Fearing God Not Gaddafi: Libya's New Mujahideen - TIME

Fearing God Not Gaddafi: Libya's New Mujahideen - TIME

Noon prayer at the Ajdabiyah checkpoint is ominous. Thick white rain clouds and the whipped yellow swirls of a sandstorm move across the face of the shrub-studded desert. But no one here is praying. The rumble of what many believe is an enemy warplane somewhere overhead mingles with the thunder of the impending rainstorm. The rebels shout to each other across a landscape littered with bullet casings and debris, then let loose with round after round of anti-aircraft fire. A fighter 100 feet away launches a surface-to-air missile at the invisible target above. Then as everyone waits for death or a distant boom, the rain starts to fall.
