Between 2007 and 2011, incarcerated leaders of the LIFG held secretive talks with Libyan security officers with the mediation of Saif al-Islam Gaddafi (son of Libyan leader Muammar Gaddafi) and Libyan Islamist leader Ali al-Sallabi, which resulted in the publication of a document called "Corrective Studies" (viewed by the LIFG leaders as a "new code for jihad") and the release of around 300 LIFG imprisoned members, process that continued until February 2011 and the beginning of the Libyan Civil War.
