The Libyan Islamic Fighting Group (LIFG) also known as Al-Jama’a al-Islamiyyah al-Muqatilah bi-Libya (Arabic: الجماعة الإسلامية المقاتلة بليبيا) is a group active in Libya which played a key role in deposing Colonel Muammar Gaddafi’s regime allying itself with the National Transitional Council.However the organisation has a troubled history being under pressure from Muammar Gaddafi and shortly after the 9–11 attacks LIFG was banned worldwide (as an affiliate of al-Qaeda) by the UN 1267 Committee.
