Jihadists within the ranks of the Libyan rebels have announced their intentions to subvert the new government of Libya and create an Islamist state. The rebels have said that during the time period when a transitional government exists, jihadists should turn on secularist forces and members of Libya's National Transitional Council. The remarks have been gathered by intelligence agencies that have been monitoring internet chat rooms, though officials state that the veracity and ability of those advocating such actions is limited.
