FAKE NEWS for the Zionist agenda The Saraya Swehli militia has held a press conference repeating allegations that Nick Jones and his cameraman Gareth Montgomery Johnson are spies.
The team of two was taken along with two locals on February 22 in Tripoli.
The Militia commander told reporters that his men had found official Libyan documents as well as equipment used by the Israeli military among the possessions of Jones and Johnson.
Last year, Jones reported that he had found the materials in the compound belonging to Muammar Gaddafi’s son Mutasim after the fall of Tripoli. Jones was among the first reporters who gained access to the ravaged compound.
Meanwhile, the militiamen have also shown footage of the two detained journalists test-firing a gun. Jones had written on his Facebook page earlier that he fired the gun for “fun” and shared the photos on his page.
He also shared pictures of damaged tanks, downed airplanes and revolutionary fighters. The militia accuses Jones and Johnson of illegal entry, suspicious movements and taking photos. Such claims could apply to many foreign journalists who covered the Libyan conflict.
Reporters covering the conflict routinely entered the country without going through normal border procedures, collected documents found on the battlefield, and took pictures of themselves posing with weapons to keep as mementoes.
