All Britons were told today to immediately leave the Libyan city of Benghazi after a specific intelligence warning of a threat to Western targets.

The Foreign Office has been advising against travel to most of the country since last September, but has now stepped up its alert after receiving intelligence of a ‘specific and imminent threat’ – thought to involve possible kidnap and attacks on Westerners.

The warning comes just days after terrorists linked to the Blood Battalion of one-eyed jihadist and cigarette smuggler Mokhtar Belmokhtar kidnapped dozens of Western gas workers at the BP plant in Algeria – 37 died, including six Britons, after a shoot out with Algerian Special Forces – having crossed from Libya to carry out the attack.

  1. How’s the ‘Arab Spring’ working out for all of you Dhimmi politicals’ now, then, you clueless posturing fools?

    And, yes , I mean you Cameron, Hague, and all of the rest of the treasonous scum that have risen to the top of the heirarchy of the Euro/Anglosphere political cesspit, and whom would sell your own mothers into gender slavery if that is what it takes for you to hang in there with your heads forever in the public trough.

    Never have so few been betrayed so many for so little. You write with your own hands the record of the cultural death of our peoples and you write it bold upon the pages of history without shame or compassion.

    Damn you all.

  2. @JOHNJOE – The only ‘Britons’, ‘Germans’, Americans’, Australians’ etc likely to be there would be Libyan born arabs who have obtained foreign passports and subsequently moved back to Libya – for all sorts of spurious reasons. Like the Australian passport holders killed while fighting in Syria, the Canadian members of the Algerian terrorist group, ‘Britons’ killed fighting for the Taliban in Pakistan etc etc
