The Libyan Times was a Washington-based Libyan independent newspaper founded in Benghazi, Libya in 1967 by George S. Hishmeh.[1] The same name under which a news blog operates launching from the same city started working in 2006 by a group of Libyan computer and web development engineers led by Libyan Project Management Specialist Abdelsalam Eljaroshi.
The Libyan Times covered Libyan affairs and news events and was published in several English-speaking countries, of which United States, Canada, UK, and Australia.[2]
The blog was planned to operate starting on the date of its launch in mid-2006, but the publishing of international media mentioning of Libya was delayed until December of the same year.
