Islamist flag often seen in Benghazi, Libya soon after the Libyan revolution of 2011.

Former Libyan Islamic Fighting Group member and rebel commander Abduljawad Bedeen also downplayed the presence of the black flags, telling Reuters that, "First of all, al-Qaeda doesn't even have an official flag. And just because they've used a similar one doesn't mean they have exclusive rights to it...If they were to send people here they would have a very, very weak presence...I don't think the Libyan people would accept it." Although the words of a former LIFG member could be dismissed as mere spin, Libya expert Ronald Bruce St John told me something similar last week. ––ADAM SERWER, "Continuing Anxiety Over Black Flags In The Middle East", November 8, 2011, MotherJones.com
