Anton Hammerl: At 10pm BST this evening we received devastating news regarding Anton Hammerl.
On 5 April 2011 Anton was shot by Gaddafi’s forces in an extremely remote location in the Libyan desert. According to eyewitnesses, his injuries were such that he could not have survived without medical attention.
Words are simply not enough to describe the unbelievable trauma the Hammerl family is going through.
From the moment Anton disappeared in Libya we have lived in hope as the Libyan officials assured us that they had Anton.
It is intolerably cruel that Gaddafi loyalists have known Anton’s fate all along and chose to cover it up.

RAF aircraft last night participated in a major NATO strike against Colonel Qadhafi’s navy, as part of Operation Unified Protector.
The RAF attack was mounted against the naval base at Al Khums, the nearest concentration of regime warships to the port of Misratah.
Colonel Qadhafi has repeatedly attempted to close the port of Misratah to humanitarian shipping.
As well as hitting two corvettes in the harbour, RAF Tornados successfully targeted a dockyard facility constructing fast inflatable boats.
Libyan forces have used fast inflatable boats several times in their efforts to mine Misratah and attack vessels in the area
The destruction of the facility and a significant stockpile of the boats will reduce the regime’s ability to sustain such tactics.

Photographer tells of desert ordeal
A Spanish photographer held for more than a month in Libya has said he saw UK-based photographer Anton Hammerl badly injured during a heavy firefight in the desert but does not know where he ended up.
Manuel Varela told reporters in Madrid that, after being arrested following the attack by Libyan forces in early April, he saw Mr Hammerl “pale and his guts were hanging out”.
Mr Varela provided the first details of how he and several colleagues had come under fire with rebel forces but said: “I don’t know where Anton ended up.”
Journalists released with Mr Varela said on Thursday that South African Mr Hammerl had been shot and left to die in the desert.
Mr Hammerl, 41, was initially reported to have been captured along with Mr Varela and Americans Clare Morgana Gillis and James Foley.

L’OTAN a arraisonné hier un pétrolier en route vers la Libye
L’OTAN, rapporte Reuters, a annoncé aujourd’hui l’arraisonnement la veille du MV Jupiter, un pétrolier dont la cargaison pouvait être destinée au gouvernement libyen. Elle a justifié cette opération en affirmant, par la voix d’une de ses porte-parole, Carmen Romero, que ses « forces navales peuvent intercepter les navires entrant ou quittant les ports libyens si elles disposent d’informations fiables donnant à penser que le navire ou sa cargaison servira à attaquer ou à menacer des civils, directement ou indirectement ».
Citant un responsable de l’Alliance qui a requis l’anonymat, l’Agence France presse rapporte, de son côté, que l’OTAN, après avoir inspecté le navire, avait déconseillé à son équipage de poursuivre jusqu’en Libye, lui assurant avoir des raisons de penser que sa cargaison serait destiné à un usage militaire.
Un responsable libyen avait affirmé à « Petroleum Economist » que le MV Jupiter avait quitté l’Italie et se rendait vers un port de l’ouest de la Libye contrôlé par le gouvernement libyen, avec une cargaison de 12.750 tonnes de pétrole. Selon cette publication spécialisée, il se trouvait à Malte lorsqu’il a été intercepté par les forces navales de l’OTAN.

Senegal President recognises Libya’s pro-democracy movement:
The decision by Senegalese President Abdoulaye Wade comes as a surprise for
many observers. Wade is known to be close to Libyan leader Muammar Gaddafi and has received him in Dakar many times.
A statement released by Wade’s Cabinet director late yesterday said that the Senegalese leader had consulted with a delegation for the revolutionaries in Senegal.
Habib Sy said that Wade recognized Mustafa Abdul-Jalil as chairman of Libya’s National Transitional Council.
He said the group is responsible for preparing “the establishment of republican institutions in Libya through democratic elections, free and transparent.�
The Council has so far been officially recognised by France, Qatar, Maldives, Italy, Kuwait, and Gambia.

U.S. to give Libyan rebels uniforms, tents, aid
WASHINGTON May 20 (Reuters) – The Pentagon said on Friday it has shipped Libyan rebels military food rations and will soon provide them with other forms of non-lethal aid including uniforms, tents and protective vests.
The United States and NATO allies including Britain and France are conducting air strikes that aim to stop Libyan leader Muammar Gaddafi from using military force against civilians.
But nearly two months after NATO took command of the mission, the conflict has reached a stalemate as rebel attempts to advance on Tripoli have stalled.
President Barack Obama, wary of being dragged more deeply into the conflict, has ruled out putting boots on the ground in Libya and instead hopes the combination of military and political pressure forces Gaddafi out.
His military advisers have also warned against providing lethal support to rebels that could fall into the hands of extremists.
The Pentagon said it had delivered 120,000 ready-to-eat meals that meet Muslim dietary restrictions. It was also delivering sandbags, barricade construction materials, personnel equipment and other non-lethal aid.
Colonel Dave Lapan said those materials would be delivered “in the coming weeks.” (Reporting by Phil Stewart and David Alexander; Editing by Xavier

This is the interesting bit:
Reporters who inspected some of the coast guard ships that had been hit in Tripoli saw small gunboats that Forgani said were used to patrol waters to curb illegal immigration to Europe. Although the patrol boats appeared to have missile launchers, he said those were a remnant from their prior use as navy ships and were not equipped with missiles.
Libyan governm. said warships were not used since March, but forgot to mention above facts (that now have been established by intern press.) rofl
It’s comedy hr at the Rixos again!
Forgani said that the NATO airstrikes had also hit a larger frigate-class navy ship, but reporters were not allowed to examine it.
And why not if I may ask? Your guess is as good as mine:)
This is what was referred too :)

NPR: Congress Leaves Without OK For #Libya Operation | n.pr/kY7n1X
Gadhafi’s Son Funds Iowa Film:
Two years ago, the Iowa Film Office was shut down when the state auditor found more than $25 million in tax credits weren’t issued properly. Governor Terry Branstad said he plans to re-open the Iowa Film Office, but now that’s in question because of new information on a movie that was shot in Des Moines a few years ago.
The movie is called “The Experiment” and boasts some pretty famous Hollywood stars. But the man behind the scenes is what all the fuss is about.
The son of Libyan leader Moammar Gadhafi funded the production of the movie. His name is Saadi Gadhafi, he’s currently the commander of Libyan special forces, and he’s played a big role in the current turmoil there.
Members of the Quad Cities Film Coalition say the movie doesn’t make Iowa look good.
“It’s blood money,” said Quad Cities Film Coalition member Doug Miller.
“You know where Libya is, you know who Mr. Gadhafi is, you know who his son is and so forth.”
Just as conflict started heating up in Libya, Saadi Gadhafi was investing millions in a production company called “Natural Selection.” And that company got Iowa film tax credits for shooting “The Experiment” in downtown Des Moines.
“I would think people would be outraged. I certainly am,” said Miller.
He said this is a blemish in Iowa’s film reputation and it boils down to one thing.
“Nobody was paying attention. Proper due diligence wasn’t done to investigate the entire production, who is involved with it.”
He said it’s going to take hard work for the Iowa film industry to come back from this.
“It’s going to take a long time to erase these problems, if ever.”

Libya crowd attacks bus carrying foreign journalists
Sat, May 21 10:34 AM EDT
TRIPOLI (Reuters) – Angry Libyans armed with guns and a knife stormed a bus carrying foreign journalists on Saturday and a soldier fired volleys of gunfire into the air to disperse the crowd, a Reuters journalist on the bus said.
The attack reflected Libyan anger at severe petrol shortages, a two-month-old NATO bombing campaign against Muammar Gaddafi’s government and state media reports that foreign journalists misrepresent the news.
The incident started when a hotel shuttle bus carrying a Reuters reporter and a journalist with Hong Kong-based Phoenix Television to the Tunisian border became snarled in a long line of motorists waiting for fuel at a petrol station in Zuwarah, west of the capital.
A crowd quickly formed and some stormed the bus after kicking in its doors. At least two were armed with pistols and one had a knife, said Reuters television producer Guy Desmond said.
A BBC support consultant on the bus, a government minder and a soldier managed to ward off the crowd taking blows in the process. The bus’ tires were slashed and a soldier fired into the air to push the crowd back.
“I have no doubt that these guys pretty much saved our lives,” Desmond said. The bus drove to a police station and the journalists later returned to the Tripoli hotel where foreign media are based.
Nobody was injured in the incident, which began at about noon local time.
Two photojournalists were killed last month after coming under fire in the besieged Libyan town of Misrata.
A South African freelance photographer missing since April is believed dead after being shot in the stomach and abandoned in the desert by pro-Gaddafi forces, his family said on Friday.

STONE SKY NEWS:
Driving through Tripoli passed a bombed out building. City is still busy. Shops open. People shopping. Gaddafi posters everywhere.
We know there is an anti-Gaddafi underground movement in Tripoli. But they’ve not yet found that momentum to move. Wind not yet behind them?
One thing that strikes me as we see bomb sites is the level of accuracy of the NATO weapons. Building hit, building metres away untouched.
Yesterday at the port, we saw small (50m) military boats destroyed, and yet the harbour which they were moored to undamaged.
Rights/wrongs of bombing aside, the precision of these weapons is striking. They maybe hitting the designated targets but r they legitimate?
We are now waiting on the bus that takes us everywhere with minders. We’re told there’s a press conference, but as usual, details are thin.
Just spent hour in bombed ‘Ministry of Oversight & Inspection’. Essentially, we are told, it is the Corruption Ministry.
We found the remains of what we believe was a JDAM bomb in the wreckage of the Ministry. t.co/PUmK82h http://t.co/v1E9szW
The building next door, to which we were not given access, is said to be an intelligence facility. Here’s a photo: t.co/at7d486

STONE SKY NEWS:
he only obvious sign of tension in Tripoli is the fuel shortages. NATO stopped tanker from docking 2 days ago – said fuel was for military.
The concern though is that stopping fuel from entering will frustrate the population more. Gaddafi will use it to his advantage
And although NATO says fuel tanker was for military use, how can they prove that? It was petrol, not diesel. (But mili have used civi cars.)

By the way Gaddafi tried to blow up the media centre in Benghazi today using an explosive device, I’ll tweet details later
RRowleyTucson Robert Rowley
#Benghazi: #Gaddafi trash today attempted and failed to bomb the media center.
CIL:
Benghazi: At around 2pm, security asked the Benghazi media centre employees to evacuate the building. They said that there was a large bomb
Benghazi: The bomb was in the basement of the media centre and could have been enough to destroy or damage the building
Benghazi: Security and bomb disposal units were able to defuse and destroy the bomb and then a group of commandos searched the building
Benghazi: The commandos searched all media centre employees using sniffer dogs and the group responsible for the attempt was caught
Benghazi: This group is suspected of being Gaddafi spies, called Gaddafi’s “5th column” after Libyan State TV prmised a “surprise” yesterday
Benghazi: The media centre is safe now and Gaddafi’s 5th column were caught. This is via an eyewitness from the centre on Facebook. #libya
I can’t confirm the previous tweets but maybe someone else in Benghazi can shed more light. The FB source is usually trustworthy.
More and more desperate attempts by Gaddafi to cause problems in Benghazi. Too bad the people he hires are complete idiots. :))))

#AP: #NATO Jets bombed command centers near #Tripoli and in Libya’s southwest as part of a continuing effort to cut communications links between Gaddafi and his units on the battlefields.

Bus was attacked because someone outside spotted a journo taking photo which isn’t allowed. This story has been mis-reported.
#Tripoli call: “Spoke to one Navy General, He said the night the Navy base got bombed by Nato, The Navy Soldiers were all celebrating from joy, crying and clapping from joy.

FF are watching #Muammar’s men closely. There are enough mercenaries at Alghezaia raping the city out of breath! #Libya #JabalNafusa #feb17
One report is about a young woman raped in front of her father while he watches helplessly!
Alghezaia thought if they stayed out of #feb17 that they would be left alone…They were wrong #Muammar’s doesn’t leave anyone alone!
Alghezia north west of #Nalut is where #Muammar’s forces are currently gathered and have been for over a month.
Another report is about 2 women stripped of their clothing, managed to escape to #Tunisia, Who I thank so much for taking care of them!!
Also another report about 6 men who were also stripped of their clothing managed as well 2 escape #
There are reports and reports and reports!!
Also & this is the last one I’m tweeting. Women are being forced on top of tanks (completely uncovered).
Now these reports I can not confirm myself, but will definitely I will look into them. Hopefully #gaddaficrimes will get some attention.
One more tweet about Alghezaia, Mercenaries are now in charge and are forcing Libyans to the front lines to fight FF

Tripoli update: People are expecting strikes on Mutassim and Aysha Gaddafi’s houses in Tripoli (AlHani district and AlDul street)
Tripoli update: NATO has been warning Gaddafi’s military for 3 days nw and the houses which usually have heavy security are abandoned #libya
Tripoli update: The neighbours were not warned by Gaddafi’s soldiers even though NATO’s warnings are to ensure just that
Tripoli update: Only reason the neighbours know about the imminent strikes is because of whispers/leaks. Gaddafi soldiers want civs to die.
Tripoli update: Source says that a high ranking mil official confirmed to him that a big fight erupted in Bab Al Aziziya 2 days ago
Tripoli update: The fight was between Gaddafi forces and security within the compound. Ths is a similar incident to 6 weeks ago or so #libya
Tripoli update: The clashes inside Bab Al Aizizya were the reason for the Benghazi rumour (pro-gaddafi demos), to distract media
Tripoli update: Tripoli, a city that usually sleeps at 3am, grinds to a halt at 8pm nowadays. This is definitely not normal
Tripoli update: However, the source says that people in Tripoli understand that media can only report what they see. Unfortunately
Tripoli update: Source also says that there are checkpoints all over town and that there is gunfire every single night without exception
He confirms the shooting did not involve activists but was rather an internal affair!
Tripoli update: Attacks on checkpoints and Gaddafi forces are increasing daily and they are very scared/worried.

Prior to the Gaddafi navy ships being hit by NATO,there were plans to use these to send troops 2 Misrata as well as Benghazi
Heavy talk on the streets of Tripoli of annoyance that reporters are reporting Tripoli as ‘normal’
This in light of very recent reports by SKY and BBC suggesting “Tripoli is normal”
There is suggestion that NATO might have received intelligence thus attacking his navy.He confirms that this plan is no longer in operation.
‘’Reporters can only report what they see. Quite rightly, Tripoli currently does not appear to be a city at war’
But suggestion of ‘normality’ must be qualified. Normality is relative.
To know what the norm is for Tripoli you must have a baseline based on a pre-uprising assessment.
Reporters should note that in Tripoli, shops normally close at 2 or 3 am in main shopping districts
Ben Ashour is known at times to ‘never sleep’. Now shops close soon after Mughreb prayer.
‘’Reporters should also take note that whilst shops are indeed open, 70% are closed’’
‘’Of those which are open, some have been harassed to open’’
‘’some open because it is their only lifeline and can not afford to join the boycott, some are loyalists’’

#TRIPOLI #LIBYA UPDATE – 21st May 2011 1-
Reliable reports that Ayshas house and Muatisms house in Tripoli, Al Hani District and Al Dul Street respectively, will be bombed. Loop warnings to military over past 3 days.
Security, usually plentiful at the gates, have now entirely disappeared. Local petrol station has now closed. Neighbours have NOT been officially informed but have been informed via leaks! If indeed the targets are hit, the regime knew about it in advance, and neighbours were not informed, is this a war crime / crime against humanity?
2-
Have personally spoken to a high ranking military official today who has informed me that 2 nights ago there was a fire fight between security forces within the compound of Bab Alazaziyah. Very similar to a previous incidents some 6 weeks ago or more. Exact response to the clash – immediate instigation of Benghazi rumour on State TV and orders to celebrate. He confirms the shooting did not involve activists but was rather an internal affair!
3-
Spoke to a second military officer this afternoon who came to find me to pass on the info that there is news between his ranks that a plan was being finalised to send troops by sea to Misrata and Benghazi. This was before the hit on the navy facilities. There is suggestion that NATO might have received intelligence and therefore attacked the navy. He confirms that this plan is no longer in operation.
4-
Heavy talk on the streets of Tripoli of annoyance that reporters are reporting Tripoli as ‘normal’. This in light of very recent reports by SKY and BBC suggesting “Tripoli is normal”.
This was discussed at our meeting today and the consensus of our group is:
Reporters can only report what they say. Quite rightly, Tripoli currently does not appear to be a city at war. But suggestion of ‘normality’ must be qualified. Normality is relative. To know what the norm is for Tripoli you must have a baseline based on a pre-uprising assessment.
Reporters should note that in Tripoli, shops normally close at 2 or 3 am in main shopping districts. Ben Ashour is known at times to ‘never sleep’. Now shops close soon after Mughreb prayer.
Reporters should also take note that whilst shops are indeed open, 70% are closed. Of those which are open, some have been harassed to open (our family shop included – story below), some open because it is their only lifeline and can not afford to join the boycott, some are loyalists, some open as an excuse to gather (including key shops where activist meetings take place in key districts).
Reporters should also note that the university (huge) is borderline empty! That schools are borderline empty. It is the middle of term time. My nieces and nephews and young cousins have not gone to school for months. They are not the exception to the rule.
There are checkpoints all over town which intensify in number and in paranoia after dark.
There is gunfire every night without exception.
So whilst the consensus is that reporters are forgiven for reporting normality, to those of us that know ‘normal Tripoli’, it is far from accurate.
Everyone, however, understands the difficulty and restrictions the media are under.
5-
The story of our family shop.
As part of wide spread boycott, our shop decided to close after 17th Feb. We were approached, like many along our row, and asked why we were closed. When we responded that it was fear from the instability we were ordered to open in the next 24 hours. When the security men returned 2 days later they asked why we had still not opened. We replied that there was a staff shortage. They told us, in no uncertain terms, to open even if ‘the shop is empty and you sell nothing’. We were told that the shop MUST NOT remain closed under any circumstances. For a while our shop opened. When i realised this i approached the family members who make the decisions and said that it was unacceptable that we open our own shop whilst i go around preaching a city wide boycott. I was told that recently we had been approached by security men and told, ‘thank you for opening up and showing your loyalty to your country, of course if you decide to close again we will take the shop and open it for you. Have a good day’. This is not a unique conversation. This will have happened thousands of times over in tripoli.
My reply was that we should continue to give excuses to buy time but ultimately MUST close our shop. If they confiscate our shop then so be it. We are fighting to liberate a nation….with it we will liberate our shop.
Our shop now remains closed.
Many people around Tripoli find themselves in similar dilemmas. Some have not got the conviction to carry through with a boycott. Others cannot financially afford to. Many are overcome by the harassment. And yet still…..the majority of shops in Tripoli are shut!
Fashloum, Ben ashour and Zaweeyat al Dahmani form a kind of shopping triangle district. In these 3 areas 80% of shops are shut. If anyone wants video evidence i can provide it, along with google map images to show where the streets are.
6-
There continue to be increasing, daily, armed attacks in Tripoli. Armed attacks in the past few days that i can CONFIRM are Soug al Jomaa and Al Hadba.

Besides his foreign mercenaries #Gaddafi has recruited RCM members more than his army in his war against Libyan people.
Revolutionary Committees Movement (RCM) members are between 300,000 to 500,000 members acc to Libyan Gov.
The main objectives of RCM 1. To incite the masses to exercise their loyalties to the brother leader
2. To strengthen the brother leader views on how Libyan should live their lives.
3. To practice revolutionary control over the whole Libya.
4. To gather as much as possible stupid people in Popular Congresses to worship our brother leader.
5. To threaten the Popular Committees and its delegates in Libya and abroad
6. To protect, defend the brother leader and to everlasting his propaganda.
7. To eradicate any other movements, whatever their backgrounds or objectives even within its system
Gaddafi’s Revolutionary Committees Movement (RCM) is not a military organization however most of it’s recruiters r well trained on arms.

alchemist585 :
Saif #gaddafi, the new president of the happy, just summoned a few commanders who failed to crush #Misrata. Someone will be shot
1 In the following tweets, I will relate the impressions of a well respected Libyan scientist & educator after a recent visit to benghazi
2 He was part of the #Tripoli delegation in the recent gathering in #Benghazi of reps of S, W, & central regions
3 They came from Doha directly to #Benghazi & spent 3 days in which they visited key #feb17 revolution landmarks including KATEEBA
4 They also had meetings & informal discussions w/ young & old revolutionaries, a news conf w/ Mr JALIL, and
5 finally Mr JALIL had separate 30 min meetings w/ each rep grp: W & S & Central regions
6 Feedback: Mr. JALIL is a good & honest man, but he lack political & leadership skills. He would be a good judge
7 As “young” as it is the #NTC is in dire need of YOUNG blood & skillful people. Key members suffer from #Gaddafi legacy
8 Mr. Abdelhafidh Ghoga, the vice president of the council bears a striking resemblance to Ghaddafi in his mannerism & dogmatism.
9 Mr. Ghoga is generally close-minded. He is adamantly opposed to the integration of Libyan exiles in the council or executive body
10 Mr. Ghoga is hasty, bordering on being reckless. e.g., he had given Frenchman killed in Benghazi a letter authorizing him to go anywhere
11 In short, Mr. Ghoga is a very weak link in the council, lacking knowledge, skills, & more. “he needs further training”
12 The delegates were not happy with Mr. JALIL’s responses in the news conf, which they thought was too structured/controlled #NTC #Benghazi
13 Mr. JALIL had no good answer to the Q: what system was used to decide the # of #NTC members representing each region
14 Some young revls in #Benghazi were very critical of Mr. Jibril for essentially residing abroad. They said he is afraid to be in Benghazi

ANOTHER TRAGEDY:
From a first hand account of a relative in Nafusa Mountain, he told me about a region called Al Ghazaya,
this area is under the control of Ghaddaffis men who have taken control and separated the women from the men.
They hold all the men captive and have placed explosives so they cannot move let alone escape.
The women also held hostage, and are forced to cook and clean for Ghaddaffis men. clothes, and are raped continuously by the Ghaddaffi men.
2 women escaped, they had no clothes on & barely managed 2 escape Ghaddaffis men use long-range rockets and overpowered those in the region.

L’appareil, basé sur le porte-avions Charles de Gaulle d’où il avait décollé pour remplir des missions de reconnaissance au-dessus de la Libye, n’était pas armé, ont déclaré à l’AFP les services maltais de l’aviation civile.
C’est le septième avion de combat français à procéder à un atterrissage d’urgence à Malte depuis le 20 avril, un mois après le début – le 19 mars – de l’intervention internationale en Libye.

A call to the Libyan army: I would like to remind you that this revolution has no other goals, except the demand of the removal of Qaddafi. This comes after 41 years of gagging mouths. After 41 years of confiscating freedoms, after 41 years of repression, degradation and humiliation. After 41 years of Qaddafi promoting himself to the rank of God to be worshipped. Your people have revolted other to express their opinions about this murderer. So why do you face your people with bullets. Is this your civil duty ? To defend one person? I swear by God it is a shame (disgrace) and sad to see you killing your brothers while holding pictures of this lunatic and cheering the chants that are lies, awkward and silly. We don’t see the brave and free revolutionists (freedom fighters) hold up pictures of anyone nor cheer for the life of anyone. Their only chant is Libya Libya. The choice is yours to either to stand with your people, or with the tyrant. No third option. I will remind you of the verse from the Holy Quran “Indeed Pharoah, Haman and their soldiers were wrongdoers”. I swear justice will prevail in this life before the hereafter if you don’t stop. I swear each person who lost a dear one by your hands will demand rightful justice now before later. This regime has ended. This regime has worn out, and will not rise again. So don’t kill representing them, rather come join your people before it is too late.

Live Libyan Unrest: France deploying 12 attack helicopters in Libya, the first to be used against Gaddafi forces
France and other members of the NATO-led coalition plan to deploy attack helicopters in Libya, a French diplomatic source said on Monday, a move aimed at ramping up pressure against Muammar Gaddafi’s forces.
“It is not just French helicopters. It’s coordinated action by the coalitioIt is at NATO level.�
Armed Forces spokesman Thierry Burkhard declined to confirm the report, but said the ship had left for the Mediterranean on May 17.
A British Ministry of Defence spokesman said there were “no plans to deploy attack helicopters (in Libya).�
French special forces, who have been operating in Libya to help identify targets for NATO planes since the start of air strikes, could now be reinforced and deployed to guide helicopter attacks.
Gaddafi shelled neighbourhoods in the west and south of the Libyan city of Misrata on Monday, a rebel spokesman and a witness said, adding that explosions were also heard in the port area.
Shelling began at around 8 a.m., he said. He said rebel forces were blocking the advance for the moment, but were coming under heavy pressure from the shelling and the presence of at least two tanks of the front line.
Abdelsalam said one rebel had been killed. The body of rebel fighter Youssef al-Aidi was brought from the frontline to Hekmat Hospital in Misrata.
Aidi has been hit in the head by an RPG rocket from 25 km west of Misrata, where a column of five Gaddafi tanks and some 50 men had advanced on the rebels’ position.
A rebel fighter with Aidi said Gaddafi forces had been bombing the rebels’ frontline with tank shells and Grad rockets since 5 a.m. The rebels say fighting there has been static for about two weeks.
“We’re fighting defensively here, we’re not pushing forward. We’re waiting for our brothers in Zlitan to call us. They have their own uprising there,� said Taha al-Golib.
Zlitan lies some 40 km west of Misrata and is held by Gaddafi’s forces.
A second witness in the city confirmed heavy shelling in the Dafinia region, 30 km to the west of the city centre, and reported explosions in the port area. He said rebels clashed with Gaddafi forces in Dafinia on Sunday, destroying a tank.
The head of Libya’s opposition has arrived for talks with Turkish leaders in a sign of improving ties after Turkey urged Moammar Gadhafi to step down and withdrew its diplomats from Tripoli.
Turkey’s Foreign Ministry says Mustafa Abdul-Jalil, chairman of Libya’s National Transitional Council, will meet Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan, Foreign Minister Ahmet Davutoglu and President Abdullah Gul on Monday to discuss latest developments in Libya as well as co-ordination of humanitarian aid supplies by Turkey.

CONFESSIONS of 2 Gaddafi RAPISTS: "They brought us in a group of 400 people to Misrata, saying the city is under attack from Algerian and Egyptian mercenaries and that we have come here to liberate Misurata.
“The officers brought in a music system and listened to pop music, and smoked and danced during the rapes.
“I’m not happy with what I did but I don’t feel nervous or frightened now, and I want to emphasise that the officers forced us to rape.
“They told us that if you rape any girls, we will give you money and we got 10 dinars $8, £5 each afterwards.
“This was my first time to have sex. I have four sisters at home.”
CONFESSION: MASS RAPE at Misrata: "The mother was screaming and when we pointed the gun at her, she stopped screaming.
“Then we tied up the mother and father and their boys three of them by their feet and hands. Then we shot every one of them in the leg.
“Then the officers took the girls upstairs, and we were told to go on the roof to keep guard until the officers had finished the rape and then we were told to rape the girls too.
“We felt scared, but when we refused to rape, they started to beat us.
“There were four girls aged between about 20 and 24.
“They were conscious during the rapes. I raped one.” The girls said nothing. They were tired and they were in bad shape because there were 20 officers before us.
“It happened in the morning, and lasted about an hour and a half.

1653 GMT: Turkey’s Prime Minister Erdogan met with the head of Libya’s National Transitional Council, Mustafa Abdul Jalil, today, and officially recognized the rebel organization as the official representatives of the people of Libya. Turkey has tried to stay more neutral with Libya, and has attempted to negotiate a trcue between the rebels and the Gaddafi regime. This is a clear signal that the strategy is changing in Ankara, and could be seen as yet another step towards regional elements adopting regime change in Libya as an official policy.

MAY 23 update WESTERN MOUNTAINS:
A member of our group on the ground in Yefren, today Monday the 23rd of May at about 23:00 hrs Libyan time has provided us with the following urgent message to communicate to the world:
Armed Gadaffi forces have been positioned in the same locations across Yefren for the past month and twenty days. However, during the last 48 hrs there has been a vast increase in their numbers allowing them toke control of more positions including the city centre, small vallies and positions on hills thereby blocking the peoples walkway which they have been depended on to access the very basic necessities (Food and Water) these necassities in themselves are scarce and to cut this off will only speed up starvation. He also added that it is evident that the ultimate goal of the Gadaffi Forces is to completely destroy the city and all those residing in it. audioboo.fm/boos/364976-urgent-call-fro...
We would like to remind the reader that there is a known strong hate of Gaddafi towards Amazigh ethnic minority that occupy cities in Nafusa mountains, with biggest being Yefren and Algalaa that he put under tight siege since 3rd of April (The only town under complete siege in Libya with No NATO, Media, International activity to relief its civilians). The Amazigh civilians can be traced back to 4000 BC in this area. About two weeks ago Gaddafi forces caught five people in Dahar subburbs of AlGalaa. They tortured them and release two them to take a clear warning to people of Algalaa and Yefren: either you come out and raise the flag of Gaddafi or we will destroy the two town completely and wipe them off the face of the earth. This warning was given by a high ranking army general.

Tunisian army fires tear gas at Libya border
(AP) – 1 hour ago
TUNIS, Tunisia (AP) — A witness says that Tunisian troops have fired tear gas and warning shots around a camp on the border with Libya to disperse rioting among refugees and local residents.
The tensions Tuesday came the day after four Eritrean refugees died when a fire spread through the Choucha camp near the town of Ras Jdir.
The U.N. High Commissioner for Refugees has moved out its staff because of the unrest, said spokeswoman Sybella Wilkes.
The witness said refugees frustrated at being in the camps so long have blocked a cross-border highway. Local residents are also frustrated that the refugees have stayed so long and want them to leave. The witness spoke on condition of anonymity for security reasons.
Around 3,500 refugees, mainly from Eritrea, Somalia and Ivory Coast, live in the camp.

Libyan government official attends OPEC talks
CAIRO May 24 (Reuters) – A Libyan official representing Muammar Gaddafi’s government is attending a meeting of OPEC’s governing board in Vienna this week, an OPEC delegate said on Tuesday.
The official has told other OPEC governors that Shokri Ghanem will represent Libya at the June 8 OPEC meeting to set production policy, the delegate said. OPEC’s website says the Libyan OPEC governor is Ahmed Mohamed Elghaber.
OPEC’s board of governors began a two-day meeting on Monday at OPEC’s Vienna headquarters. The governors discuss administrative matters and do not set OPEC’s production policy.
The Libyan rebels’ finance and oil minister said last week he hoped to be the one representing Libya at the June OPEC meeting. ID:nLDE74G0QI (Reporting by Amena Bakr, wriiting and additional reporting by Alex Lawler in London; editing by Anthony Barker)

More confirmation of mass rapes in UK The Sunday Times from veteran reporter MARIE HELVIN:
“We were just told to kill,” Abu Bakr said. The teenager said he did not keep track of how many times the four girls in the house had been raped. The soldiers in his unit had stolen 12,000 dinars and jewellery from the family, but he had not received a penny, he said.
“Abu Bakr, who is now held in a #Misurata school with other former Gaddafi soldiers while the rebels decide what to do with them, said he had decided to speak about the rapes after talking to an Islamic cleric.
“#Misratah officials said the ruthless assaults by Abu Bakr and his unit had been repeated across the city. Gaddafi’s soldiers, they said, had engaged in an orgy of rapes that mirrored their destruction of the city’s homes and buildings.
“Nothing would have prepared the women of Misratah or their families for the ferocity of the onslaught that occurred when they were trapped amid the fighting, mostly in districts that were controlled by Gaddafi’s forces for two months.
“The brutality emerged only when the rebels broke through loyalist lines and chased Gaddafi’s troops beyond the city limits. In their wake, they found horror stories. Doctors at Hekma hospital found some of Gaddafi’s soldiers had recorded video footage of rapes on their mobile phones. “They made the girls identify themselves to the camera and show their faces. Then they raped them,” one doctor said. The phones were found on loyalists who had been wounded or killed.
“Another video shows a group of Gaddafi’s soldiers in camouflage uniform breaking down a door and confronting a frightened family – a man, a woman, five girls whose ages range from about five to early 20s, and a boy aged about 7. The soldiers, shouting and waving their guns, stripped the four older girls in front of the family and took them into the next room where they raped the young women. The girls screamed and cried for mercy, calling on Allah. A soldier at one point yells: “Gaddafi is our Allah.”
“The video was found on the phone of a loyalist soldier.
“A Filipina nurse said her best friends had fled to #Tunisia after their four daughters and 13-year-old son were raped repeatedly after the family was trapped in their flat on #Tripoli Street, the scene of some of the heaviest fighting in #Misrata.
“I spoke to their mother,” the nurse said. “She said the boy was terrible. She said, ’Don’t even ask about my girls’.”

BREAKING! Reuters : #Gaddafi willing to leave power under conditions.!English
***************************************************
French to English translation
PARIS (Reuters) – Colonel Muammar Gaddafi would be willing to relinquish power, provided he can stay in Libya, France Soir wrote in its Wednesday edition.
Citing "reliable sources close to the Libyan authorities, "the newspaper said that emissaries of Colonel Qaddafi met for several weeks in the greatest secrecy, Western officials, including French, "each party wanting to end quickly. "
Asked by Reuters, the French Ministry of Foreign Affairs has not confirmed the existence of contacts with French officials.
The Foreign Minister, Alain Juppe, said Tuesday before the House that the coalition military operation in Libya wins success and should be completed within a few months later.
According to France Soir, Colonel Gaddafi was "traumatized by the death of his youngest son and three of her grandchildren in a NATO bombing on May 1 and is tired of being hunted. "
“In this context, Qaddafi was ready to relinquish power, especially as his entourage would now like to turn the page, " he adds.
Muammar Gaddafi would feel “like a caged lion” and suffers from the inability to move, particularly in the desert he loves.
“He spends several hours each day on the internet in Arabic, English or Italian. He wants to know what is said, know what we are talking about, and what is the latest information on the web, " said France Soir.

Ghazia and Teket have surrendered with no fight at all. they have subjected them to most horrific odeal they killed men, raped women killed them, mutilated and left them to rot quite few hung themselves and the rest are used as sex slaves
We are in a real war beyond any one comprehension the NTC have to act now. pls call for troops on the ground you can call for islamic arabic UN any thing but the no fly zone needed no compact zone on the ground, we passed this stage we need troops on the ground to stop this.

This was NOT accurate. The situation in Yefren remains as it was, a town under siege from all sides by Gaddafi forces, urgent need of medical supplies. The hospital in #Yefren is controlled by Gaddafi forces, who are using it as a military barracks. We regret the error and will re-double efforts to avoid confusion and to verify the accuracy of all reports before making them public.

ALJAZEERA:
South African leader to visit Tripoli in bid to persuade Libyan leader to step down, as NATO steps up bombing campaign.
Zuma headed an AU delegation to Libya last month, but failed to broker a peace deal EPA
South African president Jacob Zuma will visit the Libya next week, for talks officials say will focus on an “exit strategy” for the country’s embattled leader, Muammar Gaddafi.
Zuma visited Tripoli on April 10 as part of an African Union delegation to broker a truce between Gaddafi and his opponents, but a peace plan fell through when the rebels insisted the longtime ruler step down.
“President Zuma will stop over in Tripoli for a discussion on May 30,” the South African presidency said in a statement.
Two sources in the presidency, speaking on condition of anonymity, said the talks would focus on Gaddafi’s “exit strategy”, the AFP news agency reported.
“The meeting is still very much in the planning stages,” the source added. A second official said South Africa was working with Turkey on an exit plan for Gaddafi.
Despite attempting to broker peace in Libya, South Africa voted for a UN resolution authorising a no-fly zone over the country. But Pretoria has also since criticised NATO’s bombing campaign, and said that it does not support regime change in the country.
‘Grave violation’
Further NATO military strikes against targets in Tripoli overnight also drew criticism from Russia on Wednesday.
“We clearly see another grave violation on UN Security Council Resolutions 1970 and 1973,” the Russian foreign ministry said in a statement, adding that the escalation of NATO’s campaign could lead to further violence and cause more suffering.
Russia said western attempts to justify the offensive by pointing to the threats being posed to civilians by Gaddafi’s forces ignored the danger of the regime becoming even more entrenched in its stance.
Russia abstained from the second UN resolution on Libya in a move that allowed international forces to launch their air campaign.
“Air strikes are not stopping the military confrontation between the Libyan parties and only creating more suffering among peaceful civilians,” the foreign ministry said.
The Russian statement added that NATO’s current strategy was “in no way moving us closer toward achieving the overall goal of quickly ending the armed conflict”.
NATO forces have stepped up their bombing campaign in Tripoli in the past two nights, apparently targeting Gaddafi’s Bab Al-Aziziya residential compound.
Two sets of three large blasts occurred late on Tuesday, killing 19 people and injuring 150, according to Libyan state television, which aired footage of at least three young men on stretchers with gaping head wounds and covered with dust.
Led by France, Britain and the United States, NATO warplanes have been bombing Libya for more than two months.
Libyan rebels who are trying to end Gaddafi’s 41-year rule, control the east of the oil-producing country, but the conflict has been deadlocked for weeks.

Transcript of Obama’s Statements on the Middle East at his joint press conference with Cameron.
Posted on May 25, 2011

Relevant quotes from the Joint press conference:
Cameron on Arab spring: “We’ve seen some extraordinary things… this is a once in a generation moment to grab hold of.” …. ”this is our issue and this is massively in our interest”
Cameron on Libya: “Gaddafi… must go” ….. ”Idealism without realism does no good for anyone… Democracy is built from the ground up… Real change takes time.”
“The president (Obama) and I agree that we should be turning up the heat in Libya”
Cameron: Britain and US share interest in same outcomes, but “we are doing things in different ways”
Obama: “Gaddafi and his regime need to understand that there will not be a lettup in the pressure that we are bringing.”
Obama: “The fate of these regions are going to be determined by the people themselves”
Obama: “It is going to be difficult to meet the UN mandate of security for the Libyan people as long as Gaddafi is attacking them”
Obama: “I have faith that as long as we maintain the course that we are on, he Gaddafi will step down”
Obama: effective coordination with Libyan people on the ground is necessary.
Cameron: “Of course the UN resolution is not about regime change. The UN resolution is about protecting civilians”
Cameron: It’s hard to understand how to interpret the UN resolution without needing to end Gaddafi’s rule.
EU:
Libya’s busy low-fare Afriqiyah airline, popular for plying African destinations, was hit Tuesday by a European Union assets freeze as the 27-nation bloc stepped up pressure on Moamer Kadhafi.
The airline was added to a list of Libyan firms and individuals targeted by EU sanctions that took effect from Tuesday when published in the bloc’s official journal.
Also added by the journal to an already lengthy list of people was Taher Juwadi, the fourth in command in Kadhafi’s Revolutionary Guard. He will be hit by a travel ban and assets freeze.
Afriqiyah Airways was targeted with an asset freeze on grounds it is a subsidiary of the Libyan African Investment Portfolio, “an entity entirely owned and controlled by the regime,” the official journal said.

France, Seeking Gadhafi’s Swift Fall, Laments U.S. Remove
BY DAVID GAUTHIER-VILLARS
PARIS—France said Wednesday it is seeking to precipitate the downfall of Libya’s strongman by honing in on more precise military targets and reaching out to dissidents in Tripoli, while lamenting the U.S. lack of involvement in the war against Col. Moammar Gadhafi.
France is intent on using helicopters, possibly in tandem with the U.K., to target some of Col. Gadhafi’s military headquarters in Tripoli and other urban areas, Foreign Minister Alain Juppé said in an interview.
“That’s what we are trying to do with the British,” Mr. Juppé said. “I hope so, although they haven’t confirmed their participation.”

He says Gadhafi forces detain anyone who goes to the hospital for medical help, so they have to tend to sick/wounded in the mtns.
He says some people living in makeshift underground bunkers, others fled to caves for protection against shelling by Gadhafi forces.

Kadhafi cut off from troops: Canadian general
(AFP) – 1 hour ago
OTTAWA — NATO air strikes have forced Libyan strongman Moamer Kadhafi into hiding, making it increasingly difficult for him to communicate with his troops, a Canadian general said Wednesday.
“We now realize that Kadhafi is forced to hide (from NATO air strikes) and so it’s become more and more difficult for him to communicate with his troops and to order attacks on civilians,” Brigadier-General Richard Blanchette told a briefing.
NATO began to turn up the heat last month with almost daily strikes in and around Tripoli, including an evening air raid on April 30 that the regime says killed one of Kadhafi’s sons and three grandchildren. NATO has not confirmed the deaths.
As alliance jets blasted Libya’s capital on Wednesday, Blanchette said NATO had flown 8,100 missions over Libya, including 3,100 air strikes since the start of the campaign to pressure Kadhafi to quit after 42 years in office.
Canadian fighter jets dropped 240 laser-guided bombs on the country, said the Canadian military’s spokesman.
“What you heard perhaps is that there has been increased pressure in Tripoli,” he said, disputing suggestions bombardments across Libya had also been ramped up.
Libyan rebels scored a major victory mid-May by taking control of the Misrata airport about 200 kilometers east of Tripoli, placing the strategic hub beyond the range of government guns after two months under siege.
“If you look at what happened in Misrata, for example, we’re convinced that we’ve positively influenced the situation, a large number of civilians have been protected… and the Kadhafi regime’s artillery batteries, which were bombarding the city daily, have been pushed back,” Blanchette said.

h2. Tripoli update confirmed news:
Account from contact:
Witnessed by my cousins:
13:00 on Ben Ashour Street, a young man was shot and killed by security. He was reportedly shot in the abdomen. He was taken straight to hospital and later passed away.
The incident sparked mass revolt on the street. Immediately shops shut and my uncle reports no fewer than 300 people took to the streets. A Revolutionary Committee (lejan Tawreya) car was burnt in anger. The crowd continued to grow and chant “Free Libya, Free Libya, Free Libya”. Military police (red berets) fled the area very quickly.
At around 14:30 security trucks were seen at the end of the roads but seemed reluctant to enter the street due to the crowd.
At around 15:00 tundra trucks (katiba) arrived shooting into the air. Various individuals were dragged away and eventually the crowd dispersed.
I was too far away from the district to participate but when I finally arrived I found a charred car in the middle of the street. Was unable to film due to security but will do so as soon as I can (as long as its there tomorrow).
I also found the tent at the young mans house where the family were accepting condolences from people all over the district."
The progressive increase in activity in Tripoli continues.

Anton Hammerl: At 10pm BST this evening we received devastating news regarding Anton Hammerl.
On 5 April 2011 Anton was shot by Gaddafi’s forces in an extremely remote location in the Libyan desert. According to eyewitnesses, his injuries were such that he could not have survived without medical attention.
Words are simply not enough to describe the unbelievable trauma the Hammerl family is going through.
From the moment Anton disappeared in Libya we have lived in hope as the Libyan officials assured us that they had Anton.
It is intolerably cruel that Gaddafi loyalists have known Anton’s fate all along and chose to cover it up.

RAF aircraft last night participated in a major NATO strike against Colonel Qadhafi’s navy, as part of Operation Unified Protector.
The RAF attack was mounted against the naval base at Al Khums, the nearest concentration of regime warships to the port of Misratah.
Colonel Qadhafi has repeatedly attempted to close the port of Misratah to humanitarian shipping.
As well as hitting two corvettes in the harbour, RAF Tornados successfully targeted a dockyard facility constructing fast inflatable boats.
Libyan forces have used fast inflatable boats several times in their efforts to mine Misratah and attack vessels in the area
The destruction of the facility and a significant stockpile of the boats will reduce the regime’s ability to sustain such tactics.

Photographer tells of desert ordeal
A Spanish photographer held for more than a month in Libya has said he saw UK-based photographer Anton Hammerl badly injured during a heavy firefight in the desert but does not know where he ended up.
Manuel Varela told reporters in Madrid that, after being arrested following the attack by Libyan forces in early April, he saw Mr Hammerl “pale and his guts were hanging out”.
Mr Varela provided the first details of how he and several colleagues had come under fire with rebel forces but said: “I don’t know where Anton ended up.”
Journalists released with Mr Varela said on Thursday that South African Mr Hammerl had been shot and left to die in the desert.
Mr Hammerl, 41, was initially reported to have been captured along with Mr Varela and Americans Clare Morgana Gillis and James Foley.

L’OTAN a arraisonné hier un pétrolier en route vers la Libye
L’OTAN, rapporte Reuters, a annoncé aujourd’hui l’arraisonnement la veille du MV Jupiter, un pétrolier dont la cargaison pouvait être destinée au gouvernement libyen. Elle a justifié cette opération en affirmant, par la voix d’une de ses porte-parole, Carmen Romero, que ses « forces navales peuvent intercepter les navires entrant ou quittant les ports libyens si elles disposent d’informations fiables donnant à penser que le navire ou sa cargaison servira à attaquer ou à menacer des civils, directement ou indirectement ».
Citant un responsable de l’Alliance qui a requis l’anonymat, l’Agence France presse rapporte, de son côté, que l’OTAN, après avoir inspecté le navire, avait déconseillé à son équipage de poursuivre jusqu’en Libye, lui assurant avoir des raisons de penser que sa cargaison serait destiné à un usage militaire.
Un responsable libyen avait affirmé à « Petroleum Economist » que le MV Jupiter avait quitté l’Italie et se rendait vers un port de l’ouest de la Libye contrôlé par le gouvernement libyen, avec une cargaison de 12.750 tonnes de pétrole. Selon cette publication spécialisée, il se trouvait à Malte lorsqu’il a été intercepté par les forces navales de l’OTAN.

News from NAFUSA MOUNTAIN:
Friday 20 May, 13:00
- Nalut: Strong and consistent attacks on the Marabeh crossing by armed Gaddafi forces since approximately 11:15 am this morning. This was in an attempt to cross it in order for them to be able to take control of the Wazin crossing which is at the border. This has been the strongest and most fierce attack yet. Gaddafi forces are dependent on the large number of military tanks, rocket launchers and various other military machinery and weapons. The attacks that are ongoing at the moment are with tank artillery, rocket launcher and Grad and Hawn missiles.
- Zentan: No less than 30 mercenaries have been killed and one of their tanks and three of their rocket launchers destroyed. As for the revolutionaries, one was killed and seven injured. Two of those injured are in a critical state. During the retreat of Gaddafi mercenaries, coalition forces bombed them destroying a Grad missile launcher vehicle which was near the Camp of man-made river company, east of Awiniya in addition to a group of military vehicles moving from Shagiga.

Senegal President recognises Libya’s pro-democracy movement:
The decision by Senegalese President Abdoulaye Wade comes as a surprise for
many observers. Wade is known to be close to Libyan leader Muammar Gaddafi and has received him in Dakar many times.
A statement released by Wade’s Cabinet director late yesterday said that the Senegalese leader had consulted with a delegation for the revolutionaries in Senegal.
Habib Sy said that Wade recognized Mustafa Abdul-Jalil as chairman of Libya’s National Transitional Council.
He said the group is responsible for preparing “the establishment of republican institutions in Libya through democratic elections, free and transparent.�
The Council has so far been officially recognised by France, Qatar, Maldives, Italy, Kuwait, and Gambia.

U.S. to give Libyan rebels uniforms, tents, aid
WASHINGTON May 20 (Reuters) – The Pentagon said on Friday it has shipped Libyan rebels military food rations and will soon provide them with other forms of non-lethal aid including uniforms, tents and protective vests.
The United States and NATO allies including Britain and France are conducting air strikes that aim to stop Libyan leader Muammar Gaddafi from using military force against civilians.
But nearly two months after NATO took command of the mission, the conflict has reached a stalemate as rebel attempts to advance on Tripoli have stalled.
President Barack Obama, wary of being dragged more deeply into the conflict, has ruled out putting boots on the ground in Libya and instead hopes the combination of military and political pressure forces Gaddafi out.
His military advisers have also warned against providing lethal support to rebels that could fall into the hands of extremists.
The Pentagon said it had delivered 120,000 ready-to-eat meals that meet Muslim dietary restrictions. It was also delivering sandbags, barricade construction materials, personnel equipment and other non-lethal aid.
Colonel Dave Lapan said those materials would be delivered “in the coming weeks.” (Reporting by Phil Stewart and David Alexander; Editing by Xavier

This is the interesting bit:
Reporters who inspected some of the coast guard ships that had been hit in Tripoli saw small gunboats that Forgani said were used to patrol waters to curb illegal immigration to Europe. Although the patrol boats appeared to have missile launchers, he said those were a remnant from their prior use as navy ships and were not equipped with missiles.
Libyan governm. said warships were not used since March, but forgot to mention above facts (that now have been established by intern press.) rofl
It’s comedy hr at the Rixos again!
Forgani said that the NATO airstrikes had also hit a larger frigate-class navy ship, but reporters were not allowed to examine it.
And why not if I may ask? Your guess is as good as mine:)

NPR: Congress Leaves Without OK For #Libya Operation | n.pr/kY7n1X
Gadhafi’s Son Funds Iowa Film:
Two years ago, the Iowa Film Office was shut down when the state auditor found more than $25 million in tax credits weren’t issued properly. Governor Terry Branstad said he plans to re-open the Iowa Film Office, but now that’s in question because of new information on a movie that was shot in Des Moines a few years ago.
The movie is called “The Experiment” and boasts some pretty famous Hollywood stars. But the man behind the scenes is what all the fuss is about.
The son of Libyan leader Moammar Gadhafi funded the production of the movie. His name is Saadi Gadhafi, he’s currently the commander of Libyan special forces, and he’s played a big role in the current turmoil there.
Members of the Quad Cities Film Coalition say the movie doesn’t make Iowa look good.
“It’s blood money,” said Quad Cities Film Coalition member Doug Miller.
“You know where Libya is, you know who Mr. Gadhafi is, you know who his son is and so forth.”
Just as conflict started heating up in Libya, Saadi Gadhafi was investing millions in a production company called “Natural Selection.” And that company got Iowa film tax credits for shooting “The Experiment” in downtown Des Moines.
“I would think people would be outraged. I certainly am,” said Miller.
He said this is a blemish in Iowa’s film reputation and it boils down to one thing.
“Nobody was paying attention. Proper due diligence wasn’t done to investigate the entire production, who is involved with it.”
He said it’s going to take hard work for the Iowa film industry to come back from this.
“It’s going to take a long time to erase these problems, if ever.”

Libya crowd attacks bus carrying foreign journalists
Sat, May 21 10:34 AM EDT
TRIPOLI (Reuters) – Angry Libyans armed with guns and a knife stormed a bus carrying foreign journalists on Saturday and a soldier fired volleys of gunfire into the air to disperse the crowd, a Reuters journalist on the bus said.
The attack reflected Libyan anger at severe petrol shortages, a two-month-old NATO bombing campaign against Muammar Gaddafi’s government and state media reports that foreign journalists misrepresent the news.
The incident started when a hotel shuttle bus carrying a Reuters reporter and a journalist with Hong Kong-based Phoenix Television to the Tunisian border became snarled in a long line of motorists waiting for fuel at a petrol station in Zuwarah, west of the capital.
A crowd quickly formed and some stormed the bus after kicking in its doors. At least two were armed with pistols and one had a knife, said Reuters television producer Guy Desmond said.
A BBC support consultant on the bus, a government minder and a soldier managed to ward off the crowd taking blows in the process. The bus’ tires were slashed and a soldier fired into the air to push the crowd back.
“I have no doubt that these guys pretty much saved our lives,” Desmond said. The bus drove to a police station and the journalists later returned to the Tripoli hotel where foreign media are based.
Nobody was injured in the incident, which began at about noon local time.
Two photojournalists were killed last month after coming under fire in the besieged Libyan town of Misrata.
A South African freelance photographer missing since April is believed dead after being shot in the stomach and abandoned in the desert by pro-Gaddafi forces, his family said on Friday.

Driving through Tripoli passed a bombed out building. City is still busy. Shops open. People shopping. Gaddafi posters everywhere.
We know there is an anti-Gaddafi underground movement in Tripoli. But they’ve not yet found that momentum to move. Wind not yet behind them?
One thing that strikes me as we see bomb sites is the level of accuracy of the NATO weapons. Building hit, building metres away untouched.
Yesterday at the port, we saw small (50m) military boats destroyed, and yet the harbour which they were moored to undamaged.
Rights/wrongs of bombing aside, the precision of these weapons is striking. They maybe hitting the designated targets but r they legitimate?
We are now waiting on the bus that takes us everywhere with minders. We’re told there’s a press conference, but as usual, details are thin.
Just spent hour in bombed ‘Ministry of Oversight & Inspection’. Essentially, we are told, it is the Corruption Ministry.
We found the remains of what we believe was a JDAM bomb in the wreckage of the Ministry. t.co/PUmK82h http://t.co/v1E9szW

he only obvious sign of tension in Tripoli is the fuel shortages. NATO stopped tanker from docking 2 days ago – said fuel was for military.

Battle for Brega 800km east is now secondary real battle going on now is in Zliten only 140 km east of tripoli a real strategic shift for FF
Reaction 2 bus attack:
The bus attack was totally staged. Knives? Army shooting in the air (not at the people in typical Gaddafi style)?… This is too funny
so #Gaddafi now is playing the “angry crowd” card with international media?

By the way Gaddafi tried to blow up the media centre in Benghazi today using an explosive device, I’ll tweet details later
RRowleyTucson Robert Rowley
#Benghazi: #Gaddafi trash today attempted and failed to bomb the media center.
CIL:
Benghazi: At around 2pm, security asked the Benghazi media centre employees to evacuate the building. They said that there was a large bomb
Benghazi: The bomb was in the basement of the media centre and could have been enough to destroy or damage the building
Benghazi: Security and bomb disposal units were able to defuse and destroy the bomb and then a group of commandos searched the building
Benghazi: The commandos searched all media centre employees using sniffer dogs and the group responsible for the attempt was caught
Benghazi: This group is suspected of being Gaddafi spies, called Gaddafi’s “5th column” after Libyan State TV prmised a “surprise” yesterday
Benghazi: The media centre is safe now and Gaddafi’s 5th column were caught. This is via an eyewitness from the centre on Facebook. #libya
I can’t confirm the previous tweets but maybe someone else in Benghazi can shed more light. The FB source is usually trustworthy.
More and more desperate attempts by Gaddafi to cause problems in Benghazi. Too bad the people he hires are complete idiots. :))))

Bus was attacked because someone outside spotted a journo taking photo which isn’t allowed. This story has been mis-reported.
#Tripoli call: “Spoke to one Navy General, He said the night the Navy base got bombed by Nato, The Navy Soldiers were all celebrating from joy, crying and clapping from joy.

Tripoli update: NATO has been warning Gaddafi’s military for 3 days nw and the houses which usually have heavy security are abandoned #libya
Tripoli update: The neighbours were not warned by Gaddafi’s soldiers even though NATO’s warnings are to ensure just that
Tripoli update: Only reason the neighbours know about the imminent strikes is because of whispers/leaks. Gaddafi soldiers want civs to die.
Tripoli update: Source says that a high ranking mil official confirmed to him that a big fight erupted in Bab Al Aziziya 2 days ago
Tripoli update: The fight was between Gaddafi forces and security within the compound. Ths is a similar incident to 6 weeks ago or so #libya
Tripoli update: The clashes inside Bab Al Aizizya were the reason for the Benghazi rumour (pro-gaddafi demos), to distract media
Tripoli update: Tripoli, a city that usually sleeps at 3am, grinds to a halt at 8pm nowadays. This is definitely not normal
Tripoli update: However, the source says that people in Tripoli understand that media can only report what they see. Unfortunately
Tripoli update: Source also says that there are checkpoints all over town and that there is gunfire every single night without exception
He confirms the shooting did not involve activists but was rather an internal affair!
Tripoli update: Attacks on checkpoints and Gaddafi forces are increasing daily and they are very scared/worried.

There is suggestion that NATO might have received intelligence thus attacking his navy.He confirms that this plan is no longer in operation.
‘’Reporters can only report what they see. Quite rightly, Tripoli currently does not appear to be a city at war’
But suggestion of ‘normality’ must be qualified. Normality is relative.
To know what the norm is for Tripoli you must have a baseline based on a pre-uprising assessment.
Reporters should note that in Tripoli, shops normally close at 2 or 3 am in main shopping districts

#TRIPOLI #LIBYA UPDATE – 21st May 2011 1-
Reliable reports that Ayshas house and Muatisms house in Tripoli, Al Hani District and Al Dul Street respectively, will be bombed. Loop warnings to military over past 3 days.
Security, usually plentiful at the gates, have now entirely disappeared. Local petrol station has now closed. Neighbours have NOT been officially informed but have been informed via leaks! If indeed the targets are hit, the regime knew about it in advance, and neighbours were not informed, is this a war crime / crime against humanity?
2-
Have personally spoken to a high ranking military official today who has informed me that 2 nights ago there was a fire fight between security forces within the compound of Bab Alazaziyah. Very similar to a previous incidents some 6 weeks ago or more. Exact response to the clash – immediate instigation of Benghazi rumour on State TV and orders to celebrate. He confirms the shooting did not involve activists but was rather an internal affair!
3-
Spoke to a second military officer this afternoon who came to find me to pass on the info that there is news between his ranks that a plan was being finalised to send troops by sea to Misrata and Benghazi. This was before the hit on the navy facilities. There is suggestion that NATO might have received intelligence and therefore attacked the navy. He confirms that this plan is no longer in operation.

Heavy talk on the streets of Tripoli of annoyance that reporters are reporting Tripoli as ‘normal’. This in light of very recent reports by SKY and BBC suggesting “Tripoli is normal”.
This was discussed at our meeting today and the consensus of our group is:
Reporters can only report what they say. Quite rightly, Tripoli currently does not appear to be a city at war. But suggestion of ‘normality’ must be qualified. Normality is relative. To know what the norm is for Tripoli you must have a baseline based on a pre-uprising assessment.
Reporters should note that in Tripoli, shops normally close at 2 or 3 am in main shopping districts. Ben Ashour is known at times to ‘never sleep’. Now shops close soon after Mughreb prayer.
Reporters should also take note that whilst shops are indeed open, 70% are closed. Of those which are open, some have been harassed to open (our family shop included – story below), some open because it is their only lifeline and can not afford to join the boycott, some are loyalists, some open as an excuse to gather (including key shops where activist meetings take place in key districts).
Reporters should also note that the university (huge) is borderline empty! That schools are borderline empty. It is the middle of term time. My nieces and nephews and young cousins have not gone to school for months. They are not the exception to the rule.
There are checkpoints all over town which intensify in number and in paranoia after dark.
There is gunfire every night without exception.
So whilst the consensus is that reporters are forgiven for reporting normality, to those of us that know ‘normal Tripoli’, it is far from accurate.
Everyone, however, understands the difficulty and restrictions the media are under.
5-
The story of our family shop.
As part of wide spread boycott, our shop decided to close after 17th Feb. We were approached, like many along our row, and asked why we were closed. When we responded that it was fear from the instability we were ordered to open in the next 24 hours. When the security men returned 2 days later they asked why we had still not opened. We replied that there was a staff shortage. They told us, in no uncertain terms, to open even if ‘the shop is empty and you sell nothing’. We were told that the shop MUST NOT remain closed under any circumstances. For a while our shop opened. When i realised this i approached the family members who make the decisions and said that it was unacceptable that we open our own shop whilst i go around preaching a city wide boycott. I was told that recently we had been approached by security men and told, ‘thank you for opening up and showing your loyalty to your country, of course if you decide to close again we will take the shop and open it for you. Have a good day’. This is not a unique conversation. This will have happened thousands of times over in tripoli.
My reply was that we should continue to give excuses to buy time but ultimately MUST close our shop. If they confiscate our shop then so be it. We are fighting to liberate a nation….with it we will liberate our shop.
Our shop now remains closed.
Many people around Tripoli find themselves in similar dilemmas. Some have not got the conviction to carry through with a boycott. Others cannot financially afford to. Many are overcome by the harassment. And yet still…..the majority of shops in Tripoli are shut!
Fashloum, Ben ashour and Zaweeyat al Dahmani form a kind of shopping triangle district. In these 3 areas 80% of shops are shut. If anyone wants video evidence i can provide it, along with google map images to show where the streets are.
6-
There continue to be increasing, daily, armed attacks in Tripoli. Armed attacks in the past few days that i can CONFIRM are Soug al Jomaa and Al Hadba.

Besides his foreign mercenaries #Gaddafi has recruited RCM members more than his army in his war against Libyan people.
Revolutionary Committees Movement (RCM) members are between 300,000 to 500,000 members acc to Libyan Gov.
The main objectives of RCM 1. To incite the masses to exercise their loyalties to the brother leader
2. To strengthen the brother leader views on how Libyan should live their lives.
3. To practice revolutionary control over the whole Libya.
4. To gather as much as possible stupid people in Popular Congresses to worship our brother leader.
5. To threaten the Popular Committees and its delegates in Libya and abroad
6. To protect, defend the brother leader and to everlasting his propaganda.
7. To eradicate any other movements, whatever their backgrounds or objectives even within its system
Gaddafi’s Revolutionary Committees Movement (RCM) is not a military organization however most of it’s recruiters r well trained on arms.

7 As “young” as it is the #NTC is in dire need of YOUNG blood & skillful people. Key members suffer from #Gaddafi legacy
8 Mr. Abdelhafidh Ghoga, the vice president of the council bears a striking resemblance to Ghaddafi in his mannerism & dogmatism.
9 Mr. Ghoga is generally close-minded. He is adamantly opposed to the integration of Libyan exiles in the council or executive body
10 Mr. Ghoga is hasty, bordering on being reckless. e.g., he had given Frenchman killed in Benghazi a letter authorizing him to go anywhere
11 In short, Mr. Ghoga is a very weak link in the council, lacking knowledge, skills, & more. “he needs further training”
12 The delegates were not happy with Mr. JALIL’s responses in the news conf, which they thought was too structured/controlled #NTC #Benghazi
13 Mr. JALIL had no good answer to the Q: what system was used to decide the # of #NTC members representing each region
14 Some young revls in #Benghazi were very critical of Mr. Jibril for essentially residing abroad. They said he is afraid to be in Benghazi

ANOTHER TRAGEDY:
From a first hand account of a relative in Nafusa Mountain, he told me about a region called Al Ghazaya,
this area is under the control of Ghaddaffis men who have taken control and separated the women from the men.
They hold all the men captive and have placed explosives so they cannot move let alone escape.
The women also held hostage, and are forced to cook and clean for Ghaddaffis men. clothes, and are raped continuously by the Ghaddaffi men.
2 women escaped, they had no clothes on & barely managed 2 escape Ghaddaffis men use long-range rockets and overpowered those in the region.

Un avion de combat français Super Etendard a interrompu aujourd’hui ses opérations en Libye et demandé l’autorisation d’atterrir d’urgence à Malte en raison de vents violents, ont annoncé les autorités de La Valette.
L’appareil, basé sur le porte-avions Charles de Gaulle d’où il avait décollé pour remplir des missions de reconnaissance au-dessus de la Libye, n’était pas armé, ont déclaré à l’AFP les services maltais de l’aviation civile.
C’est le septième avion de combat français à procéder à un atterrissage d’urgence à Malte depuis le 20 avril, un mois après le début – le 19 mars – de l’intervention internationale en Libye.

Ibn Omar: im reposting this, a message to the #libyan #army. Translation: In the name of God most Gracious most merciful
A call to the Libyan army: I would like to remind you that this revolution has no other goals, except the demand of the removal of Qaddafi. This comes after 41 years of gagging mouths. After 41 years of confiscating freedoms, after 41 years of repression, degradation and humiliation. After 41 years of Qaddafi promoting himself to the rank of God to be worshipped. Your people have revolted other to express their opinions about this murderer. So why do you face your people with bullets. Is this your civil duty ? To defend one person? I swear by God it is a shame (disgrace) and sad to see you killing your brothers while holding pictures of this lunatic and cheering the chants that are lies, awkward and silly. We don’t see the brave and free revolutionists (freedom fighters) hold up pictures of anyone nor cheer for the life of anyone. Their only chant is Libya Libya. The choice is yours to either to stand with your people, or with the tyrant. No third option. I will remind you of the verse from the Holy Quran “Indeed Pharoah, Haman and their soldiers were wrongdoers”. I swear justice will prevail in this life before the hereafter if you don’t stop. I swear each person who lost a dear one by your hands will demand rightful justice now before later. This regime has ended. This regime has worn out, and will not rise again. So don’t kill representing them, rather come join your people before it is too late.

Live Libyan Unrest: France deploying 12 attack helicopters in Libya, the first to be used against Gaddafi forces
France and other members of the NATO-led coalition plan to deploy attack helicopters in Libya, a French diplomatic source said on Monday, a move aimed at ramping up pressure against Muammar Gaddafi’s forces.
“It is not just French helicopters. It’s coordinated action by the coalitioIt is at NATO level.�
Armed Forces spokesman Thierry Burkhard declined to confirm the report, but said the ship had left for the Mediterranean on May 17.
A British Ministry of Defence spokesman said there were “no plans to deploy attack helicopters (in Libya).�
French special forces, who have been operating in Libya to help identify targets for NATO planes since the start of air strikes, could now be reinforced and deployed to guide helicopter attacks.
Gaddafi shelled neighbourhoods in the west and south of the Libyan city of Misrata on Monday, a rebel spokesman and a witness said, adding that explosions were also heard in the port area.
Shelling began at around 8 a.m., he said. He said rebel forces were blocking the advance for the moment, but were coming under heavy pressure from the shelling and the presence of at least two tanks of the front line.
Abdelsalam said one rebel had been killed. The body of rebel fighter Youssef al-Aidi was brought from the frontline to Hekmat Hospital in Misrata.
Aidi has been hit in the head by an RPG rocket from 25 km west of Misrata, where a column of five Gaddafi tanks and some 50 men had advanced on the rebels’ position.
A rebel fighter with Aidi said Gaddafi forces had been bombing the rebels’ frontline with tank shells and Grad rockets since 5 a.m. The rebels say fighting there has been static for about two weeks.
“We’re fighting defensively here, we’re not pushing forward. We’re waiting for our brothers in Zlitan to call us. They have their own uprising there,� said Taha al-Golib.
Zlitan lies some 40 km west of Misrata and is held by Gaddafi’s forces.
A second witness in the city confirmed heavy shelling in the Dafinia region, 30 km to the west of the city centre, and reported explosions in the port area. He said rebels clashed with Gaddafi forces in Dafinia on Sunday, destroying a tank.
The head of Libya’s opposition has arrived for talks with Turkish leaders in a sign of improving ties after Turkey urged Moammar Gadhafi to step down and withdrew its diplomats from Tripoli.
Turkey’s Foreign Ministry says Mustafa Abdul-Jalil, chairman of Libya’s National Transitional Council, will meet Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan, Foreign Minister Ahmet Davutoglu and President Abdullah Gul on Monday to discuss latest developments in Libya as well as co-ordination of humanitarian aid supplies by Turkey.
benwedeman: Intense NATO bombing outside Misrata. Multiple sorties, explosions shaking the windows kilometres away.

CONFESSIONS of 2 Gaddafi RAPISTS: "They brought us in a group of 400 people to Misrata, saying the city is under attack from Algerian and Egyptian mercenaries and that we have come here to liberate Misurata.
“The officers brought in a music system and listened to pop music, and smoked and danced during the rapes.
“I’m not happy with what I did but I don’t feel nervous or frightened now, and I want to emphasise that the officers forced us to rape.
“They told us that if you rape any girls, we will give you money and we got 10 dinars $8, £5 each afterwards.
“This was my first time to have sex. I have four sisters at home.”
CONFESSION: MASS RAPE at Misrata: "The mother was screaming and when we pointed the gun at her, she stopped screaming.
“Then we tied up the mother and father and their boys three of them by their feet and hands. Then we shot every one of them in the leg.
“Then the officers took the girls upstairs, and we were told to go on the roof to keep guard until the officers had finished the rape and then we were told to rape the girls too.
“We felt scared, but when we refused to rape, they started to beat us.
“There were four girls aged between about 20 and 24.
“They were conscious during the rapes. I raped one.” The girls said nothing. They were tired and they were in bad shape because there were 20 officers before us.
“It happened in the morning, and lasted about an hour and a half.

Installed in the helicopter are an AN/AAR-60 MILDS System ensuring radar warning, a laser warning system, and a missile launch/approach detector developed by EADS DE, all connected to a central processing unit from Thales and a SAPHIR-M chaff/flare dispenser from MBDA. Its visual, radar, infrared, sound signatures have been minimized.�

EAworldview:
1653 GMT: Turkey’s Prime Minister Erdogan met with the head of Libya’s National Transitional Council, Mustafa Abdul Jalil, today, and officially recognized the rebel organization as the official representatives of the people of Libya. Turkey has tried to stay more neutral with Libya, and has attempted to negotiate a trcue between the rebels and the Gaddafi regime. This is a clear signal that the strategy is changing in Ankara, and could be seen as yet another step towards regional elements adopting regime change in Libya as an official policy.

MAY 23 update WESTERN MOUNTAINS:
A member of our group on the ground in Yefren, today Monday the 23rd of May at about 23:00 hrs Libyan time has provided us with the following urgent message to communicate to the world:
Armed Gadaffi forces have been positioned in the same locations across Yefren for the past month and twenty days. However, during the last 48 hrs there has been a vast increase in their numbers allowing them toke control of more positions including the city centre, small vallies and positions on hills thereby blocking the peoples walkway which they have been depended on to access the very basic necessities (Food and Water) these necassities in themselves are scarce and to cut this off will only speed up starvation. He also added that it is evident that the ultimate goal of the Gadaffi Forces is to completely destroy the city and all those residing in it. audioboo.fm/boos/364976-urgent-call-fro...
We would like to remind the reader that there is a known strong hate of Gaddafi towards Amazigh ethnic minority that occupy cities in Nafusa mountains, with biggest being Yefren and Algalaa that he put under tight siege since 3rd of April (The only town under complete siege in Libya with No NATO, Media, International activity to relief its civilians). The Amazigh civilians can be traced back to 4000 BC in this area. About two weeks ago Gaddafi forces caught five people in Dahar subburbs of AlGalaa. They tortured them and release two them to take a clear warning to people of Algalaa and Yefren: either you come out and raise the flag of Gaddafi or we will destroy the two town completely and wipe them off the face of the earth. This warning was given by a high ranking army general.

Tunisian army fires tear gas at Libya border
(AP) – 1 hour ago
TUNIS, Tunisia (AP) — A witness says that Tunisian troops have fired tear gas and warning shots around a camp on the border with Libya to disperse rioting among refugees and local residents.
The tensions Tuesday came the day after four Eritrean refugees died when a fire spread through the Choucha camp near the town of Ras Jdir.
The U.N. High Commissioner for Refugees has moved out its staff because of the unrest, said spokeswoman Sybella Wilkes.
The witness said refugees frustrated at being in the camps so long have blocked a cross-border highway. Local residents are also frustrated that the refugees have stayed so long and want them to leave. The witness spoke on condition of anonymity for security reasons.
Around 3,500 refugees, mainly from Eritrea, Somalia and Ivory Coast, live in the camp.

Libyan government official attends OPEC talks
CAIRO May 24 (Reuters) – A Libyan official representing Muammar Gaddafi’s government is attending a meeting of OPEC’s governing board in Vienna this week, an OPEC delegate said on Tuesday.
The official has told other OPEC governors that Shokri Ghanem will represent Libya at the June 8 OPEC meeting to set production policy, the delegate said. OPEC’s website says the Libyan OPEC governor is Ahmed Mohamed Elghaber.
OPEC’s board of governors began a two-day meeting on Monday at OPEC’s Vienna headquarters. The governors discuss administrative matters and do not set OPEC’s production policy.
The Libyan rebels’ finance and oil minister said last week he hoped to be the one representing Libya at the June OPEC meeting. ID:nLDE74G0QI (Reporting by Amena Bakr, wriiting and additional reporting by Alex Lawler in London; editing by Anthony Barker)

More confirmation of mass rapes in UK The Sunday Times from veteran reporter MARIE HELVIN:
“We were just told to kill,” Abu Bakr said. The teenager said he did not keep track of how many times the four girls in the house had been raped. The soldiers in his unit had stolen 12,000 dinars and jewellery from the family, but he had not received a penny, he said.
“Abu Bakr, who is now held in a #Misurata school with other former Gaddafi soldiers while the rebels decide what to do with them, said he had decided to speak about the rapes after talking to an Islamic cleric.
“#Misratah officials said the ruthless assaults by Abu Bakr and his unit had been repeated across the city. Gaddafi’s soldiers, they said, had engaged in an orgy of rapes that mirrored their destruction of the city’s homes and buildings.
“Nothing would have prepared the women of Misratah or their families for the ferocity of the onslaught that occurred when they were trapped amid the fighting, mostly in districts that were controlled by Gaddafi’s forces for two months.
“The brutality emerged only when the rebels broke through loyalist lines and chased Gaddafi’s troops beyond the city limits. In their wake, they found horror stories. Doctors at Hekma hospital found some of Gaddafi’s soldiers had recorded video footage of rapes on their mobile phones. “They made the girls identify themselves to the camera and show their faces. Then they raped them,” one doctor said. The phones were found on loyalists who had been wounded or killed.
“Another video shows a group of Gaddafi’s soldiers in camouflage uniform breaking down a door and confronting a frightened family – a man, a woman, five girls whose ages range from about five to early 20s, and a boy aged about 7. The soldiers, shouting and waving their guns, stripped the four older girls in front of the family and took them into the next room where they raped the young women. The girls screamed and cried for mercy, calling on Allah. A soldier at one point yells: “Gaddafi is our Allah.”
“The video was found on the phone of a loyalist soldier.
“A Filipina nurse said her best friends had fled to #Tunisia after their four daughters and 13-year-old son were raped repeatedly after the family was trapped in their flat on #Tripoli Street, the scene of some of the heaviest fighting in #Misrata.
“I spoke to their mother,” the nurse said. “She said the boy was terrible. She said, ’Don’t even ask about my girls’.”

BREAKING! Reuters : #Gaddafi willing to leave power under conditions.!English
***************************************************
French to English translation
PARIS (Reuters) – Colonel Muammar Gaddafi would be willing to relinquish power, provided he can stay in Libya, France Soir wrote in its Wednesday edition.
Citing "reliable sources close to the Libyan authorities, "the newspaper said that emissaries of Colonel Qaddafi met for several weeks in the greatest secrecy, Western officials, including French, "each party wanting to end quickly. "
Asked by Reuters, the French Ministry of Foreign Affairs has not confirmed the existence of contacts with French officials.
The Foreign Minister, Alain Juppe, said Tuesday before the House that the coalition military operation in Libya wins success and should be completed within a few months later.
According to France Soir, Colonel Gaddafi was "traumatized by the death of his youngest son and three of her grandchildren in a NATO bombing on May 1 and is tired of being hunted. "
“In this context, Qaddafi was ready to relinquish power, especially as his entourage would now like to turn the page, " he adds.
Muammar Gaddafi would feel “like a caged lion” and suffers from the inability to move, particularly in the desert he loves.
“He spends several hours each day on the internet in Arabic, English or Italian. He wants to know what is said, know what we are talking about, and what is the latest information on the web, " said France Soir.

Breaking: #Gaddafi forces entered #Yefren today killing everyone in the hospital BREAKING CONFIRMED!
URGENT> URGENT<
URGENT NAFUSA – GF entered Yefren today they killed every one in the hospital patients and doctors they are using grad messiles within the city and burining every thing and every one as we speak, there is no way around, the international community has completly failed to protect civilians.
Ghazia and Teket have surrendered with no fight at all. they have subjected them to most horrific odeal they killed men, raped women killed them, mutilated and left them to rot quite few hung themselves and the rest are used as sex slaves
We are in a real war beyond any one comprehension the NTC have to act now. pls call for troops on the ground you can call for islamic arabic UN any thing but the no fly zone needed no compact zone on the ground, we passed this stage we need troops on the ground to stop this.
I do not know what to do or what to say any more, some people are still doubting that this is happening,
CHOPPER put me right: LibyaAlHurra
On Wednesday 25th May 2011, @LibyaAlHurraTV said:
CORRECTION/RETRACTION TO EARLIER REPORT ON #YEFREN: We received an unconfirmed report that the hospital in #Yefren was under siege by #Gaddafi forces and that the city of Yefren was occupied. This was NOT accurate. The situation in Yefren remains as it was, a town under siege from all sides by Gaddafi forces, urgent need of medical supplies. The hospital in #Yefren is controlled by Gaddafi forces, who are using it as a military barracks. We regret the error and will re-double efforts to avoid confusion and to verify the accuracy of all reports before making them public.

The report came from a Dr who was actually referring to a make shift hospital they had used,although his report was very much exaggerated

ALJAZEERA:
South African leader to visit Tripoli in bid to persuade Libyan leader to step down, as NATO steps up bombing campaign.
Zuma headed an AU delegation to Libya last month, but failed to broker a peace deal EPA
South African president Jacob Zuma will visit the Libya next week, for talks officials say will focus on an “exit strategy” for the country’s embattled leader, Muammar Gaddafi.
Zuma visited Tripoli on April 10 as part of an African Union delegation to broker a truce between Gaddafi and his opponents, but a peace plan fell through when the rebels insisted the longtime ruler step down.
“President Zuma will stop over in Tripoli for a discussion on May 30,” the South African presidency said in a statement.
Two sources in the presidency, speaking on condition of anonymity, said the talks would focus on Gaddafi’s “exit strategy”, the AFP news agency reported.
“The meeting is still very much in the planning stages,” the source added. A second official said South Africa was working with Turkey on an exit plan for Gaddafi.
Despite attempting to broker peace in Libya, South Africa voted for a UN resolution authorising a no-fly zone over the country. But Pretoria has also since criticised NATO’s bombing campaign, and said that it does not support regime change in the country.
‘Grave violation’
Further NATO military strikes against targets in Tripoli overnight also drew criticism from Russia on Wednesday.
“We clearly see another grave violation on UN Security Council Resolutions 1970 and 1973,” the Russian foreign ministry said in a statement, adding that the escalation of NATO’s campaign could lead to further violence and cause more suffering.
Russia said western attempts to justify the offensive by pointing to the threats being posed to civilians by Gaddafi’s forces ignored the danger of the regime becoming even more entrenched in its stance.
Russia abstained from the second UN resolution on Libya in a move that allowed international forces to launch their air campaign.
“Air strikes are not stopping the military confrontation between the Libyan parties and only creating more suffering among peaceful civilians,” the foreign ministry said.
The Russian statement added that NATO’s current strategy was “in no way moving us closer toward achieving the overall goal of quickly ending the armed conflict”.
NATO forces have stepped up their bombing campaign in Tripoli in the past two nights, apparently targeting Gaddafi’s Bab Al-Aziziya residential compound.
Two sets of three large blasts occurred late on Tuesday, killing 19 people and injuring 150, according to Libyan state television, which aired footage of at least three young men on stretchers with gaping head wounds and covered with dust.
Led by France, Britain and the United States, NATO warplanes have been bombing Libya for more than two months.
Libyan rebels who are trying to end Gaddafi’s 41-year rule, control the east of the oil-producing country, but the conflict has been deadlocked for weeks.

Transcript of Obama’s Statements on the Middle East at his joint press conference with Cameron.
Posted on May 25, 2011
feb17.info/official-documents/transcrip...
Relevant quotes from the Joint press conference:
Cameron on Arab spring: “We’ve seen some extraordinary things… this is a once in a generation moment to grab hold of.” …. ”this is our issue and this is massively in our interest”
Cameron on Libya: “Gaddafi… must go” ….. ”Idealism without realism does no good for anyone… Democracy is built from the ground up… Real change takes time.”
“The president (Obama) and I agree that we should be turning up the heat in Libya”
Cameron: Britain and US share interest in same outcomes, but “we are doing things in different ways”
Obama: “Gaddafi and his regime need to understand that there will not be a lettup in the pressure that we are bringing.”
Obama: “The fate of these regions are going to be determined by the people themselves”
Obama: “It is going to be difficult to meet the UN mandate of security for the Libyan people as long as Gaddafi is attacking them”
Obama: “I have faith that as long as we maintain the course that we are on, he Gaddafi will step down”
Obama: effective coordination with Libyan people on the ground is necessary.
Cameron: “Of course the UN resolution is not about regime change. The UN resolution is about protecting civilians”
Cameron: It’s hard to understand how to interpret the UN resolution without needing to end Gaddafi’s rule.
EU:
Libya’s busy low-fare Afriqiyah airline, popular for plying African destinations, was hit Tuesday by a European Union assets freeze as the 27-nation bloc stepped up pressure on Moamer Kadhafi.
The airline was added to a list of Libyan firms and individuals targeted by EU sanctions that took effect from Tuesday when published in the bloc’s official journal.
Also added by the journal to an already lengthy list of people was Taher Juwadi, the fourth in command in Kadhafi’s Revolutionary Guard. He will be hit by a travel ban and assets freeze.
Afriqiyah Airways was targeted with an asset freeze on grounds it is a subsidiary of the Libyan African Investment Portfolio, “an entity entirely owned and controlled by the regime,” the official journal said.

France, Seeking Gadhafi’s Swift Fall, Laments U.S. Remove

PARIS—France said Wednesday it is seeking to precipitate the downfall of Libya’s strongman by honing in on more precise military targets and reaching out to dissidents in Tripoli, while lamenting the U.S. lack of involvement in the war against Col. Moammar Gadhafi.
France is intent on using helicopters, possibly in tandem with the U.K., to target some of Col. Gadhafi’s military headquarters in Tripoli and other urban areas, Foreign Minister Alain Juppé said in an interview.
“That’s what we are trying to do with the British,” Mr. Juppé said. “I hope so, although they haven’t confirmed their participation.”

Kadhafi cut off from troops: Canadian general
(AFP) – 1 hour ago
OTTAWA — NATO air strikes have forced Libyan strongman Moamer Kadhafi into hiding, making it increasingly difficult for him to communicate with his troops, a Canadian general said Wednesday.
“We now realize that Kadhafi is forced to hide (from NATO air strikes) and so it’s become more and more difficult for him to communicate with his troops and to order attacks on civilians,” Brigadier-General Richard Blanchette told a briefing.
NATO began to turn up the heat last month with almost daily strikes in and around Tripoli, including an evening air raid on April 30 that the regime says killed one of Kadhafi’s sons and three grandchildren. NATO has not confirmed the deaths.
As alliance jets blasted Libya’s capital on Wednesday, Blanchette said NATO had flown 8,100 missions over Libya, including 3,100 air strikes since the start of the campaign to pressure Kadhafi to quit after 42 years in office.
Canadian fighter jets dropped 240 laser-guided bombs on the country, said the Canadian military’s spokesman.
“What you heard perhaps is that there has been increased pressure in Tripoli,” he said, disputing suggestions bombardments across Libya had also been ramped up.
Libyan rebels scored a major victory mid-May by taking control of the Misrata airport about 200 kilometers east of Tripoli, placing the strategic hub beyond the range of government guns after two months under siege.
“If you look at what happened in Misrata, for example, we’re convinced that we’ve positively influenced the situation, a large number of civilians have been protected… and the Kadhafi regime’s artillery batteries, which were bombarding the city daily, have been pushed back,” Blanchette said.

h2. Tripoli update confirmed news:
Account from contact:
Witnessed by my cousins:
13:00 on Ben Ashour Street, a young man was shot and killed by security. He was reportedly shot in the abdomen. He was taken straight to hospital and later passed away.
The incident sparked mass revolt on the street. Immediately shops shut and my uncle reports no fewer than 300 people took to the streets. A Revolutionary Committee (lejan Tawreya) car was burnt in anger. The crowd continued to grow and chant “Free Libya, Free Libya, Free Libya”. Military police (red berets) fled the area very quickly.
At around 14:30 security trucks were seen at the end of the roads but seemed reluctant to enter the street due to the crowd.
At around 15:00 tundra trucks (katiba) arrived shooting into the air. Various individuals were dragged away and eventually the crowd dispersed.
I was too far away from the district to participate but when I finally arrived I found a charred car in the middle of the street. Was unable to film due to security but will do so as soon as I can (as long as its there tomorrow).
I also found the tent at the young mans house where the family were accepting condolences from people all over the district."
The progressive increase in activity in Tripoli continues.
