  • Since the late 1990s, several members of the Libyan Islamic Fighting Group (a paramilitary Islamist group, considered a terrorist organization by the United Kingdom and the United States) had decided to leave the band, most of them joining other armed organizations. Since the late 1990s onwards and after the 9/11 attacks, hundreds of LIFG members joined the Al-Qaeda and Taliban ranks during the Afghanistan War. Between 2007 and 2011, incarcerated leaders of the LIFG held secretive talks with Libyan security officers with the mediation of Saif al-Islam Gaddafi (son of Libyan leader Muammar Gaddafi) and Libyan Islamist leader Ali al-Sallabi, which resulted in the publication of a document called "Corrective Studies" (viewed by the LIFG leaders as a "new code for jihad") and the release of around 300 LIFG imprisoned members, process that continued until February 2011 and the beginning of the Libyan Civil War. The following is a non-exhaustive list of former members of the Libyan Islamic Fighting Group: * Abdel-Hakim al-Hasidi - former LIFG leading member, former Abu Salim Martyrs Brigade commander, Islamist politician. * Abu Idris al-Libi - former senior LIFG member, Islamist politician and head of the national border guard in Southern Libya, brother of Abu Yahia al-Libi. * Abdel-Hakim al-Jiritli (a.k.a.
