Role in the Libyan civil war
In the 2011 Libyan civil war, Abdel Hamid was a commander of a Pro-Gaddafi brigade in Sirte.[2] There were reports that previously claimed he had been executed by his own men.[3] Two weeks after this event, Al Jazeera broadcast that Abdel had indeed been captured as he fought in the Battle of Sirte.[4]
gollark: I actually have a GT 710 around, since I needed a card which could do basic video output but didn't care very much about any actual gaming.
gollark: The GT 705 is Fermi, the 710/720 are Kepler, *some* 730s are Fermi and some are Kepler, and the GTX 745 to GTX 750 Ti are Maxwell.
gollark: The mix is very weird, actually.
gollark: Wikipedia says that the 700 series contains Fermi, Maxwell *and* Kepler.
gollark: No, actually.
