Twenty percent of the foreign fighters were from Libya, 50 percent of those from a single town in Libya, hugely important since prior statistics put that figure at three percent. It also helped to hone in on a figure of rising importance in al Qaeda, Abu Yahya al-Libi, a senior cleric in the Libyan Islamic fighting group.
20% stranih boraca je bilo iz Libije, 50% njih je iz istog grada u Libiji, vrlo važno s obzirom da prijašnja  statistika taj broj određuje na 3%. Također je pomoglo u  približavanju osobi rastuće važnosti u Al Qaedi,  Abu Yahya al-Libiju, starijem kleriku u libijskoj islamskoj borbenoj grupi.
