Rival Libyan militias clash near military base

Libya should be celebrating and rebuilding, instead they are fighting among themselves for power and control.

How typical can this be of an Islamic country, every Libyan with a gun is now a threat to restoring Libya to a normal country.

Rival militias clashed on the outskirts of the Libyan capital for a fourth day Sunday in the most sustained violence since the capture and killing of Moammar Gadhafi last month.

The fighting, which has killed at least six people since late last week, raised new concerns about the ability of Libya's transitional government to disarm thousands of fighters and restore order after an eight-month civil war.

Libya's interim leader, Mustafa Abdul-Jalil, said his National Transitional Council brought together elders from the feuding areas — the coastal city of Zawiya and the nearby tribal lands of Warshefana — over the weekend and that the dispute has been resolved. "I want to assure the Libyan people that everything is under control," he said Sunday.

However, as he spoke, fighting continued.
Heavy gunfire and explosions of rocket-propelled grenades were heard over hours Sunday in the area between the Warshefana lands, about 18 miles (30 kilometers) west of Tripoli, and Zawiya, another 10 miles (15 kilometers) to the west. White smoke rose into the air.

At one point, the two sides were battling for control of a major military camp of the ousted regime, said a fighter from Tripoli. The camp, once a base of elite forces commanded by one of Gadhafi's sons, Khamis, is located on a highway midway between Tripoli and Zawiya.

Detroit -- The alleged leader of the Hutaree militia, David Stone Sr., was a regular visitor to the home of Dexter-area militia activist Mark Koernke, a federal court hearing was told Wednesday.

At a bond appeal hearing, Stone's father, Ray Stone of Clayton, testified he has visited Koernke, 52, and his son David did several times since Koernke's release from prison in 2007. He served about six years for charges that included assaulting police.

Koernke was considered a leader of the militia movement and has hosted a "Mark from Michigan" radio show. He is also credited with the trilogy of "America in Peril" videos about the "New World Order" -- an alleged conspiracy involving international bankers, the United Nations and officials in the U.S. government.

Koernke, who did not immediately respond to a telephone message this morning, said in an Internet radio broadcast that militias would respond violently to the Hutaree arrests, Newsweek reported on April 2. But there has been no such reaction, and some militia members have taken credit for reporting the Hutaree's activities to the FBI.

Stone and eight alleged followers face seditious conspiracy and other charges in a federal grand jury indictment unsealed March 29, accused of plotting to kill police officers who Stone allegedly saw as members of a "brotherhood" aligned with the New World Order.

Rick Perry among governors receiving threat

Not to be Taken lightly , But this is Hilarious !



El Paso Times
Texas Gov. Rick Perry's office confirmed Friday that it received a threatening letter from an anti-government group calling for the removal of governors from office.

Perry spokeswoman Allison Castle confirmed a letter arrived from Guardians of the free Republics, a group that says it wants to "restore America" by peacefully dismantling parts of government.

The Texas Department of Public Safety is investigating, Castle said. She and the DPS wouldn't release any further details, such as when the letter arrived or what it said.

"We acknowledge that the governor's office did receive one of the letters, and we opened a criminal investigation," DPS spokesman Tom Vinger said. Perry's office was closed Friday for Good Friday, not because of security concerns, Castle said.

This week, dozens of governors across the country received letters saying if they don't leave office within three days they would be removed, according to federal documents obtained by The Associated Press. The FBI is warning local police that the anti-government group's call to remove governors from office could provoke violence, although investigators said they do not see threats of violence in the group's message.

The group on its Web site advertises a "Restore America Plan" that it says "is a bold achievable strategy for behind-the-scenes peaceful reconstruction of ... government without controversy, violence or civil war."

The FBI said it expects all 50 governors to eventually receive the
group's letters.
