Canada joined other nations Thursday in warning its citizens to get out of Benghazi, Libya, out of fear they could be targets of an imminent attack.

The foreign affairs department cited the earlier warning issued by Britain, Germany and the Netherlands of a “specific, imminent threat to Westerners” in the eastern Libyan city.

“There is a heightened risk of terrorism throughout Libya, including in Benghazi,” a department spokesperson said in an email. “Terrorist attacks could occur at any time and could target areas frequented by expatriates and foreign travellers. Canadians in Benghazi are urged to leave immediately.”

There are 262 Canadians listed in the department’s voluntary registry of citizens in Libya. Eighteen of those are in the Benghazi area. Canadian officials have been calling them to urge them to leave.

The European travel advisories, issued less than a week after the deadly hostage crisis in neighbouring Algeria, did not elaborate on the precise nature of the threat, nor was it clear how many expatriates might be affected, but they warned their citizens to leave Benghazi immediately.

  1. ‘There are 262 Canadians listed in the department’s voluntary registry of citizens in Libya.”

    I’d like to know what the ratio of Kuffar Canadians to Jewels of diversity is. What would a white racist bigot Canadian be stupid enough to be in Libya for? A Libyan /Canadian on a visit home ought to be bullet proof if not already an asset to Islam by having access to Canada.

  2. Most of those 262 listed as Canadians will be the hyphenated kind … and I will further say that most of them might have gone back to join rebel groups or are holidaying there with stolen weaponry and perhaps attending terrorist training camps to learn how to make bombs for putting to good use the knowledge learnt there, here in Canada on their return.
    Will CSIS have the smarts to interview these people on their return ?

  3. It look like the worry about North Africa being developed as a launching pad for attacks in Europe is playing out..
