Libyan militants seek vengeance for Al-Qaeda leaders capture... Jihadists in Libya have launched an online campaign, calling for retaliation for Libys abduction and urge militants to kidnap US citizens and attack gas pipelines, ships and planes. The real Libyan hero rebels should kidnap an American in Libya to negotiate for our brother Ruqais release, says a Facebook comment cited by the New York Times, referring to Libys real name, Nazih Abdul-Hamed Nabih al-Ruqai. The NY Times also reports that almost immediately following the news of Libys capture a new Facebook page, called: We are all Nazih al-Ruqai, O America quickly gained 2,000 subscribers. Other messages called on Libyans to kidnap US citizens to exchange them for imprisoned militants. Libyans were also urged to damage pipelines exporting gas to Europe, and to target ships and planes.
