BBC using fabrications to implicate UAE in Tripoli attacks

Mohamed Youssri

The BBC criticizes states opposing the presence of the Muslim Brotherhood in them on every occasion.

This media outlet does its best also to curry favors with this Islamist organization, using all types of fabrications and lies.

This time, the BBC is assuming the role of a military investigation agency, judging military matters that need specialists to do this.

It also passes judgments in favor of terrorist militias affiliated to the Muslim Brotherhood.

In this, it violates all professional rules. It does this for the sake of backing the Tripoli-based Government of National Accord (GNA), which is backed by Turkey.

The BBC just wants to prove the militias affiliated to the GNA innocent as far as an attack on the students of the Military College in Tripoli is concerned.

Attacks on Emirates

The BBC ran a report recently, in which it criticized the United Arab Emirates. The report is based on a number of fabrications on the killing of 26 students of the Military College in Tripoli in January 2020.

It says the events mentioned in the report were investigated by the BBC bureau in Africa and the documents of the Arabic section of the British broadcaster.

It says the students of the Military College were attacked with an air-to-surface missile manufactured in China. The missile, it adds, was fired by a Wing Loong II drone, one of different types of drones owned by the UAE.

The fact, however, is that the United Arab Emirates is not the only country that owns these drones. China sells the same drone to many other countries.

Accusing Egypt

The report claims that Egypt allows the United Arab Emirates to use its military bases near the border with Libya with the aim of helping it launch strikes inside the North African state.

The BBC adds that the UAE uses the Sidi Barani base.

It notes that the same base was the destination of a large number of UAE military cargo planes in the past period, describing this as an UAE airlift.

In doing this, the BBC tries to draw links between Egypt and the United Arab Emirates, on one hand, and the attack on the Military College in Tripoli, on the other.
