This article has been checked against the following criteria for B-class status:
On a June afternoon, Mr. Abu Khattala joined a column of as many as 200 pickup trucks mounted with artillery as they drove through downtown Benghazi under the black flags of militant Islam.
Some trucks came from outside Benghazi. Others bore the markings of the city’s major militias, the groups ostensibly allied with the government and effectively in control of the city. Among them were February 17, Libya Shield and the Supreme Security Committee.
Participants described the parade as a demonstration of their opposition to democracy, calling it a violation of their vision of Islamic law. The event was also the public debut of Ansar al-Shariah, a group of as many as 200 militants who, like Mr. Abu Khattala, had broken away from the other militias in protest of their support for elections.
I'm perplexed how this information turns Khattala into a commander of the 4th group mentioned, anymore than eating
French bread makes you
Napoleon so I've removed such speculation per
WP:BLP. The source clearly says this group is merely one that happens to share a few of his views. The detailed information doesn't seem relevant here per
WP:UNDUE, and might better serve to be placed in the existing article actually about
Ansar al-Shariah if it isn't there already. --
