (HNT) or in layman's terms, private security firms that protect U.S. military convoys and materials in dangerous tribal areas.
A report titled "Warlord, Inc., Extortion and Corruption along the U.S. Supply Chain in Afghanistan" was published by Congressman John Tierney (D-MA) in June of last year. The report detailed the billions of dollars spent to protect U.S. military supply convoys in Afghanistan- the majority of the money is paid by the DOD through defense contractors and finds its way into the hands of Taliban leaders and warlords.
According to the comprehensive report, the principal private security subcontractors on the HNT contract are warlords, strongmen, commanders, and militia leaders who compete with the Afghan central government for power and authority in the region."

The CIA agent who shot two men in Pakistan city was discovered by Pakistani investigators to have telephone numbers of known al Qaeda linked insurgents.
"The expected additional information on the antecedents of CIA agent Raymond Davis, carrying a US diplomatic passport, has complicated the case of murder against him at a Lahore sessions court. His cell phone has revealed contacts with two ancillaries of al Qaeda in Pakistan, Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) and sectarian Lashkar-e-Jhangvi (LeJ), which has led to the public conclusion that he was behind terrorism committed against Pakistan's security personnel and its people.
This revelation is strengthened by the admission appearing in the hitherto self-gagged American press that he was a CIA "contractor' working "under cover'. The complication introduced into the Raymond Davis affair is that high functionaries in Punjab are now suggesting that he be tried in a military court. This will strike people as America in cahoots with the Taliban and al Qaeda against the state of Pakistan targeting, as one official opined, Pakistan's nuclear installations.

Raymond Davis: The plot thickens

One presumably cannot correctly understand the events and character of someone else's life except in the context of events, conditions and circumstances in the world around him or her.
From past history of Western imperialism, one might assume that ever since a handsome lowest rank officer Gadhafi overthrew the British installed King Idris (1969) and had Libya nationalize the "Free World's" oil, M16, CIA, and French secret service should have had a relatively easy time hatching plots for Gaddafi's assassination within the contentious tribal society of that half-Berber nation.
This just might perhaps explain the years of back and forth counter assassination episodes culminating, after decades, with President Reagan's bombing attempt to assassinate Gaddafi by missiles fired on his compound from planes off an aircraft carrier that killed a hundred Libyans, Gadhafi's daughter among them. The "community of nations' never has much of a problem with U.S. bombings. Conglomerate media of Western savage capitalist civilization went on blaming Gadhafi, and never President Reagan.
