    From Part 1 which details the close relations between British intelligence and the Islamist groups involved in regime change in Middle East and terror attacks in Britain.

    "In 2012, these same Islamist militias were shipped off to take part in the next US-sponsored regime-change operation in Syria, alongside offshoots of Al Qaeda. A recent BBC Panorama program “Jihadis You Pay For,” revealed that the funding of a multimillion-pound UK foreign aid project was being directed to jihadi opposition groups in Syria."

    "The British government and security forces worked closely with these organisations in Libya and Syria, and then allowed them to return “without hesitation,” helping to spawn a layer of British-born jihadis who have carried out terrorist attacks in Britain.
    Last April, the British government admitted in a written reply to an MP’s question that it “likely” had contacts with two Islamist groups, the LIFG and the 17 February Martyrs Brigade, to which the alleged attackers of the 2017 Manchester Arena and the London Bridge/Borough market belonged, and whose families fought for during the 2011 war in Libya."

    "The admission adds to the mounting evidence of how British intelligence and successive governments cultivated terror networks and protected these “assets” as part of their regime-change operations."

    Irrefutable evidence

    "Documents found in abandoned government offices in Tripoli after the 2011 NATO-led invasion of Libya included a letter from Sir Mark Allen, a senior officer in Britain’s spy agency MI6, to Libya’s intelligence chief, Musa Kusa, who switched sides and fled to Britain, showing that the CIA, with help from British intelligence, used Diego Garcia as a stopover for rendering Belhaj and his pregnant wife.

    In the letter dated March 2004, Allen congratulated Kusa on the “safe arrival” of Belhaj and added, “This was the least we could do for you and for Libya to demonstrate the remarkable relationship we have built over recent years.” He added that while the CIA had provided the aircraft for the rendition operation, “the intelligence … was British.”

    The same documents revealed that Britain’s SAS was involved in training the Khamis Brigade, commanded by one of Gaddafi’s sons and thought to have been behind some of the worst atrocities during the war to overthrow Gaddafi. Ninety of these killers were brought to Britain for instruction, before going back to Libya with Blair’s stamp of approval."
