Libyan Islamic Fighting Group and the UK

Saif al-Islam Gaddafi is the head of a pseudo-charity in Libya, called the Gaddafi Development Foundation, which says it is mediating a "reconciliation" between Tripoli and more than 1000 members of the Libyan Islamic Fighting Group who are now in Libyan prisons. After publicly recanting and foreswearing violence, they will be let out of prison. The story is being covered by two Arab newspapers in London (Ash-Sharq al-Awsat and al-Quds al-Arabi), whose reports are corroborated by one of the most senior al-Qa'ida mouthpieces in Londonistan. The UK is currently harbouring at least nine LIGF members:

GHUMA ABD’RABBAH, Birmingham
ABDULBASIT ABDULRAHIM, London and Birmingham
ABD AL-RAHMAN AL-FAQIH, Birmingham
FARAJ FARAJ HUSSEIN AL-SA’IDI, possibly Manchester
MAFTAH MOHAMED ELMABRUK, London
MOHAMMED BENHAMMEDI, Midlands somewhere
ABDELRAZAG ELSHARIF ELOSTA, London
ABDULBAQI MOHAMMED KHALED, Birmingham
TAHIR NASUF, Manchester

Those nine are all under worldwide embargo by the UN Security Council as known affiliates of al-Qa'ida. Without a doubt, Saif al-Islam has already told Brown and company what he wants done about those guys, and they will do their best to fulfill his wishes. Specifically, my guess is that Whitehall will start to play up the reconciliation and put on a show of regarding those guys as retroactively blameless.

Faraj al-Sa'idi has been convicted and sentenced in Italy. It is possible that he is the "AF" whom the UK recently released even while they conceal his identity from their own people. The release could well be part of London's secret arrangements with Tripoli.

At least two top-rung al-Qa'ida bosses are ex-LIFG: Abu Yahya al-Libi (Hassan Qaid) and Atiya Abdur-Rahman. Those people won't approve of the UK's collaboration with the Libyan regime on behalf of BP.

Update: I cannot yet definitely identify "AF". The UNSC Committee 1267 says this about Sa'idi:
