Relevance of detailing the nature of one group which he once marched in a parade with?

[edit]

Here's quote in full context from the source:

On a June afternoon, Mr. Abu Khattala joined a column of as many as 200 pickup trucks mounted with artillery as they drove through downtown Benghazi under the black flags of militant Islam.

Some trucks came from outside Benghazi. Others bore the markings of the city’s major militias, the groups ostensibly allied with the government and effectively in control of the city. Among them were February 17, Libya Shield and the Supreme Security Committee.

Participants described the parade as a demonstration of their opposition to democracy, calling it a violation of their vision of Islamic law. The event was also the public debut of Ansar al-Shariah, a group of as many as 200 militants who, like Mr. Abu Khattala, had broken away from the other militias in protest of their support for elections.

I'm perplexed how this information turns Khattala into a commander of the 4th group mentioned, anymore than eating French bread makes you Napoleon so I've removed such speculation per WP:BLP. The source clearly says this group is merely one that happens to share a few of his views. The detailed information doesn't seem relevant here per WP:UNDUE, and might better serve to be placed in the existing article actually about Ansar al-Shariah if it isn't there already. -- Kendrick7talk 03:41, 15 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]
