Do these photos have any historic correlation / significance in view of the recent terror attack at Ariana Grande concert in Manchester UK last week that killed 22 and wounded dozens?

Or just coincidence that Obama sent Hillary to Libya at the time when "Manchester Fighetrs" from UK were also active there?

The February 17th Martyrs Brigade is an Islamist militia active in Libya. It is considered to be the largest and best armed militia in eastern Libya. The brigade is financed by the Libyan defense ministry.[1] The brigade consists of at least 12 battalions and possesses a large collection of light and heavy weapons in addition to training facilities. Its membership is estimated at between 1,500 and 3,500. The group has carried out various security and law and order tasks in eastern Libya and Kufra in the south.[1] (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/February_17th_Martyrs_Brigade#cite_note-BBC-1)

This brigade was called on for assistance by the US government during the 2012 Benghazi attack (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2012_Benghazi_attack).[2] (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/February_17th_Martyrs_Brigade#cite_note-13hours-2)

US Hired al-Qaida-Linked Group to Defend Benghazi Mission (http://www.newsmax.com/Newsfront/benghazi-consulate-protected-alqaida/2013/05/02/id/502565/)

The Libyan militia group that the State Department hired to defend its embattled diplomatic mission in Benghazi had clear al-Qaida sympathies, and had prominently displayed the al-Qaida flag on a Facebook page some months before the deadly attack.
That organization, the February 17th Martyrs Brigade, was paid by the U.S. government to provide security at the U.S. diplomatic mission in Benghazi, Libya. But there is no indication the Martyrs Brigade fulfilled its commitment to defend the mission on Sept. 11, when it came under attack.

Thanks for posting. I read that Manchester has several thousand ex-Libyans.
