The United Nations’ special delegate to Libya Martin Kobler was
“humiliated” by the Tripoli authorities on Saturday, Jan. 2nd, 2016 when his press conference was interrupted and told he needed permission to hold it at Tripoli’s Mitiga airport.
Libya Herald reported that Kobler was cut short at his separately organized press conference by the Tripoli administration’s Foreign Media Department head Jamal Zubia.
Kobler then promptly ended his press conference and left the hall at Mitiga airport heading straight to his waiting jet and flew out of Libya.
It is not clear exactly why Zubia decided to take such a course of action, but analysts felt that it was probably a reaction of frustration to Kobler’s decision not to hold a joint press conference with the General National Congress in Tripoli.
Martin Kobler is the one who tricked the Iranian residents of Camp Ashraf by photo shopping pictures of Camp Liberty then base of Americans in Iraq as a oasis. The residents were transferred to a ruin camp with a broken sewage system, deserted by Americans when US transferred power to Iraqis before 2011.

Munich, AFP, 1 January 2016 - German police lifted an alert of an imminent attack in Munich on Friday, hours after two key train stations were evacuated over fears that a New Year suicide bomb assault was being planned. 'Overall I would say that the situation for Munich is as it was before this threat of attack,' the southern city’s police chief Hubertus Andrae told journalists.
In a security update, Munich police also issued a statement saying that 'following investigations, there is currently no concrete risk of an attack' in the city.
Police had issued an alert late Thursday following a tip-off from a foreign intelligence service that suggested an assault was being planned for midnight.
Andrae said investigators had in hand names of 'half of the five to seven' suspects who were allegedly planning to blow themselves up at locations including Munich’s main rail hub and Passing station in the western part of the city.
'We have examined data relating to these names, but at the moment, we do not know if these names are correct, whether these people exist and where they are,' he said, adding that the suspects were allegedly from Iraq and Syria.
Andrae refuted speculation that the threat was a false alarm, saying that 'if there is such information, we have to act'.

The Iranian regime is setting the stage for a mass execution of a large number of Sunni political prisoners in the notorious Gohardasht (Rajai-Shahr) Prison in Karaj, north-west of Tehran.
In recent days many Sunni prisons in Hall 10 of Ward 4 of the prison have been moved to another hall, according to received reports by the Iranian resistance. The remaining prisoners in Hall 10 all have been condemned to death. At least 27 Sunni death-row political prisoners in Gohardasht (Rajai-Shahr) have had their sentences upheld by the regime’s Supreme Court.
They have been charged with a variety of bogus offences, including 'acting against national security,' 'propaganda against the state,' 'spreading corruption on earth,' and 'Moharabeh' (waging war against God). Many of these political prisoners were arrested by agents of the notorious Ministry of Intelligence and Security (MOIS) in Iran’s western Kurdistan Province after the 2009 nationwide uprising. Most had been held in solitary confinement and tortured for several months after their arrest with no access to a lawyer or their relatives.
The Sunni political prisoners in Gohardasht (Rajai-Shahr) last week published an open letter titled “the last cry.” In their letter the political prisoners declared: 'We would like to inform you that following a series of executions of Sunni youths in recent years, this time the Iranian regime intends to execute all the remaining death-row Sunni prisoners in Rajai-Shahr Prison.'
Their letter urged fellow Iranian Sunnis and religious leaders to join together to loudly condemn and prevent this 'historic crime.'
