Sat eve: Armed reconnaissance patrol over Tripoli by RAF aircraft was tasked by NATO to prosecute a FROG 7 ballistic missile launch vehicle.

The ballistic missile launch vehicle had been seen in hands of Qadhafi’s forces near the former regime’s artillery depot south of Tripoli.

A long range if not very accurate heavy artillery rocket, the weapon represented a significant potential threat to the population of Tripoli

Sat eve: Our aircraft successfully engaged the missile launcher with a Paveway guided bomb.

At sea, the Royal Navy continues to support NATO’s maritime operations, conducting vital surveillance tasks off the Libyan coast.

English Libya TV
Setting the pillars for a great nation
It is due time that (we) ‘free’ citizens of Libya begin to set the pillars for building a great and a prosperous nation. We must all believe in ourselves and in the future of the country. We must live with hope and a desire to pursue with vigor our country’s highest aspirations.
Libya’s faith is no parallel to any other nation (at least in modern history). This unprecedented opportunity to shape our future is the responsibility of each of us. By pursuing the just principles of freedom, human rights, and democracy; we will build the foundation of an unimaginable dignified, free and prosperous nation. Therefore, below are some sample points to bear in mind whilst considering what is needed for Libya:
Social Development is the qualitative change in the structure and framework of a society, which in turn helps the society to better realize its aims and objectives. We

must raise awareness amongst Libyans of their rights and the duty of their duly (future) elected government as well as harnessing the available social energies and skills and resources of Libya towards a socially developed nation. Accordingly this will yield to a greater level of efficiency, quality, productivity, complexity, comprehension, creativity, mastery, enjoyment and accomplishment of the Libyan Society as a whole.
Education is simply the most effective process by which a society could share and transmit and improve its accumulated knowledge, skills and values from one generation to another. Education is the process by which people learn through instruction; i.e. the facilitating of learning by teachers. Teaching is the actions of a real live instructor to impart learning to the student. Learning is preparing learners with specific knowledge, skills, or abilities that can be applied immediately upon completion of an education degree. The current education system is in dire need of reform and development inclusive of the national curriculum, school standards, quality of teacher’s accreditation, and overall educational facilities.
Healthcare is practically nonexistent in Libya. Libyans are in desperate need for a workable and effective Healthcare system whereby the process, equipment and facilities for medical diagnosis, treatment and prevention of disease, illness, injury, and other physical and mental impairments are available to all Libyans. As it is the case for all countries; establishing a reliable and effective healthcare system in Libya will require a robust financing mechanism; well-trained and adequately paid workforce; reliable information and data on which decisions and policies could be made; and well maintained facilities and logistics to deliver quality medicines and technologies.
Infrastructure: Without a proper, organized, efficient and sufficient investment in any nation’s infrastructure; growth will remain limited. Libya’s infrastructure development is not a choice but rather it is the necessity for a modern physical and organizational structure which is needed for a society to operate by providing the facilities crucial for any nation to function and grow. The technical structures that support a society, such as roads, water supply, sewers, electrical grids, telecommunications, and so forth are deeply lacking in Libya.
Therefore, Libya’s future government and Libya’s citizens’ must have the ability to understand, advocate, and direct capital toward durable widespread societal benefits, whilst bearing in mind the future societal growth and development.
Economy: Libya is in dire need of professional, well organized and thorough research of its major economic indicators; production, distribution, and consumption of goods and services. Moreover, Libya requires a clear analysis of its economic activity vis-a-vis the Libyan society, business sector, finance, government, as well as Libya’s education sector, healthcare, laws, politics, religion, and social institutions.
It is crucial that Libya’s economic well being be drawn and planned for in accordance to its microeconomics and macroeconomics indicators; i.e. the behavior of basic elements in the economy, including individual markets and agents (such as consumers and firms, buyers and sellers), and the issues affecting the entire

economy, including unemployment, inflation, economic growth, and monetary and fiscal policy.
Libya must refrain from it’s over dependence on its oil production which is evidentially only at best 25 years reserve. Libya must explore its economic activity in regards to other complementary and effective principles; such as small to medium manufacturing, hospitality and tourism, open market trade, and others.
Therefore, it is crucial to reform Libya’s major financial institutions; i.e. Libyan Central Bank, LIA, Libyan Foreign Bank and others as well as establishing a regulatory body and/or supervisory framework for Libya’s financial sector. A financial sector reform program must be thoroughly planned and expedited, to include major restructuring of banks and financial institutions. Organizing the right employee talent by provide training and certification for financial professionals to bring about positive change in Libya.
Each of us can make a difference in the lives of over 6 million people! We urge you to be involved, help yourself and help your nation. Have faith in yourself and in your country’s future.

The Echo
Kosovo recognises National Transitional Council as government of Libya

Kosovo has recognised the anti-Gaddafi National Transitional Council (NTC) as the sole governing authority in Libya, according to a letter sent on August 27 2011 by Kosovo foreign minister Enver Hoxhaj to the NTC’s Mahmoud Jibril.

Kosovo, whose 2008 declaration of independence is recognised by 80 countries but opposed by Serbia – with the backing of UN Security Council members Russia and China – never won recognition from Libya’s Muammar Gaddafi, who chose to back the Serbian camp.

Hoxhaj’s letter, a copy of which was posted on the Kosovo foreign ministry website, told Jibril: "After a long journey and many efforts of the Libyan people, recognition of

your government, as the only legitimate representative of the Libyan people, derives from faith and our understanding that this government can manage the process to build a united Libya, free and democratic, based on the rule of law, in accordance with high standards of human rights and freedoms.

“We are confident that all the Libyan security will be guaranteed in order to open a new chapter of the great freedom and justice and that this moment of commitment to become sustainable progress,” Hoxhaj said.

Mutassim Gaddafi’s girlfriend tells of the final days of Libyan regime
Mutassim Gaddafi’s former girlfriend, Dutch glamour model Talitha van Zon, talks to Nick Meo about the dying days of the Gaddafi regime.

Filipino servants wearing spotless white jackets mixed his favourite Jack Daniels whisky and coke, and then Mutassim Gaddafi raised his glass and toasted the victory that he was sure was close.
Relaxing in one of his Tripoli homes just over a week ago, during a break from commanding at the front, the fifth son of Libya’s ruler was in a defiant mood. Soon, he boasted to the blonde foreigner sitting with him, he would lead his father’s regime to a victory over the “rats”.

“I was shocked when I met Mutassim. He had changed,” said Miss van Zon. “It was the first time I had seen him since just before the February uprising. He had a beard, he was sitting on a couch strewn with automatic weapons, and he was guarded by unsmiling 16-year-old boys with sub-machine guns.” On the wall behind was a huge

portrait of his father, Muammar Gaddafi.
The hedonist son also had ambitions for power, inspired by his father’s example. “He worshipped his father,” Miss Van Zon said. “He talked a lot about Hitler, Fidel Castro, Hugo Chavez. He liked leaders who had a lot of power. He always said ‘I want to do better than my father’.”

But behind this innocuous facade lay scenes of horror. For this was where Muammar Gaddafi’s secret police kept watch on the traders and residents of the city centre – and beat them if they stepped out of line.

Gaddafi has no army. All are blood thirsty criminals that kill for $s.

Gaddafi has nowhere to run. He’s in Tripoli and I’m 99.98485% sure. 100% sure one of his kids are in the capital pulling the strings.

Times of Malta
Gaddafi ‘raped’ his female bodyguards
‘She refused his advances and he raped her’

Five women who formed part of Muammar Gaddafi’s select unit of female bodyguards are claiming they were raped and abused by the now hunted dictator.
The women have told Benghazi-based psychologist Seham Sergewa they were sexually abused by Col. Gaddafi and his sons before being discarded once they were “bored” with them.
One of the women told Dr Sergewa how she had been blackmailed into joining the bodyguard brigade, once believed to number as many as 400 women, after the regime fabricated a story that her brother was carrying drugs on his way back to Libya from a holiday in Malta.
“She was told ‘you either become a bodyguard or your brother will spend the rest of

his life in prison,’” Dr Sergewa told The Sunday Times.
The woman in question knew exactly what this meant, Dr Sergewa explained, because she had been raped a few weeks before this by Col. Gaddafi.
“She had been expelled from university and was told to seek Gaddafi’s intervention to be reinstated. She was told she had to undergo a medical test that included an HIV test that was administered by an East European nurse.”
Eventually she was taken to meet Col. Gaddafi at his Bab Aziziya compound in Tripoli. She was led to his private quarters where she found him in his pyjamas.
“She could not understand because she saw him as a father figure, leader of the nation, that sort of thing. She refused his advances and he raped her,” Dr Sergewa said.
A pattern emerged in the stories. The women would be first raped by the dictator and then passed on, like used objects, to one of his sons and eventually to high-ranking officials for more abuse before eventually being let go.
It started about a month into the uprising, in March, when Dr Sergewa, a child psychologist by specialisation, was approached by the mothers of three children she was treating with harrowing stories of rape by militiamen.

“At first I thought these were isolated incidents but I kept thinking about it and felt I should try to look into it further,” Dr Sergewa said.
The stories were as grim as they get.
“Women came forward saying they had been raped by as many as 20 soldiers, sometimes in front of their husbands and children. In one case, a girl, around 18 or so, said she was raped in front of her father. She kept telling him not to look at her…”
Many of the victims have been deeply scarred by the abuse, with a number committing suicide or contemplating it.
“Others have signs of psychosomatic stress and develop conditions like bulimia and anorexia.”

Libya moving forward

Libyan freedom fighters embarked on the job of getting the capital up and running again, as a gruesome find near a base of Muammar Gaddafi’s elite troops highlighted the brutality of his regime.
The fighters said they had captured the base of the elite 32 Brigade commanded by Gaddafi’s son Khamis after a NATO airstrike and seven hours of fierce fighting.
In a building nearby local residents showed journalists the charred remains of some 50 people they said were captives killed on Tuesday with rifles and grenades.

LA TIMES
Libya rebels bask in victory and look to the future

The two cousins still couldn’t believe it. Just six months ago, they were working-class guys in the coastal town of Misurata making ends meet inMoammar Kadafi’s Libya. Now they were in their pickup cruising around the capital. A capital they controlled.
Abdul Hamid Issa, 46, was a construction worker, Mohammad Issa, 45, a carpenter. But then came the Arab Spring.

“We are building a new Libya,” said Mohammad. “The sacrifices we made were for the sake of children, so they can live in a prosperous Libya.”
The odds are against them. Many revolutions throughout history have ended badly, especially ones that allowed thousands of weapons to fall into the hands of young men.
The rebels may have put aside their class, regional and tribal differences to defeat Kadafi, but those divisions have not been overcome.

Moussa Ibrahim
Moussa Ibrahim, Gadhafi’s chief spokesman, called AP headquarters in New York late Saturday and said Gadhafi is offering to negotiate with the rebels to form a transitional government. Ibrahim, identified by his voice, said Gadhafi appointed his son al-Saadi to head the negotiations. Ibrahim said he saw Gadhafi on Friday but would say only that he is in Libya. Ibrahim said he himself was in Tripoli.

AP
Rebel fighters have pushed increasingly leaderless regime gunmen to the outskirts of Tripoli on Saturday, as severe shortages of fuel, water and electricity paralyzed the battle-scarred capital and the stench of growing piles garbage filled the air.
The rebels, who now control most of Libya, said they are preparing for an assault on Gadhafi’s hometown of Sirte, his last major bastion, if negotiations with tribal leaders there fail. Rebels deployed in Bin Jawad, a town about 150 kilometers east of Sirte,

said they are waiting for NATO to bomb Scud missile launchers and possible weapons warehouses there.

The infamous golden fist in Gaddafi’s Bab Al Aziziya compound has officially been brought down.

NTC minister: we won’t hand over Lockerbie bomber
Libya will not extradite Abdel Basset al-Megrahi, the man convicted of the 1988 Lockerbie airline bombing, a minister in Libya’s National Transitional Council (NTC) said today.
“We will not give any Libyan citizen to the West,” Mohammed al-Alagi, the NTC justice minister, told reporters in Tripoli.
“Al-Megrahi has already been judged once and he will not be judged again … We do not hand over Libyan citizens, (Muammar) Gaddafi does.”
NEIGHBOURS DESCRIBE WEALTHY RECLUSE
Neighbours of al- Megrahi described a wealthy recluse, constantly surrounded by security guards.
Al-Megrahi, who had been diagnosed with cancer, served only eight years in a

Scottish jail for orchestrating the attack on Pan Am 103, before being released on compassionate grounds in 2009 and flown back to Libya after doctors gave him only months to live.
He was received with a hero’s welcome on his return to Tripoli, and the televised images of cheering crowds angered many relatives of the 270 people killed in the attack, 189 of whom were Americans.
The Obama administration harshly criticised Scotland’s decision to release Megrahi and many U.S. politicians and victims’ families have pressed for his extradition to the United States.
One of Megrahi’s neighbours said he had been whisked away by security guards last week when Tripoli fell to revolutionaries battling forces belonging to Gaddafi, who like Megrahi, has gone into hiding. Libya’s new government is likely to come under pressure to find Megrahi and hand him over.
“The day Tripoli fell, four security men, his private security, took him, his wife and his sons and left. They left in a Mercedes,” said Ahmed Mlaaty, 20, a student and one of Megrahi’s neighbours, standing outside his handsome villa.
As a condition of his release, Megrahi had been obliged to check in regularly with Scottish authorities, who said last week they had lost contact with him in the “dust of battle”.
Neighbours said Megrahi, a former Libyan intelligence operative, owns several properties in the Demeshk area of Tripoli’s Hadba district, one of the smartest in the city.
Megrahi’s properties appeared empty, with a padlock on the gate of one residence

where he was said to receive guests.
Sprays of bougainvillea, tall palm trees and brightly coloured flowers could be seen behind the high walls of the neighbourhood’s large villas.
“He kept himself to himself …. He’s a millionaire. He gets his money from big daddy (Gaddafi). People keep their distance. They don’t want to get into state affairs as it will only bring trouble,” Mlaaty said.
Another neighbour who had sat with Megrahi at local functions but had never spoken to him said he appeared a reserved, well-turned-out man.
Most neighbours said Megrahi appeared unwell, but there is controversy over his severity of his condition — diagnosed by Scottish doctors as terminal prostate cancer — and whether it warranted his release.
“I saw him many times, he was in a wheelchair, he looked very ill, very thin. He always had security, more than one car. He never went anywhere without them,” said senior policeman Ali Ahmed al-Khudair, 40, who said he resented the security patrols that accompanied Megrahi’s arrival in the neighbourhood.

“He wasn’t a millionaire before, but he is now. He came here after he was released from prison. Then he bought these houses. This is one of Libya’s top neighbourhoods,” he added.
Another neighbour said Megrahi caused no one any harm, and said his complicity in the bombing had not been proved.
“Everyone associates him with Lockerbie, but I’m not sure he was involved,” said Noora Abdul Hadi, 27, a doctor.
Attiya al-Usta, 77, said he had seen Megrahi just before the February uprising against Gaddafi’s 42-year-rule.
“When he came back from Europe he looked ill. But recently he looked fit and neat. I saw him just before the revolution. He didn’t look ill at all. He was sitting in a chair on his balcony. He looked 100 percent.”

Revolutionaries reject Gaddafi’s offer to talk
Revolutionaries today rejected an offer by Muammar Gaddafi to negotiate and said they have captured the eastern town of Bin Jawwad, forcing regime loyalists to flee after days of fighting.
The opposition fighters have threatened to advance westward on the coastal road toward Gadhafi’s hometown of Sirte if tribal leaders there don’t agree to surrender peacefully. The fighting in the east comes as the revolutionaries consolidated their hold on the capital, Tripoli, some 560 kilometers to the west of Bin Jawwad.
Mohammed al-Rajali, a spokesman for the revolutionaries on the eastern frontlines, said they captured Bin Jawwad at about 10 p.m. last night and deployed forces in the

city after days of fighting. He said Gaddafi’s forces fled westward and were likely to join regime forces in Sirte, the headquarters of Gaddafi’s tribe and his last major bastion of support.
The opposition has threatened to assault the city, which has been heavily targeted by NATO airstrikes, if tribal leaders there refuse a peaceful surrender.
With Gaddafi on the run, his spokesman Moussa Ibrahim called The Associated Press yesterday to say Gaddafi is still in Libya and offering to have his son, al-Saadi, lead talks with the revolutionaries on forming a transitional government. In the past, Gaddafi referred to the revolutionaries as “thugs” and “rats.”
Ibrahim said he saw Gaddafi Friday in Libya but would not give more details.
Mahmoud Shammam, the information minister in the revolutionary Council, rejected the offer.
“I would like to state very clearly, we don’t recognize them. We are looking at them as criminals. We are going to arrest them very soon,” he said at a news conference.

“Talking about negotiations is a daydream for what remains of the dictatorship.”

How the special forces helped bring Gaddafi to his knees
British combat jets pounded Libyan forces in a series of strikes over the weekend targeting command and control bunkers and missile sites.
The attacks took place on the southern outskirts of Tripoli, a few miles north east of the international airport, where a brigade headquarters and a helicopter facility was based.
The targets were destroyed with Paveway IV satellite guided bombs prior to a secondary attack on a BM21 Grad rocket launcher west of the port of Ras Lanuf, which had been earlier spotted by a Nato reconnaissance patrol.

“Saif’s Anglophile views should not be discounted as a stunt cooked up by his newly hired PR firm. It was only last year that he completed his doctorate in Governance at London School of Economics.

He is imbued with unremittingly liberal ideas about the future of his country and the redistribution of its estimated £65bn in energy-wealth profits.

A desire to turn Libya into a modern democracy based on the rule of law is expressed at every opportunity, with Saif always highlighting economic progress over dogma.

Saif’s reforming record to date is certainly impressive.”

Exhausted Libyan Freedom fighter friends tell of battles

AL-JAMIL, Libya — They fought on the front in west Libya and in battles in Tripoli, and now they are trying to take the south. Marwan and Elias are both exhausted but upbeat — and determined to finish the job.
The two friends, proudly declaring themselves to be citizens of the Libyan revolution, recount the fierce firefights that preceded the rebel seizure of strongman Moamer Kadhafi’s Bab al-Aziziya compound in the capital.
But upon arriving in the small town of Al-Jamil, close to Libya’s border with Tunisia, the pair are at a loss for words to describe their accomplishments.
“It tastes just like the aroma of freedom,” shouts Marwan Meyouf, 30, amid cries of joy and celebratory machine-gun and cannon fire.

Almost a week after the final battle for Tripoli began, there is growing concern about the increasingly difficult living conditions in the Libyan capital.
Many people are without water and electricity, food is scarce and there are growing sanitation problems.
Amid warnings from the United Nations that millions in the city are at risk – the rebels say they’re trying to increase the supply of fuel – and to deliver water and medicine.
The BBC’s John Simpson has been to visit Tripoli Airport, where he discovered a part of Col Goddafi’s previous luxurious lifestyle.

Libyan forces close in on Gaddafi’s home town
TRIPOLI (Reuters) – Libyan forces closed in on Muammar Gaddafi’s home town on Sunday, vowing to seize it by force if negotiations failed, and their leaders ruled out any talks with the deposed ruler.
Gaddafi’s foes were advancing on his birthplace of Sirte, which straddles the east-west coastal road, but one commander said “liberating” the city could take more than 10 days.

#Libya: These amazing freedom fighters have done what previous generations & the rest of the world didn’t do. They toppled #Gaddafi.

Independent:
Yesterday, The Independent on Sunday learned that the rebel military commander behind the successful assault on Tripoli had fought in Afghanistan alongside the Taliban and was an Islamist terror suspect interrogated by the CIA. Abdelhakim Belhadj, the newly appointed commander of the Tripoli Military Council is a former emir of the Libyan Islamic Fighting Group (LIFG) – banned by Britain and the US as a terrorist organisation after the 9/11 attacks.
The 45-year-old first went to Afghanistan in the late 1980s, where he fought against occupying Soviet forces. Arrested in Malaysia in 2004, he was interrogated by the CIA

in Thailand before being extradited to Libya, where he was released from prison last year; he has since renounced violence. Mr Belhadj has become a hero of the Libyan revolution – and ally of the West.
A former comrade-in-arms insisted the rebel leader was not a future enemy in waiting. Noman Benotman, once a senior LIFG figure, and now senior analyst at the Quilliam think-tank, said: “I strongly believe he is capable of rationalising even the rogue elements within the rebels. He will do everything possible to prevent chaos.”

It’s very sad, as these Gadaffi militia were retreating in defeat they butchered 11 young men who were guarding the checkpoint at al harsha

My dad is there now, he says it’s 11 young men, blood everywhere and I can hear men crying in the background, la hawla wall quwata ila bilah

my father is there right now, I was on the phone to him and can hear the men crying in background, he is on the Zawiya council

yes Zawiya, they were retreating when they committed the atrocity.

yea right now bro, my dad is there at harsha, they just discovered the bodies, blood still fresh. So sad wallah

Riyadh al Hatheri, brother of Khalid al Hatheri confirmed as one of the 13 killed by Katayeb in harsha checkpoint, may Allah grant him Janna

He was a close friend of my father, his whole family fighting with the thuwaar mashallah, men like these are real heroes!

the Katayeb were retreating from zuwara, harsha checkpoint is only 10km from our farm in Zawiya

harsh is outskirts of zawiya, the gadaffi troops were retreating when they came across checkpoint and massacred the men there

“Since February we have been shut down. We are now planning to restart the

complex. We are ready to start, “Nagib Burweiss” general manager for the refinery at the Ras Lanuf Oil and Gas Processing Company (RASCO) told Reuters in an interview late yesterday in its offices in Benghazi.

Libya: Gaddafi Forces Suspected Of Executing Detainees

(Tripoli) – Evidence indicates that forces loyal to Muammar Gaddafi killed at least 17 detainees in a makeshift prison as rebel forces began advancing on the neighborhood of Gargur in Tripoli around August 21, 2011, Human Rights Watch said today. According to one witness who survived the killing, Libyan security forces shot the detainees at the Al-Amal al-Akhdar building belonging to the Libyan Internal Security

service.

Human Rights Watch has also documented evidence of suspected arbitrary executions of dozens of other civilians, including medical professionals, by Gaddafi loyalists over the past week.

“Torture was rife in Gaddafi’s prisons but to execute detainees days before they would have been freed is a sickening low in the government’s behavior,” said Sarah Leah Whitson, Middle East and North Africa director at Human Rights Watch said. “The evidence we have been able to gather so far strongly suggests that Gaddafi government forces went on a spate of arbitrary killing as Tripoli was falling.”

Separately, on August 26, Human Rights Watch found 18 bodies rotting in small groups near the Internal Security building in a dry riverbed between Gargur and Bab al-Aziziya, Gaddafi’s former compound. Witnesses told Human Rights Watch that Gaddafi forces had killed them at different times in the week prior to August 25, when Libyan rebels seized control of the area. It is unclear if any of those killed were armed

at the time of their death, but Human Rights Watch observed two among the 18 bodies had their hands tied behind their backs and two were wearing the green scrubs of Libyan doctors and nurses. Witnesses told Human Rights Watch that several others were unarmed.

Human Rights Watch also documented 29 other bodies found in and around a makeshift field clinic outside Bab al-Aziziya where there were signs that Gaddafi loyalists had been present. Four bodies were found lying on beds in the clinic itself, and several more were lying on cushions in and around what looked like military tents. Volunteers took the bodies into trucks. Human Rights Watch inspected one corpse with a gunshot wound to the head, and one body with his hands tied behind his back. Khalid Kofran, 35, who volunteered on the team that was removing the bodies, said he had seen at least three or four corpses with their hands and legs tied. Human Rights Watch has not collected sufficient information to date to indicate who may be responsible for the deaths, and there is no forensic analysis yet.
“Just Finish Them Off”
Human Rights Watch interviewed three people with direct knowledge of the execution of detainees, including one survivor. Seventeen of the bodies were taken to the Matiga Hospital in Tripoli on August 24, according to medical professionals who inspected them.
On August 25, Human Rights Watch also examined two corpses that were still in place at the Al-Amal al-Akhdar Internal Security building in Gargur where the suspected execution of detainees took place.

Osama Hadi Mansur Al-Swayi was one of the survivors of the massacre at the Internal Security building. He was one of approximately 25 people who were held there. He told Human Rights Watch:
The Khamis Brigade took me on August 19. One of the guards in the house where they took me told me that if I am innocent, Khamis could solve my problems. It happened at 2 p.m. on Monday August 21. We started hearing the rebels yelling Allahu Akbar. We were so happy, and we knew we would be released soon… Snipers were upstairs; then they came downstairs and started shooting. An old man and another person were shot outside our door. The rest of us ran out because they opened the door and said, “Quickly, quickly, go out.” They told us to lie down on the ground. When I opened my eyes, I saw three dark men. One soldier gave the order, “Just finish them off,” but I don’t know who it was. There were four of them who fired at us: one was an old man with a grey beard, and three were dark-skinned, maybe from the south. I was near the corner and got hit in the right hand, the right foot and the right shoulder. In one instant, they finished off all the people with me. What I saw I haven’t ever seen even in a movie. No one was breathing. Some of them had head wounds.

On August 26, Human Rights Watch also found two additional bodies in the closet under the stairs in the Al-Amal al-Akhdar Internal Security building where Al-Swayi said he had been detained for two days. Al-Swayi told Human Rights Watch that two men had also been killed on the ground floor where he was held just before the massacre, not in the courtyard. It could not be confirmed that these corpses were of the same men. There were dozens of spent cartridges and bloodstains on the ground in the outdoor courtyard where he said the majority of the detainees had been killed.

A medical professional who inspected the 17 bodies that were transferred from the Internal Security building to Matiga Hospital said that about half of the entrance wounds were to the back of the head, and the rest were to the chest and face. He also noted recent abrasions and lacerations on the ankles and wrists suggesting that they had been cuffed. The hospital administrator introduced Al-Swayi to Human Rights Watch as a survivor from the same massacre from which they received the 17 corpses.
Under international humanitarian law, violence to life and person, in particular murder of all kinds of civilians and persons not engaged in combat such as detainees is always strictly prohibited and constitutes a war crime. This is irrespective of whether the conflict is an international or non-international conflict.
“If he is a civilian, still kill him”
In addition, near the Internal Security building, Human Rights Watch inspected 18 bodies in situ rotting in a dry riverbed between Gargur and Bab al-Aziziya and

interviewed five eyewitnesses.
In a suspected extra judicial execution by Gaddafi forces, Salah Saeed Kikli, 52, a medical laboratory engineer, told Human Rights Watch that he saw Gaddafi fighters in green military uniform kill two unarmed men, including one in medical scrubs, at a checkpoint by his home on August 24 around 11 a.m. after the fighters had previously approached him and threatened to kill him.
I was fixing my car. An African came to my corner of the street and asked if I was civilian or military. I said I live here. There was another black man behind who said, “if he is civilian, still kill him. No problem…” Five or ten minutes later… I saw them taking a doctor and another guy from an ambulance, and I saw them shoot the two men. The military guys stole the petrol from the ambulance… The ambulance said “February 17 Misrata” on it. February 17 is a sign of support for the rebels.…The men did not resist at all. They were medical people.
Another witness to the same incident, Juma’ Al-Murayd, 31, told Human Rights Watch that two people with dark skin and in civilian clothes were driving the ambulance when they dumped three bodies next to his house on the dry riverbed between Bab al-Aziziya and Gargur. Human Rights Watch inspected the three bodies with Kikli, across from Al-Murayd’s house, two of whom were wearing the green medical scrubs that

doctors and nurses wear in Libya. Kikli said that the third body, dressed in civilian clothes, was that of the driver.

Al-Murayd also said that separately he had witnessed other Gaddafi fighters kill three more civilians on August 23 at a checkpoint across the riverbed from his home, after having beaten them with the butt of a Kalashnikov. “One of them was just driving his car, unarmed,” he told Human Rights Watch. Human Rights Watch inspected five bodies dumped in the riverbed near the spot Al-Murayd identified as the location of the checkpoint where the three men were executed. Human Rights Watch does not have evidence to date of how the other two were killed. All five bodies were dressed in civilian clothes.

In another incident in the same area, Siraj Salah Kikli, 18, told Human Rights Watch that he witnessed a policeman from Dam el-Merkezi kill two people and then spoke to a third who survived the shooting. He said that the policeman, whom he knew, was wearing civilian clothes and a military flak jacket. He and another man had forced the three victims to get out of their vehicle. “They didn’t beat them,” Siraj Kikli recalled, “they just shot them straight away.” The bodies were removed from the site on August 25.

Adel Muhammad Abdulgader, 36, also said he witnessed Gaddafi forces kill two men

in a vehicle stopped at a checkpoint, ostensibly because one of the men was wearing a rebel hat, which the forces took and burned. He said that the incident took place on August 22 or 23 at 7 a.m.
“These incidents, which may represent only a fraction of the total, raise grave questions about the conduct of Gaddafi forces in the past few days, and whether it was systematic or planned,” said Whitson. “If these incidents are proven to be extra judicial killings they are serious war crimes and those responsible should be brought to justice.”

Reasonable explanation for water shortage in #Tripoli thenational.ae/news/worldwide…

READ THIS:
Explanation for water shortage in Tripoli:
The National AE
Libya needs water despite Qaddafi’s Great Manmade River
Rumours have swirled about the former regime sabotaging Tripoli’s main source of water in Jebel Al Hasawinah, and even the poisoning of an underground reservoir further up the line.
Shamsiddin Ben Ali, a spokesman for the NTC, said yesterday that facilities had been

sabotaged at Ash Shuwayrif and Sidi as Sayd.
But an official in the Great Manmade River Authority in Benghazi, Abdussalam Jehawi, said yesterday that the crisis was an unavoidable result of the battle to seize the capital last week. A combination of power outages, attacks on staff manning the water network and a backup reservoir being held hostage have led to the crisis.
The problems came within the first day of the battle. Tripoli had an 18-hour power outage that stopped pipeline pumps, cutting off the supply of new water.
But when power began flickering on again, the main station supplying Tripoli from Jebel Al Hasawinah was attacked by what his team described as African mercenaries and Qaddafi loyalists. The main supply of the water is near the city of Sabha, which is still under the former regime’s control.
“Our staff were terrorised,” said Mr Jehawi, a board member of the authority. The loyalists “stole their four-wheel drive vehicles, used machine guns, took all their food”.
Pumps were switched off and staff could not get back inside to restart them.
To make matters worse, a site critical to the backup plan was also under the control of Qaddafi fighters.
The system was set up so that engineers can supply Tripoli with water from the east. But the facility where engineers can turn the water on is inside Sirte, Col Qaddafi’s

hometown and one of the last two holdouts of soldiers against the rebels.
If NTC fighters can take control of the city, the Great Manmade River can begin supplying Tripoli with 250,000 cubic metres of water per day – enough to cover about half the demand.
“This could be taken care of soon if Sabha and Sirte are taken by the rebels,” Mr Jehawi said. “Until then, there is not much we can do.”

Libya: New evidence of atrocities by Gaddafi’s forces

In Libya, there is new evidence of atrocities carried out by Colonel Gaddafi’s forces in their final days of power.
Human Rights Watch says it has uncovered dozens of arbitrary executions of civilians.

Just outside Tripoli, the BBC has filmed the aftermath of an apparent massacre in a military base with testimony from men who escaped – forced to leave relatives behind.

Libyan rebel fighters are closing in on Muammar Gaddafi’s hometown of Sirte.

The city — Gaddafi’s birthplace and one of the last still held by his men — is now the main target for the fighters allied to the National Transitional Council.

Meanwhile, in Tripoli, signs of normal life are returning. Citizens are venturing out of their homes and some shops are opening.

But there have also been reports of mass abuses against civilians taking place.

And the whereabouts of the Libyan leader are still unknown.

CNN finds Lockerbie bomber comatose, near death, family says

Tripoli, Libya (CNN)– Lockerbie bomber Abdel Basset al-Megrahi is comatose, near death and likely to take secrets of the attack on Pan Am Flight 103 to his grave.
CNN found al-Megrahi under the care of his family in his palatial Tripoli villa Sunday, surviving on oxygen and an intravenous drip. The cancer-stricken former Libyan intelligence officer may be the last man alive who knows precisely who in the Libya government authorized the bombing, which killed 270 people.

As we were about to leave, one of the staff told us there was a nanny who worked for Hannibal Gadhafi who might speak to us. He said she’d been burnt by Hannibal’s wife, Aline.
I thought he meant perhaps a cigarette stubbed out on her arm. Nothing prepared me

for the moment I walked into the room to see Shwygar Mullah.
At first I thought she was wearing a hat and something over her face. Then the awful realization dawned that her entire scalp and face were covered in red wounds and scabs, a mosaic of injuries that rendered her face into a grotesque patchwork.

Tearing down the fist of oppression
Residents of Tripoli and revolutionary fighters continued to dismantle Gaddafi’s Bab al-Aziziya compound over the weekend. One group unbolted and removed the iconic “Fist Crushing a US fighter jet” statue in front of a salivating group of TV cameras hoping to create a moment similar to the tearing down of Saddam in Baghdad.
Shouts of Allah akhbar rang out and victory rounds from all sorts of weaponry including large caliber anti aircraft cannons were fired high into the sky to land who knows where. In the courtyard in front, men took turns with a spray can covering the hated green walls with anti-gaddafi graffiti. Flags were burned while behind the the graffiti covered statue, looters continued ransacking the compound for anything of worth. Three blacked corpses of loyalist fighters and thousands of shell casings lay strew around the grounds, remains of the battle three days before.

Gaddafi’s girl executioner: Nisreen, 19, admits shooting 11 rebel prisoners, now she is shackled to hospital bed awaiting justice
Nisreen Mansour al Forgani is a pretty 19-year-old. She was also a serial killer for Colonel Muammar Gaddafi.
Yesterday, in a heavily guarded room at the Matiga military hospital in Tripoli, she

admitted to the Mail that she had executed as many as 11 suspected rebel prisoners in the days leading up to the fall of the Libyan capital last week. Shot at point-blank range, in cold blood.
One of thousands of girls and young women recruited by Gaddafi’s all-female militias, Nisreen is now a prisoner of the rebels and in fear of her life. Yet despite her killings, it is impossible not to feel pity for her.

Her parents split up when she was a child, and Nisreen did not like her father’s new wife so she went to live with her mother.
One of her mother’s friends, a woman called Fatma al Dreby, was the leader of the female branch of Gaddafi’s Popular Guards militia – and this, it seems, was the fateful factor.

Last year, Nisreen left college intending to look after her mother, who was sick with cancer. Instead, Fatma recruited her for the Popular Guards.
The family protested, but Fatma would not be swayed. Nisreen was young and pretty – just the type they wanted. ‘There were about 1,000 girls from all over Libya,’ Nisreen recalled of their training camp in Tripoli. ‘I was there with a girl called Faten, whom I knew from college.’

‘Fatma had an office at the 77 Brigade base and there was a room with a bed next door. One day, she summoned me and put me in that room by myself. Mansour Dau, who was the commander of 77 Brigade, then came in and shut the door.’
He raped her.

An aircraft engineer trained in Daytona was not the first person I expected to meet returning to the Rixos Hotel in Tripoli.

Najib was a wearing a baseball cap in rebel colours and had an AK47 hanging from his shoulder.
“Were you staying here?” he asked.
I told him I’d spent 6 weeks at the Rixos under the oppressive restrictions of the Gaddafi regime earlier this year.
Then he saw the Sky News stickers plastered all over the cases of broadcasting equipment I had come to recover.
“Ah, Sky News! We watch you on the roof from across the way, then we watched you on our television downstairs.”

Anger simmers among pro-Gaddafi Libyans in Tripoli
In a part of Tripoli known for its loyalty to Muammar Gaddafi, two men vented their fury over the fall of the Libyan leader, shouting abuse at the media and calling journalists liars, traitors and spies.
The tens of thousands of jubilant Libyans who cheered the rebels on their march to the capital have stolen the media limelight. But among others in the city, anger simmers over the rebels’ successful revolt against Gaddafi’s 42-year-rule.
“You media don’t tell the truth, you’re all traitors, spies,” shouted a taxi driver, his face contorted with anger, not caring that nearby were armed and zealous rebels.
“You sold our country out,” shouted another man who came to join him, before a deafening crack prompted the shoppers in the busy street to duck and flinch.
“Look at this,” shouted the taxi driver, pointing at the young rebel across the street who had fired an anti-aircraft gun into the air.
“This is what our country has come to,” he said.

France reopened its embassy in the Libyan capital Tripoli today after it had been closed for the last six months, a foreign ministry spokesman said.
“Our embassy in Tripoli has reopened today,” Bernard Valero said in a press briefing.
Meanwhile, a spokesman for the Maltese Ministry of Foreign Affairs said the Maltese embassy in Tripoli was never closed, but it was manned by locally-engaged staff over the past few months.
A decision on the return of the Maltese staff will be taken as the situation in Tripoli improves.
Malta, however, intends to keep open a liaison office set up two months ago in Benghazi.

Germany seeks to turn new leaf over Libya
Germany Monday sought to turn a new leaf by stressing its readiness to help with reconstruction and aid in Libya after failing to provide military assistance to the campaign against Moamer Kadhafi.
Chancellor Angela Merkel will attend an international conference on Libya’s future in Paris on Thursday, her spokesman Steffen Seibert said Monday.
“We will do everything we can” to provide humanitarian assistance to the Libyan people in the wake of the toppling of the Kadhafi regime, he told a news conference.
“The German government is happy the rebels have been victorious,” he added.

Ex-Gaddafi ‘Nun’ Reveals Perverse Regime Secrets (Translated)

An ex-Gaddafi Revolutionary Committee member, or what he likes to call “nun,” speaks out of the disturbing, sick and ruthless behavior Muammer Gaddafi has committed in the last four decades. Gaddafi called many of his female personal guards or members nuns because he usually refused for them to get married and have children. Her stories are extremely disturbing, but shed a necessary light on what this evil demon has done for years from raping young boys and girls to kidnappings and murders. Must watch from start to finish.

The NTC has been nominating members for a new government, but there is public resistance to the appointments. Libyans have held protests within the country accusing the NTC of not being transparent enough.
Andrew Simmons, reporting from a protest in Misrata, said: “They the protesters say the old guard of the Gaddafi regime are far too prominent in the list of people issued so far.
“They are also insisting there should be new faces for a new Libya.
“A lot of this is due to communications and the way the National Transitional Council has been concentrating so much on diplomacy and the economy, and maybe not looking inwards enough.”

Muammar Gaddafi, who has not been seen since rebels took over the Libyan capital of Tripoli a week ago, is still a threat to the country and the world, the chairman of the National Transitional Council (NTC) said on Monday.
Speaking at a meeting in Doha, Qatar, of defence ministers from countries supporting the insurgency against Gaddafi’s rule, NTC Chairman Mustafa Abdel Jalil called on NATO to keep supporting the movement.
“I call for continued protection from NATO and its allies from this tyrant,” Abdel Jalil said.
The NTC, which is hunting Libya’s deposed leader and pushing to take over his hometown of Sirte east of Tripoli, said on Saturday it had no firm information on his whereabouts. It has offered a $1.3 million reward and amnesty from prosecution for anyone who kills or captures Gaddafi.

Key prison records and other documentation are at risk of being lost as sites remain unsecure and documents destroyed or taken away in Libya, Amnesty International warned today.
In a press release Amnesty International said:
“The Transitional National Council (NTC) authorities must protect such evidence where it is found or collect it in a central repository for safe-keeping. They should also appeal to those individuals who have taken any such documents to return them to the authorities as soon as possible.”

Unit led by Gaddafi’s son carried out Tripoli massacre-HRW

A military unit commanded by one of Muammar Gaddafi’s sons appears to have been responsible for the summary execution of dozens of detainees in a warehouse near Tripoli last week, a human rights organisation said on Monday.
Three days later the warehouse, which had been used as a prison, was set on fire but the cause was unknown, Human Rights Watch said.
Since the fall of Gaddafi just over a week ago, evidence has emerged of numerous killings. Dozens of bodies, some from Gaddafi’s troops and others of detainees held by the ousted government, have been discovered in the Libyan capital.

Human Rights Watch said it inspected the charred skeletal remains of about 45 bodies, still smouldering, on Saturday. The remains were spread throughout the warehouse in the Khalida Ferjan neighbourhood in Salahaddin, south of Tripoli, adjoining the Yarmouk military base.
At least two more corpses were lying outside, unburned.

Saadi Gaddafi locked up his best pal for rejecting his gay advances

Tyrant’s son Al-Saadi Gaddafi threw his best friend in jail for turning down his gay advances.
Reda Thawargi said he was locked up for two and-a-half years before he was released and Saadi begged him for his support to quell the uprising.
Rebels who raided married Saadi’s opulent mansion this week found gay porn DVDs in his office.
The sprawling property near Tripoli has its own football pitch and outside disco, as well as an outhouse with three cell-like rooms and a caged building where Saadi is said to have set dogs on people who displeased him.
Reda said: “Saadi is gay. He tried to have sex with me but I refused. I only like girls. So he threw me in military jail.”
Reda was a close friend of the dictator’s son for 13 years.
They both played football for Tripoli’s Al Ahli football club and spent two years together in Italy drinking and partying.
However, Saadi became infuriated by Reda’s refusal to sleep with him and put him on trial in a Libyan court – but without a specific charge. Reda said: “The judge told me, ‘if Saadi says you have done wrong, then you must go to prison’.”
He was eventually freed in February.
Reda added: “When the uprising began Saadi called me to ask me to go on state TV to support him because of my fame as a footballer. I refused and hid away.
“I want to be the first to punch him now. If you find him, tell me.”

Libyan war ‘not over’ as Gadhafi family members flee conflict

But instability simmered as family members of Moammar Gadhafi fled across the border to Algeria and foreign military leaders meeting in Qatar underscored that the “war in Libya is not over.”
Gadhafi’s wife and three children of Moammar Gadhafi are in Algeria, the nation’s Foreign Ministry said. His wife Safia, his daughter Aisha, two of his sons, Hannibal and Mohamed and their children, came there via the Libyan border.

Noit
We reported on the convoy of Mercedes cars few days ago.
This was confirmed by eye witnesses.
We reported on shooting at the border as it happened.
Algeria denied our reports at that time.
Official Algerian Government report says they crossed border at 8.45 this morning.
Who knows what the truth is?
Maybe interviewing the staff would shed some light on day of departure, although G
family could of course also have been in hiding in different places for a few
days…..
Personally I think the Algerian government is less than truthful concerning the arrival date of the G clan into Algeria.
I am convinced they crossed the border last Friday, (today=Monday).
Friday is when the shoot out happened.
Clarification:
We also talked to a Dr. who saw jr. Senussi on Thursday evening in hospital and who
told us that they ( meaning jr Senussi and co) were waiting for more people, Khamis
was mentioned at that point), to escape Tripoli. The word was spread that they would
be going to Sabha / Sirte, but that might have been distraction….
There was also talk about Khamis going to Bani Walid at that time.
Must have gone via Bani Walid to Algeria.
A convoy of Mercedes cars was spotted by several eye witnesses.
Must have been quite a group of people. We roughly estimated that around 30 – 40
people were about to flee in that convoy.
Knowing the way Algeria reacts my bet would be that Algeria is never going to admit
voluntarily that ICC wanted Gaddafi’s would have entered, so IF those members of
the G family were amongst those that crossed the border, Algeria would stay quiet
about that and only mention those that are NOT on the ICC wanted list.

The new rulers of Libya, the Transitional National Council (TNC), have arrived in town. I know this because they just kicked me out of my painfully acquired hotel room when they took over the whole of the eighth floor of the Radisson Blu Hotel where I am staying.
My eviction did not elicit much sympathy from other journalists, many packed two or three to a room, when I explain I have been given another room and have it all to myself. The previous occupant, who had not done much clearing up before he departed, left behind an Omani military yearbook and some torn-up notebooks. He may have been one of the elusive group of Arab military officers who gave technical advice to the rebels, assuring their victory.

Muammar Gaddafi’s son Khamis reportedly visited prisoners hours before they were massacred

SURVIVORS of a massacre in which at least 55 Libyan prisoners were herded into a barn, machine-gunned and set alight by regime loyalists have described how one of Colonel Muammar Gaddafi’s sons visited the site last week, hours before the order was given to execute the men.
“Khamis Gaddafi was here just before the killings,” said Mustafa Abdullah El Hitri, a 27-year-old lawyer who escaped death by hiding under the bodies of his friends and later fleeing with the help of a guard.
“I saw him standing in the middle of the yard with his security detail and two commanders as I was taken from a prison van and marched into the barn. He was

giving orders to his men."
The atrocity, one of the worst documented during Libya’s revolution so far and part of an escalating trend of vengeance and retribution, may include as many as 140 victims once two suspected mass graves at the scene have been excavated.
It occurred early on Tuesday evening in a yard used to store farm machinery in the Yarmouk area of Tripoli’s Salahuddin district, adjacent to the capital’s largest military headquarters, “Leewa 32”, the command centre run by Khamis.

Sky News correspondent Alex Crawford’s husband complains of sexism
The husband of Sky News correspondent Alex Crawford has defemded her against ‘’those who tried to pigeonhole her as a woman, wife and mother’’

Ms Crawford, whose highly commended reporting from Libya has made her something of a star, bridles at being labelled ‘’a female reporter’‘, Richard Edmondson said.
Also guaranteed to make her angry is the suggestion ’’she does not care much about her children’’, he said.
‘’Tell her that a woman journalist should not be going to war zones, especially when there are kids back home to cuddle,’’ he wrote in The Independent. ‘’It would be a swifter end than strychnine.’’
Ms Crawford, who entered Tripoli on Sunday night with the rebel convoy, told the MediaGuardian Edinburgh International Television Festival yesterday that ’’it’s frankly really insulting and very, very sexist’’ when people tell her she should not be doing the job she does.
Speaking live by satellite link from Libya, she said: ’’I’m working alongside today the chief correspondent who’s a man who’s got three children and there will be no-one who says ‘what do you think you’re doing, how awful, what are you doing to your children?‘’’

Dissent in Libya against NTC nominations

The NTC has been nominating members for a new government, but there is public resistance to the appointments. Libyans have held protests within the country accusing the NTC of not being transparent enough.

Al Jazeera’s Andrew Simmons, reporting from a protest in Misrata, said: "They the protesters say the old guard of the Gaddafi regime are far too prominent in the list of people issued so far.

“They are also insisting there should be new faces for a new Libya.”

Zimbabwe army panic over Libya revolt

Robert Mugabe’s regime is worried about events in Libya and over the weekend got Zimbabwe National Army Commander Lieutenant-General Philip Valerio Sibanda to issue what was meant to be a re-assuring statement that Mugabe would not be toppled by rebel forces as happened in Libya.
In an interview after a passout parade at Imbizo Barracks on the outskirts of Bulawayo yesterday, Lt-Gen Sibanda said the rebellion in North Africa, particularly Libya, was not a threat to Zimbabwe.
“Certain things have happened. There are threats of divisions within the African Union over events like in Libya where people are fighting to further their own interests. It is such events that show weaknesses of organisations like the AU when they fail to deal with rebels with one voice and with a common goal as a continent.

But amidst the bravado, his speech betrayed a deepening fear within the regime that events in the North of Africa where repressive governments in Egypt, Tunisia and now Libya have been toppled might be replicated in Zimbabwe. Discussions by Zimbabweans on social networking sites show a desire for similar rebellion.
Last week the ZANU PF side of the coalition government decided to expel the Libyan ambassador in Harare, Taher Elmagrahi. This follows his defection to rebels that have taken over the Libyan capital Tripoli and ousted long time dictator Muammar Gaddafi.

Foreign and Commonwealth Office:
UK preparatory team in Tripoli
FCO diplomatic and technical staff are now on the ground in Tripoli as part of preparations for a wider diplomatic presence.
A Foreign Office spokesperson said:
“The Prime Minister announced on 22nd August that the UK would establish a British diplomatic presence in Tripoli as soon as it is safe and practical to do so.

A small FCO-led team, consisting of diplomatic and technical staff, is now on the ground in Tripoli as part of the preparations for that wider diplomatic presence. This reflects the recent military progress which means that some members of the NTC have already moved to Tripoli.
We remain in regular consultation with the NTC about our plans. Notwithstanding the deployment of a preparatory team, no date has been set for the opening of the British Embassy. This will depend on political and security developments over the coming days."

Foreign Secretary William Hague has sent his best wishes to mark the end of the month of Ramadan.
Speaking today the Foreign Secretary said:
“I am delighted to send my best wishes to Muslims in Britain and across the world as they mark the end of the month of Ramadan.
Eid ul fitr celebrates the completion of a month of fasting, prayer, devotion and charitable giving. It is a fitting time to remember all those who are in need around the world, in particular those who are struggling to build a better future for their societies in the Middle East and North Africa.
So to Muslims around the world on this very important day of celebration, I send my very best and wish you Eid Mubarak.”

Gaddafi forces use “scare tactics” in Sirte: rebels

Forces loyal to Muammar Gaddafi in his hometown of Sirte are urging people to fight or be killed by bloodthirsty attackers, complicating efforts to arrange a peaceful surrender of the city, opponents of the Libyan leader said on Monday.
“They’re trying to tell the people that the battle is no longer for Gaddafi but to protect themselves,” he told Reuters, adding that three days ago a message from Gaddafi was broadcast in Sirte, urging people to fight to save themselves.

NTC spokesman Shamsiddin Abdulmolah said most people in Sirte were against Gaddafi. “But it’s the minority of Gaddafi loyalists who have the weapons,” he said. “They’re using all kinds of scare tactics but it’s a losing strategy.”

Iran ‘discreetly aided Libyan rebels’
Iran “discreetly” provided humanitarian aid to Libyan rebels before the fall of Tripoli, Jam-e-Jam newspaper quoted Foreign Minister Ali Akbar Salehi on Sunday as saying.
“We were in touch with many of the rebel groups in Libya before the fall of (Moamer) Kadhafi, and discreetly dispatched three or four food and medical consignments to Benghazi,” Salehi told the daily.
“The head of the National Transitional Council (NTC), Mustafa Abdel Jalil, sent a letter of thanks to President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad for having been on their side and helping,” he added.
Since the Libyan uprising erupted in mid-February, Iran has adopted a dual approach — criticising the Kadhafi regime for its violent assaults on the rebels while at the same time condemning NATO’s military intervention.
On Tuesday, Iran “congratulated the Muslim people of Libya” after rebels overran the capital Tripoli, but it has so far distanced itself from officially recognising the NTC.

Been on BBC again. Talked abt how ppl in #Sirte normally get along with G-loyalists there. Hoping we’ll be free of the likes soon.

Negotiations underway within #Sirte. News of some Gaddafi loyalists willing to adhere to peace, still they remain a minority
We’re guessing since loads of Pro-Gs have defected so far that we’ll be seeing something similar in #Sirte as well
therefore the % there might have significantly shifted now that loyalists to G realize there’s no way out. We don’t know yet.
Seems like today’s the last day of Ramadan for KSA. Happy Eid to all our brothers & sisters! Praying #Libya will enjoy a stable life soon :)

TripoliPrisoners “no water or food for 6 days – some of us R DEAD- some injured from torture – DO ANYTHING U CAN 2 SAVE US NOW”

Last tweat was sent on behalf of 50000 #TripoliPrisoners – who have no voice on the internet – or contact with the world beyond their dark bloody bars – apart from their own fading crys for help they haven’t seen or heard a human voice for 6 days – so I created their message to speak for them.

The only people who know where the secret jails containing the 50000 entombed prisoners are located – are the #Gaddafi jailors – they have no conscience – and don’t care if they all die – but they may act for a big reward plus a pardon.

Please put heavy pressure on @ntc_of_libya to offer a reward – $2000 per LIVE prisoner – will add up to $100m if they are all rescued – and this can be covered from the sale of Gaddafi ’s private jet – which is worth about $110m – CHECK IT OUT AND SEE WHY:
www.telegraph.co.uk/news/worldnews/afri...

At most we have about 24 hours to make a serious attempt to save these 50000 entombed innocents!

Its no use the @ntc_of_libya – just putting out a public appeal for info – an appeal to the conscience of a Gaddafi jailor is at best an exercise in optimism – its unlikely to work – and we only have hours not days left to save these guys – but money and a pardon might work.

Rebel officer says Qaddafi’s son Khamis killed in clash near Tripoli

Fallen Libyan strongman Muammar Qaddafi’s son Khamis has been killed in a clash near Tripoli, a senior rebel officer said on Monday.

Colonel Al-Mahdi Al-Haragi, in charge of the Tripoli Brigade of the rebel army, said he had confirmation that Khamis was badly wounded in the clash near Ben Walid and Tarhoni.

He was taken to a hospital but died of his wounds and was buried in the area, Haragi said, without confirming the date of his death. No independent confirmation of the death was available.

A US official, speaking on condition of anonymity, told Reuters the United States could not yet independently confirm Khamis’ death but said similar information was being received in Washington from “reliable sources.”

Rebels: Gaddafi’s Son ‘Killed In Air Strike’
Rebel commanders say one of Colonel Gaddafi’s most feared sons has been killed in an air strike 60km away from Tripoli – as it emerges other members of the dictator’s family have fled to Algeria.

Khamis Gaddafi is said to have been in an armoured Toyota Land Cruiser when it was reportedly blasted off the road by a missile apparently launched from a Nato Apache helicopter.
Sky’s chief correspondent Stuart Ramsa said a man claiming to be Khamis’ bodyguard confirmed that he had died in the vehicle, part of a convoy in Tarunah, southeast of the capital.

The explosion incinerated the 4×4 and was so intense it set nearby trees on fire, Ramsay reports.
A senior rebel officer in Tripoli said Khamis had been badly wounded and taken to hospital, where he died of his wounds

CAIRO- Libyan rebels have “almost certain” information that Libyan intelligence chief Abdullah al-Senussi was killed on Saturday along with Muammar Gaddafi’s son Khamis, rebel military spokesman Ahmed Bani told Al Arabiya television on Monday.

NTC sets Saturday ultimatum for Sirte
The NTC gave Gaddafi forces a four-day deadline to surrender towns still under their control or face military force.
As the hunt for Gaddafi himself goes on, Libyan officials accused neighbouring Algeria of an act of aggression for admitting his fleeing wife and three of his children.
Algeria’s Foreign Ministry said Gaddafi’s wife Safi, his daughter Aisha and his sons Hannibal and Mohammed had entered Algeria on yesterday, along with their children.
That stirred a diplomatic row just as the NTC works to consolidate its authority and capture places still loyal to Gaddafi, notably the coastal city of Sirte.
“By Saturday, if there are no peaceful indications for implementing this we will decide this matter militarily. We do not wish to do so but we cannot wait longer,” Mustafa Abdel Jalil, head of the NTC, told a news conference.
Anti-Gaddafi forces have converged on Sirte from east and west, but have stopped short of an all-out assault in hopes of arranging a negotiated surrender of Gaddafi’s birth-place.
Gaddafi has been on the run since his foes captured his Tripoli compound on Aug. 23 and his 42-year-old dictatorship collapsed after a six-month uprising backed by NATO and some Arab states.

DAVID ROBERTS IN LINE 4 £500.000 FROM #Gaddafi – He said after #ZAWIYA siege “no evidence” #Gaddafi bombarded its people – on behalf of a fictitious group opposing @NATO and #UN – “BRITISH CIVILIANS FOR PEACE”

INFO FROM #Libya PM list sezied by #FF – cant wait to see #Saif ’s list.

“The proposal to pay groups for spreading Libya’s message also identifies seven foreigners that the regime was hoping to pay £500,000 for undertaking fact-finding missions in Tripoli, including David Roberts, a Socialist Labour Party activist, and British resident Mohammad Elhaddad.

Mr Roberts led a British Civilians For Peace in Libya mission to Tripoli in April during which he told the press that there was “no evidence” that the regime had bombarded

its own people to quell protests in the capital.

Mr Roberts could not be reached for comment yesterday. The overall budget for the political and public relations campaign was set at €10 million (£8.8 million), to be allotted from a sanctions-breaking bank account ultimately controlled by the regime’s henchmen. Its activities were to take place in Britain, France and America."

Irish-Libyan rebel leader says securing Tripoli a six-week task

THE IRISH-LIBYAN who led the main rebel brigade into Tripoli estimates it will take at least six weeks to ensure full control over the city.
Mahdi al-Harati, a teacher of Arabic who lives in Dublin with his Irish-born wife and family, was last week appointed deputy leader of Tripoli’s military council, a body which hopes to merge all rebel units into one national army.
“Most of Tripoli is now under our control, but parts are in chaos. I would say 90 per cent is under control, militarily, and the remainder is made up of pockets of resistance from Gadafy loyalists,” he told The Irish Times . “Every day we work on sweeping the city, area after area.”

Hunted by regime, Tripoli activist kept flame of protest burning

The Libyan government had shut down access to the Internet when the uprising began, but his 26-year-old cousin, Mukhtar Mhani, was a government IT expert. He said he hacked into the government’s still-functioning intranet system and used it to access a government satellite dish to transmit messages of protest to the outside world.
Within a few weeks, though, as their acts of defiance got play on television stations around the world, members of the group realized that the regime would be looking for them and could potentially trace them through that intranet route. So, with their hearts in their mouths, they went to Mukhtar’s workplace, climbed to the roof and found a 1.8-meter satellite dish.

NTC Mustafa Abdul Jalil: No charges against Gaddafi’s family as yet however, they need to be questioned about their fortunes.

Pro-Gadhafi troops perched children on tanks to deter NATO attacks, human rights investigators said in a report on Tuesday.

Gaddafi’s children: extravagant and ruthless

Muammar Gaddafi’s children earned reputations for extravagance, violence and dysfunctional behaviour that attracted almost as many hostile headlines as their eccentric and ruthless father.
For years, jealousy and greed had poisoned relations within the family, but as rebels challenged the Libyan ruling system, Gaddafi’s seven sons and one daughter closed ranks around their father, breaking off lives that in many cases had been lived abroad, sometimes in the harsh glare of publicity.

Joy and tears as Eid arrives in post-Gaddafi Libya
The first Eid al-Fitr, (the great feast that closes the Muslim holy month of Ramadan), celebrated by Libyans after the fall of Muammar Gaddafi is marked by a shortage of everything from water to money.
Yet nothing seems able to spoil the celebration of freedom — what the people of Tripoli are calling the Eid of Victory.
After almost 42 years of Gaddafi’s rule, this Eid will live in Libyans’ memory.
“Every year we celebrate Eid with new clothes, big meals and home-made sweets. There are shortages this year. But we have managed so far. Thank God this Eid has a special flavour. This Eid we have freedom,” said Adel Kashad, 47, a computer science engineer in an oil company.

NATO says Libya’s sides are talking in Sirte
NATO says Libya’s warring sides in the Gaddafi stronghold of Sirte are now engaged in “discussions.”
Col. Roland Lavoie also says NATO’s role will continue as long as civilians in the country are under threat, although the area around the capital Tripoli is now “essentially free.”
He spoke to reporters today near Naples, where NATO’s Libya’s operation is headquartered, and by video link to journalists in Brussels, as well.

NATO says does not know fate of Gaddafi’s son Khamis
NATO said today it did not know the fate of Muammar Gaddafi’s son Khamis, who was said by opponents of the deposed dictator to have been killed at the weekend.
“There are a lot allegations and rumours on Khamis. We don’t know,” NATO spokesman Colonel Roland Lavoie, speaking from Naples, told a briefing.
Anti-Gaddafi forces trying to mop up Sirte and other strongholds of supporters of the deposed leader said Khamis Gaddafi and former intelligence chief Abdullah al-Senussi
had both been killed on Saturday.
Khamis had already been reported killed twice during the uprising.

Cyberwar: Gaddafi’s online mercenary army
Brandishing Kalashnikovs and bloodstained baseball caps, these were Libya’s revolutionaries. Men, young and old, fighting on the frontline to claim victory and liberation for the country they call home.
Social networking sites allowed pro-regime propagandists to spread global conspiracy theories in the comfort of their own home, without any scars or wounds of war. No combat experience, basic training or Libyan citizenship was required in the recruitment process for Gaddafi’s online army.
To coin the old saying “the first casualty in war is the truth” has been apparent in the airtime for Iran state television, Press TV and publicly funded Russian network, RT. These channels were the chosen platform for pro Gaddafi journalists to provide their independent dossiers- a biased eyewitness account to the situation inside Libya.
For instance, a young female journalist and male documentary filmmaker that RT and Press TV featured in their reporting made statements claiming that international media and the Libyan revolutionaries are “slaves to NATO and the Western colonialist Empire.” Further reports of the female journalist said her “sources were saying Gaddafi was in Green square and the revolutionaries did not have control of Tripoli as international media had reported.”
Further blog, Facebook posts and Youtube videos the female journalist broadcasted accused CNN, MI6 and the CIA of being assassins and have threatened to kill her while inside the Rixos hotel. After she broadcasted these messages online, her Facebook, Twitter and Blog were removed. What followed was an online uproar as her fans, Gaddafi loyalists, predominately non Libyan were furious her accounts were deleted.
In an ironic twist of events, the young lady, along with her pro Gaddafi Facebook friends begged the UK government to bring her back to English soil. Back to the very regime she, along with her fans so blatantly condemned.

Colonel Gaddafi’s henchman threatened to rape American brain surgeon
An American brain surgeon who joined the rebel frontline in Libya told yesterday of his horrific torture ordeal at the hands of Colonel Gaddafi’s henchmen.
Libyan-born US citizen Rida – Mazagri and a friend were ambushed in March as they drove towards a conflict zone near Ajdabiya in Western Libya.
He told the Sunday Mirror: “They tied us up and threw us into the back of an army truck blindfolded.”
Father-of-four Rida was taken to a military camp in Gaddafi’s home town of Sirte – where one thug kicked him in the genitals before whipping his back with an electric flex – the first of many horrific beatings.
Fighting back tears, he recalled how another young soldier whispered in his ear: “My friends and I are going to rape you tonight.”

Libyan troops loyal to Muammar Gaddafi forced civilians to act as human shields, perching children on tanks to deter NATO attacks, human rights investigators said. It was part of a pattern of rapes, slayings, “disappearances” and other war crimes that they said they found.
Physicians for Human Rights was able to get a team of interviewers into the embattled city of Misrata from June 5-12, just after Libyan rebel forces expelled Gadhafi’s loyalists.
Interviewing dozens of survivors of the two-month siege, the Boston-based PHR found widespread evidence of crimes against humanity and war crimes, including summary slayings, hostage-taking, rapes, beatings, and use of mosques, schools and marketplaces as weapons depots.

Police in Tripoli are overcoming fears they would not be welcomed by Libya’s new masters and are slowly returning to work, taking pains to distance themselves from ousted leader Muammar Gaddafi and win the public’s trust.
Visitors to one police station step on a rug featuring Gaddafi’s face and drivers roll over a poster of him at a checkpoint outside.
The district’s policemen on Monday spent their first day in uniform since Gaddafi’s overthrow. Senior officers had for days urged colleagues to return to work, through announcements at mosques and word of mouth.
The former Libyan leader had a formidable security apparatus that was notorious for its brutality.
The National Transitional Council, Libya’s new governing body, is hoping to avoid the same kind of lawlessness seen after the fall of former Iraqi leader Saddam Hussein, and want to co-opt Gaddafi-era policemen, not dismiss them.

AFP
Gaddafi’s daughter Aisha, who fled to Algeria with other family members, has given birth to a baby girl, Algerian authorities announced Tuesday.
“Aisha gave birth very early this morning. She had a little girl. Mother and daughter are doing fine,” said a government official, who spoke on condition of anonymity.

Zimbabwe
Zimbabwe expelled the Libyan ambassador and his staff on Tuesday for switching allegiance to Libya’s ruling interim council, the foreign minister said. President Robert Mugabe is a strong ally of deposed Libyan ruler Muammar Gaddafi, who had signed several economic deals with Harare, including an agreement to supply fuel.

NTC
Libya’s interim government signed at least two contracts to buy French wheat using funds unfrozen in France earlier this month, four sources close to the deals said on Tuesday. France’s foreign ministry in early August said it would un-freeze $259 million of Libyan assets and place them at the disposal of Libya’s National Transition Council (NTC) to help the North African country recover from a six-month civil war.
“It’s part of two contracts that the NTC signed for wheat for about 60,000 tonnes each,” said a senior executive at French grains firm Soufflet, which won one of the deals. He added that these contracts were worth around $22 million each and that the other contract was granted to Nidera.

Hunt f
or Gaddafi: Saddam all over again?
Dictator Muammar Gaddafi is on the run, his capital all but fallen to revolutionaries, his hometown under siege.
Now comes another difficult task for the revolutionaries and the civilian government they are trying to install: capturing Gaddafi before the fugitive dictator is able to mount a revenge assault from hiding or inspire an insurgency that could drag on for years.
Gaddafi’s wife and three of his children fled Libya to neighboring Algeria yesterday. But the Obama administration said it has no indication Gaddafi has left the country.
As U.S. forces learned in the massive, months-long manhunt for Iraqi dictator Saddam Hussein in 2003, intelligence will be key to finding him.
Thanks to NATO and its small cadre of military advisers on the ground in Libya, the revolutionaries will be able to draw on electronic clues known as signals intelligence, ranging from images from drones, spy planes and satellites to stolen transmissions from radio and phones — an advantage U.S. troops did not have in 2003 in Iraq, when the use of such equipment was in its infancy, and the intelligence not well shared with those on the ground.

Eid Mubarek ~ كل عام وأنتم بخير
We would like to wish our readers and supporters around the world a happy and blessed Eid

As we enter into the Eid celebrations, we reflect on how special the past thirty days have been for Libya. The month of Ramadan has been a blessed one with much to remember.
With the help of God, revolutionaries liberated the Nafusa mountains in the early days of Ramadan, freedom next reached to Zawiya, and finally, with ease to our capital Tripoli.
We ask God to accept all of our fasting, prayers, and duaas, to accept our fallen heroes as shuhada, and to protect and liberate the people in the remaining occupied cities.

We hope you and your families can celebrate this joyous time with peace, comfort, and happiness in whatever part of the world or country you are from.
Happy Eid & God Bless,

At Wadi al Humra rebels sending scouting teams forward to check position of Gaddafi forces, they say there were NATO strikes over night

We were at Wadi al Humra late yesterday with a rebel forward recon team quite quickly we were targetted by shelling & pulled back

Pulled back slightly after advice from rebel recon party – then watched from a distance as number of shells landed close to where we were.

There appears to now be no formal front line between our location and Sirte, small number of rebel forces moving down the road

Analysis: Security fears behind Algeria haven for Gaddafi family

Saad Djebbar, a UK-based Algerian lawyer who once advised Gaddafi’s government, said Algeria would be justified in allowing even Muammar Gaddafi himself to enter the country if that brought a swifter end to the fighting in Libya.
“If you allow Gaddafi to continue to be where he is, that means he could carry on his acts of sabotage or violent operations … to undermine security,” Djebbar said.
“But if he was in Algeria, the Algerians could control him … (prevent him) from him being active in the Libyan territory any more.”
Algeria will not be too troubled by adverse diplomatic reaction in the West because it has been in that position before.

17 Croats among foreign mercenaries arrested in Tripoli
The member of the Libyan National Transitional Council in charge of justice, Mohammed al-Alagy, has said that there are a lot of foreigners among those arrested in Libya, including Croats.
“The prisoners are being treated well. Those who did not commit crimes will be released after questioning, while the rest will be tried,” al-Alagy said on Monday, adding that foreign mercenaries, including 17 Croats, had been arrested in Tripoli.

The Croatian Foreign Ministry told press on Tuesday it had received no official information that any Croatian nationals had been arrested. The ministry said it would ask the Libyan diplomatic mission in Zagreb whether any Croatian citizens had been arrested in Libya.

Migrants in Libya camp claim rape
Aid workers say they are taking seriously alleged sexual assaults of up to two dozen women at camp for migrant workers.

Migrant workers living in a squatter settlement outside Tripoli have claimed that nearly two dozen women in the camp have been raped since opposition forces began their final push on the capital two weeks ago.
At the abandoned fishing harbour about 27km west of Tripoli, Nigerian maids Rose Johnson and Darcy Ikibueka said on Monday they are two of more than 20 women in the camp who have been raped by armed men whose identities and affiliations remain unknown.
The names of the women have been changed to protect their identities.
The claims were bolstered by aid workers from Doctors Without Borders (MSF) who gained access to the camp on Saturday. Simon Burroughs, MSF emergency coordinator, said women had approached the staff with claims of rape and had received counselling.

On the night of August 19, gunmen entered the harbour camp. They fired their guns in the air, shouting “God is great”. That night, Johnson and Ikibueka said, they were raped at gunpoint.
Anthony Ogiexeri , a 37-year-old Nigerian pastor who lives in the camp, gave Al Jazeera this account:

“The came in, some of them they were shooting all around, and they ordered girls to come out. When they came out, they laid them down. Some of them were saying they should allow the girls [to] go, and some of them said, ‘No, they were going to rape them’. And at the end they submitted to the men, and they raped them. And after they left.”
Some Libyans have donated food and supplies to the camp, but in recent days, groups of armed men and boys have regularly entered the camp at night, robbing the refugees of food and money.

They also take women away to use them for sex, Ogiexeri said.
“We try to connect lights so we can see ourselves at night, but they take them to the dark places.”

Libyan troops loyal to Muammar Gaddafi forced civilians to act as human shields, perching children on tanks to deter NATO attacks, human rights investigators said. It was part of a pattern of rapes, slayings, “disappearances” and other war crimes that they said they found.

Physicians for Human Rights was able to get a team of interviewers into the embattled city of Misrata from June 5-12, just after Libyan rebel forces expelled Gadhafi’s loyalists.

Interviewing dozens of survivors of the two-month siege, the Boston-based PHR found widespread evidence of crimes against humanity and war crimes, including summary

slayings, hostage-taking, rapes, beatings, and use of mosques, schools and marketplaces as weapons depots. -

Algeria would hand over Qaddafi to ICC as Libya ‘final battle’ approaches
Algeria would hand over Muammar Gaddafi to the International Criminal Court if he entered the North African country, a local newspaper reported on Tuesday, a day after Algiers gave safe haven to members of his family, as the rebels’ military chief said the final battle in Libya was imminent.

Algeria announced on Monday that Qaddafi’s wife, two of his sons and his daughter had crossed into its territory, prompting Libya’s ruling interim council to demand that they be handed back to face trial.

Quoting Algerian sources, the el-Shorouk newspaper said on its website that President Abdelaziz Bouteflika had told government ministers during a cabinet meeting on Monday that Algeria would respect international law on all matters related to the Libyan conflict.
“Should Qaddafi try to enter Algerian soil amid talk that the rebels are tightening their grip on the border with Tunisia, and Egyptian (border) restrictions, Algeria would arrest him and hand him over to the International Criminal Court in compliance with international agreements,” the newspaper said, according to Reuters.

It said the decision was not a reaction to the toppling of the Qaddafi regime but was in accordance with the ICC’s arrest warrants for Qaddafi, his son Seif al-Islam and his intelligence chief over accusations they committed crimes against humanity.

No one was immediately available for comment from the government.

In a separate report, Shorouk said Qaddafi’s family members, who had crossed into Algeria, were in the southeastern Illizi province, which borders Libya, and would not be allowed to go to the capital Algiers.

Qaddafi’s location remains unknown a week after Tripoli fell to his foes.

Meanwhile, Algeria’s al-Watan newspaper said the country was closing the southern part of its border with Libya. Quoting diplomatic sources, al-Watan said an instruction had gone out to security services to close the southern part of the border with Libya, because of the “precarious situation” there, according to Reuters.

The Algerian government could not immediately be reached for comment. Algeria’s border with Libya is hundreds of kilometers long and stretches through vast expanses of empty desert.

Algerian officials say they are concerned that Islamist militants have infiltrated Libya’s National Transitional Council (NTC), and that al-Qaeda’s North African wing will exploit the chaos in Libya to acquire weapons and explosives.

The NTC has angrily denied those charges and in turn accuses Algeria of siding with Muammar Qaddafi during Libya’s civil war, something the Algerian authorities deny.
“Zero hour approaching”
The rebels’ military chief Colonel Ahmed Omar Bani, meanwhile, told reporters on Tuesday the launch of the final battle in Libya was imminent.

“Zero hour is quickly approaching. We would like everyone to know that we are ready for a final military battle,” he told a news conference in the rebel stronghold in the east, according to AFP.

“So far we have been given no indication of a peaceful surrender. We want everyone to know that we are prepared militarily for the battle that will end the conflict,” Bani said.

Asked about possible rebel moves, he replied this was “military intelligence” and declined to elaborate.

“We continue to seek a peaceful solution, but on Saturday we will use different methods against these criminals,” he said.

Earlier, National Transitional Council chief Mustafa Abdel Jalil told reporters in Benghazi that the NTC was giving a Saturday ultimatum for Muammar Qaddafi’s forces to surrender or face a military onslaught.

Bani expressed “surprise” that the inhabitants of Sirte “still reject our peaceful overtures to avoid the spilling of blood on both sides.”

He also said that rebel fighters may have killed Qaddafi’s intelligence chief, Abdullah al-Senussi, who is wanted by the International Criminal Court.

Rebel fighters had destroyed two armored vehicles between the towns of Bani Walid and Tarhuna, southeast of Tripoli, and captured Kadhafi loyalists told them that one of the passengers was Senussi, Bani said.

The vehicles were destroyed by fire after the convoy refused to stop as rebel fighters demanded, he said, adding that Senussi has yet to be buried.

In June, the Hague-based court issued arrest warrants for Qaddafi, his son Seif al-Islam and Senussi for murder and persecution since mid-February, when a bloody uprising started.

Senussi is Qaddafi’s brother-in-law.
Khamis Qaddafi alive
Separately, Libyan state television denied in a message posted on the Internet on Tuesday that Khamis Qaddafi, a son of the strongman, was dead as claimed by the rebels.

“We repeat that information on the death of Khamis Qaddafi is a lie," the Allibya network, which is run by Seif al-Islam, reported on its Facebook page, according to AFP.

Late on Monday, opposition officials said that Khamis, 28, was killed south of Tripoli and buried on Monday, citing rebel leaders.

The death of Khamis, a feared military commander, has been prematurely announced several times during the Libyan conflict.

Laughter, joy, relief and unspeakable memories

IT WAS a reunion neither saw coming. In the yards of the notorious Abu Salim prison, the site of the massacre in 1996 of 1200 prisoners and countless abuses at the hands of Muammar Gaddafi’s regime, Ashraf Sueden and Abdel Anser el-Musbahi saw each other and cried out in shock.
Moments later they were in each other’s arms, laughing and sobbing with disbelief. Ashraf had been a prisoner from 1989 to 1996, Abdel from 1990 to 2001.
Both had been jailed without charge after being swept up in security operations that targeted men worshipping at mosques. Neither thought he would survive the horror.

More and more men arrived at the prison, some with their sons in tow. Many were reliving the terrible years spent behind bars, others simply taking a look inside another of the instruments of fear Colonel Gaddafi used so effectively during his 42 years in power.

Libya: The women of the revolution
Six women tell how they did their part to help the men take Tripoli from Gadhafi in their jihad, or struggle, against the regime.
They prepared sharba — a soup of meat, tomato, oil and water.
Collected clothes and money from trusted friends.
Called anyone of influence outside the country to tell their side’s story, disposing of the SIM card after each call.
And prayed.
Jihad was made for men and women

Seated in a row, six women, most of them engineering students, say they did their part to help the men take Tripoli from Gadhafi in their jihad, or struggle, against the regime.
“Jihad was made for men and women. There is no difference. But we are not warriors,” says Randa Al Alam, 26.
Auhood Elkhabule, 25, adds: “Most of the women went out and tried to help the men. But many of them say, ‘We are men, we do it ourselves.’ I couldn’t just sit and say let them do it. Many of my friends have been killed.”
Elkhabule, her sister and their friends sit on a long, brocade-covered couch, the tri-coloured rebel flag pinned to the wall above their head. Several wear the same red, black and green on bracelets.
Elkhabule’s father Abdalluh, a professor, brings their guest a sweet blend of Arabic coffee in a china demitasse and a plate of crumbly basbousa cakes, and sets them on ornately carved end tables, all very quietly. It is his house but not his time to speak.
Auhood: “We have all shared this kind of . . . we call it privacy. They make us feel very scared. You can’t express your mind.”
Her sister Khulood: “You go to get a master’s degree, but you are supposed to be at home and support the men. There is no way for a woman to express her voice. If you insist, you are going to be followed and they try to kill your voice.”

They moved cautiously using simple codes
“I was in a group trying to gather money, food, trying to get them to the revolutionaries,” said Sanaa Eljerbi, 25. “We are already under the eyes of the regime, and it was hard to do. We used simple codes, without telling (anyone who might overhear) why we need it.”
They say they tried to call media outlets outside the country to tell what was happening inside Libya’s borders. But that, too, required some guile.
Auhood says Gadhafi’s government has eavesdropped landline calls and tracked cell phones.
“When my brother called from the U.S. (worried about conditions in Libya), I said, ‘Relax. Nothing is happening.’ A spy came on the line, said, ‘You heard her, right? Everything is ok.’ ”
For each call they bought SIM cards from people who had extra or no longer needed them. When possible they did not buy them at a store, where they say the cards could have been tracked.
Jihad in a different way
Could they have done more? Handle a gun if asked?
Narjes Elshaksto, 28: “I had jihad in a different way: praying for them.
Farah Al Mohalhel, 25: “Some women wanted to handle guns.”
Auhood Elkhabule starts shifting on the couch, eager to get a word in.
“Many girls, they can’t kill an insect, even a simple fly. For what Gadhafi did, I want to choke him, burn him alive.”
That, or: “Put him in a cage and put him in a zoo.”
“I am a rebel.”
Speechless
More than a week since the fight for Tripoli began, the women are asked how it feels to sit and talk freely with a foreign reporter.
“I am speechless,” Auhood says, then laughs when she realizes she is, in fact, not.
Her sister Khulood, 29, says: “This is a proper jihad. You don’t choose what you want from the Qur’ran. It’s fixed, it’s right.”

Exposed: Right-Wing Think Tanks and Bloggers Conducted Secret 10-Year Campaign to Fan Fear of Muslims
Extremist foundations, think tanks, pundits, and bloggers carried out a 10-year-old campaign to promote fear of Islam and Muslims in the U.S.

The 130-page report, ‘Fear, Inc.: The Roots of the Islamophobia Network in America’, identifies seven foundations that have quietly provided a total of more than 42 million dollars to key individuals and organisations that have spearheaded the nation-wide effort between 2001 and 2009.
They include funders that have long been associated with the extreme right in the U.S., as well as several Jewish family foundations that have supported right-wing and settler groups in Israel.
The network also includes what the report calls “misinformation experts” – including Frank Gaffney of the Center for Security Policy (CSP), Daniel Pipes of the Philadelphia-based Middle East Forum (MEF), Steven Emerson of the Investigative Project on Terrorism, David Yerushalmi of the Society of Americans for National Existence, and Robert Spencer of Stop Islamization of America (SIOA) – who are often tapped by television news networks and right-wing radio talk shows to comment on Islam and the threat it allegedly poses to U.S. national security.

Gaddafi’s son abandons his lions in flight from Tripoli
Saadi Gaddafi and his bodyguards visited his nine lions in Tripoli’s zoo every day until rebels overran the city
Until one month ago the location of Muammar Gaddafi’s son Saadi wasn’t a mystery at all. Every day Saadi would drive with a couple of low-key bodyguards to Tripoli’s zoo. The zoo – located right next to Gaddafi’s heavily protected Bab al-Aziziya complex – was closed to ordinary visitors. But for Saadi it was always open.
Saadi, Gaddafi’s third son, would come to visit his favourite animals: the lions. Nine of the zoo’s 18 lions belonged to him personally; he was usually found crouching in front of their spacious enclosure. As Libya’s rebels advanced inexorably towards Tripoli, Saadi reassured the zoo’s director there was nothing to worry about. “He told me: ’It’s OK. The situation is normal’,” said Dr Abdulfatah Husni, the zoo’s director.

It seems Tripoli and the road there from Ras Ijdir are very safe now, alhamdulilah.

I don’t think anybody predicted that the battle for Tripoli would be this quick and that order would return so quickly.

Just confirmed that I’ll be going to #Tripoli via Djerba this weekend for two weeks! (personal visit, with family)

I can’t wait to see #Tripoli again, to see my grandmother, aunties, uncles and cousins who have been there throughout.

I haven’t left yet, I’ll be flying to Djerba on Sunday and crossing the day after iA. I’ll post updates when I can

I will of course be taking photographs and posting them on the revived nafusa.tumblr.com blog

Me and my family have been to Libya almost every summer for as long as I can remember, but this visit will be the most memorable.

When things get back to normal, I think #Libya will be the new “must-go” holiday destination. Beaches, sun, hospitality, food, the lot.

Gaddafi’s female bodyguards say they were raped, abused by the Libyan leader

Five women who were part of Col. Moammar Gaddafi’s elite team of female bodyguards say they were raped and abused by the now fugitive Libyan leader.
The Sunday Times of Malta reports that the former bodyguards said Gaddafi and his sons raped and abused them and then discarded the women once the men became “bored” with them.

“A pattern emerged in the stories,” the Times reports. “The women would be first raped by the dictator and then passed on, like used objects, to one of his sons and eventually to high-ranking officials for more abuse before eventually being let go.”

Gaddafi Family Members Enter to Algeria
Algeria authorities have authorized family members of Libyan Colonel Muammar Gaddafi to enter to the country via Tinalcom crossing post in Illizi province, on south east border, official source told Echorouk.

The convoy comprises 7 four wheels drive vehicles carrying 31 people, including

Gaddafi wife, Safia, her daughter Aisha, her sons Mohamed and Hanibal, in addition to Gaddafi’s grandchildren.
The source said the convoy of Gaddafi family members were waiting for 12 hours near the crossing post, before being authorized to enter to Algeria.
Aisha Gaddafi was in a critical health situation as she is pregnant in her 9th month, noting that the convoy carried many children and women, which prompted the authorities to let the convoy entering to Algeria, in accordance with international treaties stipulating offering help for people in the times of war, the source added.
Gaddafi family members are likely to get refuge in Illizi province, rather than in the capital Algiers, the source added.
To recall, an international arrest warrant has been issued two months ago against Muammar Gaddafi, his son Seif al Islam and Chief of Intelligence Service, Abdullah al-Senoussi.

Gaddafi’s son ‘ready to surrender’

A senior NTC official has said that Saadi Gaddafi, the deposed Libyan leader’s third son, is willing to give himself up

A senior National Transitional Council official in Libya has told Al Jazeera that Saadi Gaddafi is willing to give himself up. He is the third son of the deposed Libyan leader Muammar Gaddafi.

The NTC’s military leader in Tripoli, Abdelhakim Belhaj, said on Wednesday that Saddi called him and asked if he can surrender.
In an exclusive interview, Belhaj said the revolutionaries know for sure where some of the regime leaders are, including unconfirmed reports on where Gaddafi is.
Al Jazeera’s James Bays, reporting from Tripoli said: “We asked him Abdelhakim Belhaj about the military situation, remaining members of the Gaddafi family, and he said that he believes one of Gaddafi’s sons, Saadi, is preparing to surrender.

“According to Belhaj, Saddi doesn’t want to leave Libya, he wants to talk to the national council and negotiate his surrender. He thinks he knows the whereabouts of Saddi Gaddafi from the phone call. Also says he believes some senior figures of the government are now ready to surrender, such as the former prime minister.
“Belhaj made a point of saying that any of those who do surrender will be treated properly, and court cases will be held to international norms. Belhaj thought that Muammar Gaddafi is less likely to surrender, but would be treated fairly if he did. He would be held in custody with proper human rights.”

Freed Libyan prisoner tells his story
Like many Libyans, Masoud Marghani was arrested and held in prison for defying Muammar Gaddafi’s regime.
Masoud Marghani and his 13 cellmates in Tripoli’s Jdaida Prison could hear freedom on the doorstep.

Anti-aircraft guns manned by troops loyal to Libyan leader Muammar Gaddafi thundered on the roof. Outside the walls of the compound, there was shouting, explosions and the chatter of small-arms fire.

It was the night of August 20, and rebels had entered the capital. Inside their second-floor cell, Marghani and the others waited. As the sound of fighting drew closer, they became agitated. Guards pointed their AK-47s into the cells, threatening to kill the men if they didn’t shut up.

Nobody slept. The fighting continued through the night. One by one, guards deserted their posts. Gunfire continued into the morning, and no one came to deliver food or check on the inmates.
At one point, the warden Haj al-Fituri walked by Marghani’s cell.

“What time is it?” a prisoner asked.

“It’s too late,” Fituri said. Then the warden went downstairs, and the men never saw him again.

By afternoon, rebels had cautiously entered the compound, but Marghani and the others remained trapped on the second floor. In an interview with Al Jazeera, he described how he and three other men unhinged their bathroom door and used it to smash open the cell. He opened his hands to show the scars on his palms.

The inmates poured out and began freeing others on their floor. Down below, Marghani saw a man below in civilian clothes toting an AK-47.

“When I saw a civilian man inside with a gun, I understood,” he said. “The guards didn’t go inside with their guns.”

Marghani had spent the past two months incarcerated. He was first in the notorious Abu Salim prison, then transferred to Jdaida, where rules were lax. Like hundreds of others, he was thrown in jail for protesting against Gaddafi.

Marghani is a fifth-year medical student who workrfas a pharmacist and then at a medical supply company to support himself.

His mother comes from Benghazi, long a hot bed of anti-regime sentiment and the stronghold of the National Transitional Council. Her father had six wives, and it was Marghani’s network of 13 uncles who first told him about the uprising that broke Gaddafi’s grip on the east.

Marghani and his friends had seen the Facebook call for a “revolution” on February 17, but many didn’t believe it could happen.

“They felt afraid even of the idea,” he said.
‘This is a rat’

Two days before the scheduled uprising, when protests broke out in Benghazi over the arrest of well-known human rights lawyer Fathi Terbil, Marghani’s uncles called him in Tripoli.

When the protests escalated into a brutal regime crackdown and an armed resistance that brought down the local military garrison, they kept him informed.

On February 20, when the garrison fell, his uncles called him in tears.

“We are free here. We are free. How are you,” one said.

While they were speaking on the phone protesters were out in force on the streets of Tripoli, and it looked as if Gaddafi’s government would soon be toppled.

Marghani turned the phone to the crowd so his uncles could hear the chants of “With our soul, with our blood, we’ll defend you Benghazi”.

“I thought everything would be done when I saw people in the streets everywhere,” Marghani said.

But Gaddafi did not back down. As the crowd marched to the Tuesday Market roundabout in Margahni’s western neighbourhood of Gargaresh, they ran into two anti-aircraft guns. When the artillery opened fire, the protesters scattered.

Tripoli was shut down in the months to follow. Mobile phone and Internet services were disabled for two weeks. Military, security and mercenary forces were deployed throughout the capital. Civilians were shot dead for venturing outside their homes after 6pm.

Marghani stayed inside. His brother was in Spain working as a banker, so he wanted to help his father protect the family. His mother had asked him not to leave.

Petrol, food and other goods became scarce and prices went up. Fuel queues sprang
up across Tripoli. The government capped the amount of money allowed to be withdrawn from banks to 1,000 dinars ($832), then 500, then 250.

In June, Marghani set out to take his father, mother, two nephews and pregnant 40-year-old sister to Tunisia. When they reached the border crossing at Ras Ajdir, Marghani was taken aside. His mother’s family’s name, well known in Benghazi, had raised a red flag.

A customs officer told him his picture in the computer system was too blurry. They took him to a small shack, promising only a few questions. Soon, plainclothes guards with AK-47s took over and pushed him outside, following him with their guns.

“What did you do?” his father asked.

“I didn’t do anything,” he said.

“This is a rat!” the guards shouted.

Taking up a weapon

Marghani was taken for interrogation then shipped to Tripoli. He spent 35 days in Abu Salim. The prison housed more than 1,000 inmates and was known for violence. Rebels emptied Abu Salim after seizing the area earlier this month.

Officers told Marghani he was being charged with helping to burn down a police station and two other building’s belonging to Gaddafi’s oppressive People’s and Revolutionary Committees.

In fact, it was true. Marghani assumed that informants for the regime had been among the crowd, perhaps even taking part. Even so, he denied any part in the torched buildings.

He was brought to a tent in a courtyard, blindfolded, and grilled with questions. Beside him, at the next interrogation desk, he heard an officer play a recorded phone call to an inmate. The officer paused the recording repeatedly to ask the man if it was his voice speaking on the phone.

Marghani could hear the man on the phone call; he spoke of standing with his gun in the middle of Zawiya – a town rebels seized before entering Tripoli from the west.

“We’re going to kill Muammar like a dog,” he said on the recorded call.

When the man denied it was him, guards beat him. Marghani also received beatings
but was never tortured, though he said others were.

Marghani was moved to Jdaida, in southeast Tripoli, a dirtier prison but where inmates were allowed cigarettes and phone calls.

Marghani and others eventually learned of the fall of Zawiya and of Gharyan, to the south. Within two hours of arriving in Tripoli on August 21, rebels had freed all the inmates in Jdaida, breaking open cell doors with steel rods.

There were no common criminals in Jdaida, Marghani claimed, only political prisoners and opponents of the regime like himself.

After being freed, he spent two days with friends in Souq al-Jomaa, a staunch anti-Gaddafi neighbourhood. He then returned home to Gargaresh to see his family, who never escaped to Tunisia.

After a short visit, Marghani left again. His friends told him about a Gaddafi weapons depot hidden in the basement of a nearby apartment building, and Marghani wanted to go there to secure himself a gun.

Rebel fighters tried to tried to stop him from entering the depot, but let him through when he told them he had done time in Abu Salim. He took an AK-47 and some ammunition.

These days Marghani mans checkpoints in his neighbourhood, waiting for the conflict in Triploi to finally settle down.

“Actually, I am a doctor, a medical student,” he said. “Hopefully, I will hand over my gun and get back to a normal life.”

Tense Libyan capital celebrates ‘double’ Eid

People across Tripoli are tentatively preparing for a “double Eid” celebration to mark both the end of the Kadhafi regime and the end of Ramadan, in a city slowly returning to normal amidst the debris of recent fighting. Despite food shortages and localized sniper activity, a few shopkeepers have opened their doors, and in the markets conversation is turning from violence to its effect on the price of groceries.

So, uh, that was Gadhafi’s spokesman on the phone …

Ibrahim called to say a NATO attack on Sirte killed 1,000 people during public Eid prayers. This cannot be immediately confirmed.

He said that he thinks NATO believes Gadhafi is in Sirte, hence the alleged and unconfirmed bombing.

Wouldn’t disclose Gadhafi’s location except that he is “in Libya, of course.” Ibrahim said he himself is “somewhere south of Tripoi.”

He also told me the regime will reject the rebels’ ultimatum. “No dignified honorable nation would accept an ultimatum from armed gangs.”

He reiterated that Gadhafi wants to send his son al-Saadi (“he is famous for loving sports”) to negotiate with the rebels in #Libya.

As we say here, the alleged attack could not be immediately confirmed, and Gadhafi’s regime has consistently exaggerated casaulty tolls.

Gaddafi’s Israeli Intel Mercenaries Uncovered

Tripoli Homeland Security bunker run on Israeli equipment and personnel

The pro Gaddafi media has been on steroids shoveling out all their NATO monster stories…slaughtering civilians intentionally, destroying civilian infrastructure, etc. And when it comes to the rebel command we have heard of them being Al Qaeda led, CIA, SAS, …almost like they had a roulette wheel somewhere with all their favorite villains on in.
We now have incontrovertible proof that Israelis, working in Tripoli, actively managed Gaddafi’s intelligence services. When the inner sanctum was cranked open and BBC video teams entered, the documentation of this strange partnership was exposed for the world to see.

With Intel analysis you are also always looking for what is conspicuously missing. And in the present case, has been Israel. Despite their historically having their noses in everything in the region securitywise, there has not been a single mention.
VT has uncovered that Israel has been working so closely with the Gaddafi regime that they were running his Homeland Security Headquarters…the countrywide communications intercepts and the torture chambers downstairs.
The companies identified, French and Israel partnerships which include EADS and IAI (Israeli Aircraft Industries,) manufacturer or the EAGLE systems, drones used for surveillance, signals intelligence gathering, target acquisition and attack, are identified as contractors.
Their drones are being used in Gaza now, not just for target acquisition but

for delivering cluster munitions and American “Hellfire” ordnance as well.

There were rows and rows of hard copy archive shelving holding what was treasure trove of intercept records. Obviously phosphorus grenades must have been in short supply, or these folks took off at the last minute. But then it got better.
As the tour continued there was shot after shot of signs, admin instructions and documents…all in English !!!
Let that sink in a minute. Here were are in Tripoli, in Gaddafi’s security brain center, something which had obviously been in operation a long, long time…and the language de jour???….English.

During the Libyan war mass media gave virtually no background coverage to Gaddafi’s long time dealings with the Israelis.
We have reported here that the Gaddafi sons, particularly Saif, were shuffling back and forth to Israel, with one trip lasting a week.
The early African mercenary story with the Israeli contractor was in the Israeli print news. And Gordon Duff recent article reporting Said Gaddafi’s funding of the Africa Islamic Council’s anti-Hezbollah efforts in Lebanon.

Why was Saif doing that? The benefit to the Israelis is obvious. But what was Saif getting in return for the effort?
Was he there to borrow money maybe, or to tap into the Israeli’s talent reservior for electronic intercept hardware, software, and experienced personnel, especially the language skills necessary.
Are there other suspects, the Serbians, Turks, Belorussians, Poles, Georgians ??? What could they really bring to the table in this capacity. Nothing really.
So there are really only two choices…one of the main NATO countries, or Israel. We have placed our bet. Welcome to the real world folks. It’s a nasty place.
More will be coming on the Gaddafi white collar mercs….the civilian technicians and military officers. There is a long history here.

Female Bodyguards Say Qaddafi And Sons Raped, Abused Them

In the early days of the Libya rebellion, the fatigue-clad, heavily made-up women that surrounded Muammar Qaddafi became a source of international amusement. But Qaddafi’s eccentricity could distract from the brutality, including with those same bodyguards, several of whom have now told a Benghazi psychologist that they were repeatedly raped by the dictator and his sons.
In an interview with the Sunday Times of Malta, Seham Sergewa described the accounts of five former bodyguards she came across when trying to investigate claims of Viagra-aided mass rape by soldiers. One “was told ‘you either become a bodyguard or your brother will spend the rest of his life in prison,’” and then, before being brought to Qaddafi, told she had to take a medical test, including for HIV. According to The Times,
A pattern emerged in the stories. The women would be first raped by the dictator and then passed on, like used objects, to one of his sons and eventually to high-ranking officials for more abuse before eventually being let go.

Libyans celebrate Eid in Tripoli
Thousands pour into capital’s main square to mark the end of Ramadan and the collapse of Muammar Gaddafi’s regime.

Thousands of Libyans have gathered in Tripoli to mark the end of Ramadan and celebrate Eid al-Fitr, kneeling in prayer in Martyrs’ Square as they rejoiced in the collapse of Muammar Gaddafi’s regime.

At dawn on Wednesday, families began to pour into the square, which had been dubbed “Green Square” by Gaddafi, as women ululated in triumph and spontaneous cries of joy erupted.
“This is the best holiday of my life,” said Adel Masmoudi, who at 41 was born the year Gaddafi seized power.
An imam leading the dawn prayer urged all Libyans to stand united and hailed the ousting of “the tyrant Gaddafi”, prompting jeers from the crowd at the mention of the former leader’s name.

Rebel forces had set up a security belt around the square, as armed guards patrolled the area and snipers took position on rooftops overlooking the gathering which ended peacefully later in the morning.
The Eid celebrations had began late on Tuesday with bursts of red tracer rounds fired into the sky as a substitute for fireworks.
“This is the first time we have felt relaxed in 42 years,” Amari Abdulla, 24, told the AFP news agency.

“We will celebrate as in the past but this time it is simply better. It is a new Libya.”
While anti-Gaddafi rebels claim to have “liberated” most of the country, negotiations are still underway for the surrender of regime loyalists in Sirte, Gaddafi’s hometown.
Mustafa Abdel Jalil, chairman of the rebels’ National Transitional Council (NTC), said on Tuesday that forces loyal to Gaddafi have until Saturday to surrender or face a military assault.

Dad murders three teenage daughters raped by Gaddafi thugs

THREE young sisters raped in Libya were murdered by their own dad for bringing “shame” on the family, horrified human rights campaigners claimed last night.
The girls, aged 15, 17 and 18, had been attacked by Colonel Gaddafi’s marauding troops at a school in Tomina during a two-month siege on the nearby town of Misrata.
Their twisted dad slit their throats in an honour killing, according to the US-based group Physicians for Human Rights.
The shocking report comes as it was also claimed Gaddafi’s thugs set up “rape

camps” and used civilians, including children, as human shields in a bid to stop Nato airstrikes on the retreating troops.

“One father told PHR how soldiers forced his two young children to sit on a military tank and threatened the family, saying: ‘You’ll stay here and if Nato attacks us you will die too.’
“One witness reported that Gaddafi’s forces transformed an elementary school into a detention site where they reportedly raped women and girls as young as 14.” There were unconfirmed claims of brutal troops fuelling sex attacks with Viagra.

China:
China said Wednesday it was sending a vice-minister to “observe” a Paris conference on the future of Libya, whose rebel National Transitional Council (NTC) Beijing has not officially recognised.

Around 60 nations are expected to be represented at Thursday’s Friends of Libya conference, to be co-chaired by French President Nicolas Sarkozy and Britain’s Prime Minister David Cameron.

US Secretary General Ban Ki-moon, German Chancellor Angela Merkel and US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton have all said they will attend, while most other participants said they would send their foreign ministers.

China said it would be represented by its Vice Foreign Minister Zhai Jun at the meeting, which will seek to address the reconstruction of Libya after months of violence and decades of misrule under Moamer Kadhafi’s regime.

China’s foreign ministry said Jun would attend “as the representative and observer of the Chinese government”.

“China supports relevant parties’ efforts to restore the stability of Libya and facilitate

the stable transfer of Libya’s political power," spokesman Ma Zhaoxu said in a statement.

“We are also willing to play a positive role in the future rebuilding of Libya together with the international community.”

Hana Gaddafi
Since the rebel takeover of Tripoli, evidence has been mounting that Muammar Gaddafi may have lied about the death of his adopted baby daughter Hana in a 1986 US airstrike.

The strike hit Gaddafi’s home in his Tripoli compound, Bab al-Aziziya, in retaliation for the Libyan-sponsored bombing of a Berlin nightclub earlier that year that killed two US servicemen. At the time, Gaddafi showed American journalists a picture of a dead baby and said it was his adopted daughter Hana – the first public mention that she even existed.

Diplomats almost immediately questioned the claim. But Gaddafi kept the story alive through the years.

Then, when investigations into the 1988 Pan Am airliner bombing over Lockerbie, Scotland, pointed to a Libyan hand in the attack, some theorized that Gaddafi had ordered it to avenge Hana’s death in the US airstrike.

But when Libyan rebels took over Tripoli and Bab al-Aziziya last week,they found a room in Gaddafi’s home with Hana’s birth certificate and pictures of a young woman with the name “Hana” written on the back,possible indications that she lived well beyond infancy. A Tripoli hospital official surfaced, saying Hana worked for him as a surgeon up until the rebels came to town.

And on Tuesday, Swiss officials confirmed that Hana’s name had briefly appeared earlier this year on a Swiss government document listing the names of senior Libyan figures targeted for sanctions.

Many Libyans believe Hana was never killed and talked about her existence openly.

Adel Shaltut, a Libyan diplomat at the UN in Geneva, said it was common knowledge that Hana Gaddafi wasn’t killed in the airstrike.

“All Libyans knew from the very beginning that it’s a lie,” he told The Associated Press, saying that Hana was married and had children.

However, some in Libya believed that after Hana’s death, Gaddafi adopted another daughter and gave her the same name in a memorial tribute.

Libya’s new interim leadership knows the whereabouts of one of the former diplomats wanted for the 1984 killing of a British woman police officer outside the Libyan embassy in London, Britain’s Daily Telegraph newspaper said on Wednesday.

Libyan rebels search for Gaddafi in desert city partly built by Finns
Weapons factory camouflaged as a school
The search for Libya’s deposed dictator Muammar Gaddafi has turned eyes toward a desert city that was partly built by Finns.
The desert centre of Bani Walid, which lies 200 kilometres southeast of the capital Tripoli, was home to many Finns in the early 1980s, when Finnish companies working

together with Soviet builders, built a large building covering 200,000 square metres. The Finns designed the walls and roof, and the Soviets brought in the machinery. Officially the building was supposed to be an annex to school. Supervisors of the construction work got used to talking about a “sewing machine factory”.
However, those who were there understood that the facility would be put to completely different use. This was already suggested by the remote location and gigantic dimensions of the building.
“It is clear that such a hall was not being built for sewing machines or as a school. It was used at least for the assembly of Kalashnikov’s Soviet model assault rifles, and possibly other weapons”, says a former worker interviewed by Helsingin Sanomat.
The worker, who wishes to remain anonymous, lived in Bani Walid (sometimes also spelled Beni Walid) for about three years in the mid-1980s. He said that access to the construction area, which was surrounded by walls and barbed wire, was restricted to those with passes granted by the Libyan army.

Libya Rebels Say have ‘Right to Kill’ Gadhafi

Libya’s rebels said Wednesday Moammar Gadhafi is almost certainly in Libya and that they have a “right to kill” him, while giving the fugitive strongman’s remaining troops until Saturday to surrender.
“The information I have is this: it is 80 percent certain that Gadhafi is still in Libya,” Omar Hariri, head of military affairs, told Agence France Presse in Tripoli.
Hariri said rebels suspect Gadhafi is hiding either in Bani Walid, southeast of Tripoli, or in the outskirts of the capital. He stressed, however, that since Libya is in a state of war information changes rapidly.

Malta Today
Libya’s rebel commanders discussed Tripoli invasion in Malta
Misurata’s most senior officials were assisted by the Maltese government for secret talks at the French ambassador’s home in Zebbug, just four weeks before the rebels final assault on Tripoli.

General Ramadan Zarmuh, Colonel Ahmed Hashem, Colonel Brahim Betal Mal, and Suleiman Fortiya, Misurata’s minister on the Benghazi-based Transitional Council, were brought to Malta by sea and given special visas to land and attend the talks which were held here on 19 July.

The delegation was driven under escort by security branch police in unmarked cars to ambassador Daniel Rondeau’s home in Zebbug.

Unknown to Libyan secret service operatives, who were sent to Malta to mind him following the uprising, Libyan ambassador Saadun Suayed managed to attend the secret meeting and talk with the Misurata representatives.

Zarmuh, Hashem, Betal Mal and Fortiya reportedly discussed the preparations for the Tripoli assault, and Malta’s strategic role to further assist the operation.

The delegation from Misurata later met with French intelligence operatives at the Excelsior Hotel in Floriana, and was later secretly flown to Paris and received by President Nicolas Sarkozy at the Elysee Palace.

In Paris, the Libyan rebels secured the delivery of weapons, communications and other equipment that was to be used to arm the brigades that stormed Tripoli via Misurata and took over Col. Gaddafi’s Bab Aziziya compound.

Two weeks after the Malta meeting, the alarming news of the death of General Abdel Fatah Younes, commander of the rebel forces, forced the French government to insist on sticking to August 20 as the date during which the assault on Tripoli had to commence.

In a bid to avoid serious splits within the NTC in Benghazi, President Sarkozy gave the order to have weapons sent over to the Libya rebels.

Assisted by covert French, British and Qatari operatives, hundreds of Misurata fighters received day and night training and were regularly supplied from Malta with communication and other materials.

While weapons were dropped by French aircraft over the Nafusa mountains and in villages around Zawiya and Zliten, the French Navy assisted in the deliveries to Misurata via the French assault ship Mistral, which came to Malta twice in a week during August and departed from Malta on the morning of 20 August, reaching the Libyan coast by nightfall and assisting the rebels in their sea landing on Tripoli via Misurata.

Meanwhile, two Libyan secret service agents are set to be expelled from Malta after it was discovered that they sent diplomatic cables to Tripoli throughout the uprising, giving names of Libyan dissidents in Malta.

The names include prominent Libyan dissident Tarek Tarhouni and businessman Mario Debono, who were earmarked as ‘conspirators’ against the regime.

Tarhouni and Debono fronted the I-Go Libya Foundation which provided humanitarian aid for Misurata.

The cables were intercepted by the French secret service and copies of which have been seen by senior government officials.

While Tarek Tarhouni is in Tripoli at the moment and unable to react, Mario Debono told MaltaToday that all he did was to help the Libyan people at this difficult moment.

“It shows that Col. Gaddafi had something for who was providing humanitarian aid to

his people,” Debono said, adding that he lost many Libyan friends during the revolution.

“Every life of a friend lost during the revolution doubled my resolve to help the Libyan people, and I will continue to do it for as long as it is necessary,” he said.

Spokesmen for both the Office of the Prime Minister and the Foreign Ministry did not reply to requests sent in MaltaToday.

GADDAFI AND THE TOUAREG: Love, hate and petro-dollars

Touareg attitudes to Gaddafi vary wildly, depending on country of origin and history (First published by Monocle Magazine – Online only, March 2011)

If Gaddafi goes, then the Touareg will be in great danger. But Gaddafi hasn’t been recruiting in Kidal. I don’t think so anyway.”
Despite Ahmed’s claims, it now seems certain that up to 800 young Touareg have been lured north from Mali and Niger to go and fight as mercenaries for Gaddafi since the start of the Libyan uprising. This is unsurprising perhaps if you consider the dire state of poverty and joblessness in the southern Sahara. Decades of drought, under-development and ethnic conflict have recently been exacerbated by the presence of Al-Qaeda In the Islamic Maghreb (AQIM) whose kidnappings have put an end to tourism and foreign investment in the region. Gaddafi’s promise of arms and petrodollars represent a pill of hope, albeit a bitter tasting one. Some Touareg youth feel they have no option but to swallow it.

KHAMIS DEATH: DETAILS:
“Their flight came as rebels hailed the death of #Gaddafi ’s youngest son, Khamis, the commander of one of the most feared military units, in fighting to the south of the capital at the weekend.

Only hours beforehand Khamis was present for a final meeting with his father and heavily pregnant sister at the Salahuddin military barracks in the southern suburbs of #Tripoli.

Abdusalam Taher Ali, a soldier who was present, said: “We were trying to hold the southern suburbs when we were suddenly told to retreat to barracks for a new mission.

We saw Khamis, Gaddafi’s son, dressed in green military fatigues. Then Gaddafi himself arrived in an ordinary civilian car.
“At the same time, Aisha drove in separately in a white Hyundai saloon. They were both in civilian clothes and were accompanied by two bodyguards.” Mr Ali, who is being held by rebels, then described how Gaddafi and his son — but not Aisha — huddled together for a family talk lasting 10 to 15 minutes.
“They had their backs to me. I could not hear what they were saying,” he said. “But their body language looked worried.” Separating after their talk, Gaddafi and Aisha changed cars, getting into two Toyota Land Cruisers. They left, heading to the south in a 25-car convoy, he said.
“As they got in, I heard one of the drivers say that they would be going toward the city of Sabha,” he said.

#Sabha, in the middle of the Sahara, has long been mooted as the dictator’s final redoubt.
Bidding their farewells, the dictator and his daughter stepped into the convoy and sped away.
Outside the compound, television camera crews noted a sudden blast of gunfire aimed at the encircling rebels at 1.30pm.

What appeared to be a last act of defiance from the loyalists camped inside, now appears to have been covering fire for Gaddafi’s retreat from Tripoli.
Khamis then gathered the 90 or so soldiers, including Mr Ali, around him for what was to prove his final journey.

“He looked a little bit nervous,” said Mr Ali. “He told us to be ready, we were going to #BaniWalid.”
The town, about 95 miles to the south-east of Tripoli, was on the only route not under rebel control.

Mr Ali said there were 60 vehicles in the convoy, ranging from ordinary cars to ammunition lorries, anti-aircraft artillery pieces and truck-mounted machineguns.

“At first Khamis decided to ride in a Mercedes,” he said. “Then he got out and rode in an armoured Toyota Land Cruiser. I closed the door behind him and we set out.”
That same armoured Land Cruiser now stands, burned out and wrecked, its armoured glass broken and melted.
The wreckage lies just outside the town of Tarhouna, about 80 miles south-east of Tripoli, where it was ambushed by rebel soldiers before it reached Bani Walid.

None of its occupants survived, says Mr Ali, who was travelling three vehicles behind.
“When the attack started, Khamis stopped the car and talked to us all,” Mr Ali said.
“He said we must counterattack and then he drove forward. But they shot out his tyres, he was stuck on the road and then the fire was all around him. The car was a mass of flame. Nobody could have survived it.”

Col Abdurazzik al-Nathuri, the deputy commander of rebel forces in #Tarhouna, said: “We had advance warning that the Khamis convoy was coming from our scouts along the road 20 miles ahead.
“So our patrol came along the side of the road and hid. There were protection cars first, but they did not see us and went back to tell the main convoy that it was safe to approach.
“Then we attacked, with rocket-propelled grenades and anti-aircraft guns.

“We killed 15 members of the convoy and took 13 prisoners. We have no doubt that Khamis was among the dead in the armoured Toyota, because the prisoners told us he was.
“There were only three people in that car, they said, and we pulled out three bodies. Khamis had no chance to escape, the battle was too intense.”
The rebels took photographs and DNA samples from the bodies before burying them, he said.
Where Gaddafi went after leaving his son remains unclear.

But with exits from the city to the south blocked by rebel forces, the convoy is thought to have taken a loop east and then south towards Bani Walid.

Reports, emanating from Libyan diplomatic sources, claimed that the colonel met there with his trusted sons #Saif al-Islam and Saadi as recently as Monday.
Last night Ali Tarhouni, the oil and economy
minister in the transitional government, said rebels now had a “very good idea” of Gaddafi’s whereabouts.

Aisha was later to join her mother and brothers as a separate convoy of 31 people

made its way across the country towards Algeria. “People from the Touareg tribe helped them find their way into Algeria,” said Shamsiddin Ben-Ali, a spokesman for the transitional council.

It was reported last night that Aisha Gaddafi named her daughter Safiya after her grandmother. The daily newspaper Ennahar also reported that the family had been placed under house arrest.
The birth could create a stumbling block for efforts to extradite the Gaddafis because she was born on Algerian soil.
Algeria is the only north African nation not to have recognised the transitional council as the legitimate leaders of Libya and has retained links to Gaddafi throughout the conflict.”
www.telegraph.co.uk/news/worldnews/afri...

#ALGERIA VIOLATED #UN #Libya travel ban on Dictator’s children: "Gadhafi ’s two sons who fled, Hannibal and Mohammed, along with his daughter, Aisha, are specifically named in the U.N. travel ban for “closeness of association with (the) regime.”

“We care, in terms of the fact that under U.N. Security Council Resolution 1970, the Gadhafi family was subject to a travel ban,” Nuland said. “So, they have now traveled.

The government of Algeria has now sent a letter to the UN. We are reviewing that letter now in New York but, clearly, there has to be an international community decision and response in regard to the travel ban restrictions that (the resolution) imposes.”

Former Qaddafi Mercenaries Describe Fighting in Libyan War

To prove he had been in Libya he produced a document — with a passport photo attached and a stamp from the Malian consulate in Tamanrasset — identifying him as a refugee from Libya. He said that that he went to Libya in 2007 with his wife and children. They were given short-term residence papers in exchange for his enlistment in the Libyan army. He was assigned to a Tuareg brigade in the southern town of Awbari.

Two years ago, he was granted full residency status. In addition to the 1,500 dinars (about $1,300) he was paid per month — much of which he sent back to family living in small encampments near Timbuktu — his wife and children received free medical care, and his children went to a Libyan school. “A very good school,” he said. He was promised a house and a car if he stayed in the army. “They always promised a house and a car, but very few Tuareg ever got them,” he said. “I think Qaddafi tried very hard to keep the Tuareg in Libya. I think he smelled something was coming.”

When the protests began in Tripoli, his unit was attached to the infamous 32nd brigade, led by Qaddafi’s son Khamis, and was sent to disperse the unarmed marchers. “That was easy,” he said with startling nonchalance. “We would kill three or four in the front of the crowd and they all ran away. It was very easy.”

I asked if he had seen any civilians killed. In Misrata, he says, “We tried to find everyone there. One half of the city was cleaned.”

“What do you mean ‘cleaned?’” I asked.

“The people were killed. Women, children, everyone there.”

Who did the killing?

Libyan Revolution : Aisha Qaddafi’s baby boom !!
The Algerian authorities announced yesterday that Aisha Qaddafi has delivered a baby girl yesterday in Algeria after less than 24 hours from her arrival along with 30 members of Qaddafi clan including her mom and 2 of her brothers. According to the Algerian press the Algerian president let the Qaddafi clan enter the country after knowing that Aisha was giving a baby.
Now there is something interesting I found thanks to tweeps , in early June 2011 Aisha Qaddafi filed a complaint before Belgian courts for war crimes against NATO after the raid of the alliance that allegedly killed her younger brother Seif Al Arab Qaddafi. This news included a very interesting detail because in that complaint Aisha claimed that the NATO raid on April 30,2011 killed her 4 months baby girl

“Mastoura” along with her brothers’ kids “Seif” and “Carthage”
This was an official complaint that was rejected by the court in Belgium on July 28th. Interestingly enough here is an interview with Aisha Qaddafi after the alleged attack in French and she did not seem pregnant to me.
Before that raid and that interview Aisha addressed the public in a stupid speech if you remember, I searched in her photos to see if there is any baby bump and honestly I can’t judge based on the photos as she is tall and slim.

Still how could Aisha Qaddafi have a 4 months baby in April 2011 and later gave a birth to another baby in August 2011 !? Either she hires surrogate mothers or there is another option : There is no Mastoura or there is new baby girl born in Algeria or may be there is Mastoura but there is no new baby girl. Of course there is another crazy explanation : She got two wombs , oh yes there are women who got two wombs !!!
May be baby Mastoura and her uncle Seif Al Arab along his kids are still alive just like his adopted sister Hana whom the Libyans are insisting that she is alive after 25 years of Qaddafi’s claims that she was killed.
Libya has demanded officially Algeria to hand over these runaways.

Libya: Col Gaddafi’s family dash across desert to Algeria

Last Friday, more than three days after the fall of Col Muammar Gaddafi’s Bab al-Azizia compound, the soldiers of the Khamis Brigade in southern Tripoli were told to stand by for an important visitor.
Soon afterwards Gaddafi, sitting in the back seat of a black Hyundai saloon and dressed in a green civilian shirt and trousers, was driven through the gate.

Such was the chaotic nature of their flight that, at one point, they blundered across the wrong border — entering into Tunisia before reaching Algeria thanks only to the intervention of local tribesmen.

Arriving in Tunisia, which has had its own revolution, could have resulted in their arrest rather than sanctuary.

AJE’s Jamal Elshayyal uncovers evidence that David Welch and Dennis Kucinich may have gone to bat for Gaddafi regime

Communication with US officials
I managed to smuggle away some documents, among them some that indicate the Gaddafi regime, despite its constant anti-American rhetoric – maintained direct communications with influential figures in the US.
I found what appeared to be the minutes of a meeting between senior Libyan officials – Abubakr Alzleitny and Mohammed Ahmed Ismail – and David Welch, the former assistant secretary of state who served under George W Bush and the man who brokered the deal which restored diplomatic relations between the US and Libya in 2008.
Welch now works for Bechtel, a multinational American company with billion dollar construction deals across the Middle East. The documents record that, on August 2, 2011, David Welch met with Gaddafi’s officials at the Four Seasons Hotel in Cairo, just a few blocks from the US embassy there.
During that meeting Welch advised Gaddafi’s team on how to win the propaganda war – suggesting several “confidence building measures”, the documents said. The documents appear to indicate that an influential US political personality was advising Gaddafi on how to beat the US and NATO.
Minutes of this meeting note his advice on how to undermine Libya’s rebel movement,

with the potential assistance of foreign intelligence agencies, including Israel. “Any information related to al-Qaeda or other terrorist extremist organisations should be found and given to the American administration but only via the intelligence agencies of either Israel, Egypt, Morroco, or Jordan… America will listen to them… It’s better to receive this information as if it originated from those countries…”
The papers also document that Welch advised Gaddafi’s regime to take advantage of the current unrest in Syria, pointing out: “The importance of taking advantage of the Syrian situation particularly regarding the double-standard policy adopted by Washington… the Syrians were never your friends and you would loose nothing from exploiting the situation there in order to embarrass the West.”

Desert town of Bin Jawad pays price of betrayal

BIN JAWAD, Libya — Burned and ransacked houses in the Libyan desert town of Bin Jawad, east of Sirte, serve as evidence that fighters have not forgotten or forgiven an act of betrayal dating back several months.
Gaddafi’s troops were invited back to kill.

“Dozens of our men were struck down like dogs, as they slept or in the mosque,” said Omar, a 30-year-old fighter whose combat group, the Zintan Brigade, is back in Bin Jawad with Gaddafi’s home town of Sirte again in sight.

Guardian UK
Libya’s unlikely rebel with a cause against Gaddafi
When the history of the 2011 Libyan revolution is written, it will consist largely of the stories of hundreds of men like Walid Danna.
Cosmopolitan, travelled, an urban professional with a penchant for fishing, watching movies and drinking latte, Danna was living the quiet life in Tripoli with his family – mother, father, four brothers and his younger sister. In his spare time he hung out with his friends in the cafes of the capital, or else swam in the Mediterranean or worked out.

Before February, he was indifferent to the Gaddafi clan, happy enough to bank a decent salary as an oil engineer. He had studied in London for a master’s in business administration. He had never even seen a machine gun, still less handled one.

Why Does Muammar Qaddafi Own a Mansion in New Jersey?

Almost thirty years ago, in 1982, the Libyan government paid a million bucks for this three-story, 10,000 square foot, 25-bedroom mansion, which they inexplicably named “Thunder Rock,” on Palisade Avenue in Englewood, a suburb in Bergen County. It’s a bizarre choice of neighborhood for a government that has made a habit of bankrolling terrorists and talking about how much they hate Israel, considering it’s right smack in the middle of a sizeable Orthodox Jewish community. In fact, Thunder Rock is directly next door to the largest yeshiva in town, and just a short walk from the home of one Rabbi Shmuley Boteach, who, if in case you missed that episode of Oprah, is an outspoken leader in the American Jewish community and a former spiritual mentor to Michael Jackson.

If you study the sociology of students in j-school, you’d have a pretty acute idea of why journalism is in such a deplorable state. #lazy
Another huge problem is the shallowness of a j-school education. Students want to report about the ME with no knowledge of its history.

My friend was reporting frm Libya – called her peers “wannabe war-heroes” but were incredibly lazy when it came to real reporting.
In the context of my experiences in j-school, none of this is a surprise. They don’t care about people, only their byline.
very rarely you come across excellent journalists
Journo friend said her peers had little interest in learning about local culture. Simply wanted to get the story out
Hence, sweeping generalizations and flat out nonsense about MENA and its peoples
You know how sometimes we’re shocked when actors don’t believe a word they utter on film? Same for journos. It’s a gig
man if you met some of my classmates, none of this is shocking. All Greek society airheads or Andy Cooper wannabes.
tv news is the WORST. I’ve spent some time in the newsroom, and it’s all theatrics and narcissism.
As news consumers, you need to be skeptical of everything you hear, contextualize it and read between the lines.
Hence, sweeping generalizations and flat out nonsense about MENA and its peoples
And realize that some journos are orientalist bastards.
