If only this net connection allowed for video uploads, got some great footage from around Tripoli.

On the whole though, Tripoli is a very safe place and there are fewer checkpoints and more families out and about every day.

The TNC unified the ppl, gave us a form of leadership that we needed in a time of

crisis, it came about against all odds & did its job!

TNC rallied the world 2 recognise the Libyan ppls revolution, discredit Gaddafi and apply the NFZ, show me a more effective organisation!

Now some very dubious characters sowing seeds of hate 2 try 2 destroy it 2 meet their political agendas,many ppl r being parrots & following

When I saw them walk down the planes steps in Tripoli earlier,had a few tears in my eyes, amazing success, we dreamt of this

Ppl can be so ungrateful.Many ppl lost their lives 4 these moments,endured torture,now some can’t be patient 4 a few months!

destructive criticism = pro-Gadhafi paid people… I think that is obvious. normal ppl are too happy to see the minor issues.

National Transitional Council fighters entered Bani Walid on Friday night, and snipers responded with live fire.

The town is one of the last three major flashpoint cities under control of Gaddafi loyalists, according to reports.

Libyans must avoid labels of Islamist,Liberal,Secular,Eastern,Western etc. It kills fruitful constructive democratic debate

Majority of Libyans don’t fall into one particular category like Islamist, Liberal,Secular etc. We are Free Patriotic Libyans

We must not stigmatise each other & create divisions via labels like Islamist/Liberal/Secular/Left/Right. We are free brothers

At this stage of Libya we need to act like a coalition government putting aside differences for greater good of our country

We must focus on the commonalities in our political thinking & build on them and not focus on our differences & stall progress

Let us treat people of different politicalviews as brothers we can gain beneficial ideas from, not enemies we must defeat

As Libyans we have the same goals Justice, Freedom , Human dignity, Democracy , a Government that serves us & not rules us

Our greatest asset as #feb17 is our common dream of Justice, Freedom , Human dignity & Democracy. It must not be pursuit of Power

I’m from Tripoli, I’m from Benghazi, I’m From Nafusa, I’m from Fezan. I’m not Leftist/Right/Secular/Islamist. I’m a Free Libyan

Let no Libyan ever say I did this & that for #feb17. That was your duty to your God & your country. It’s not a bragging contest

Why #Misrata FFs are so mad with the #NTC? Or are they mad with #Jibril? I think we need to stay united.

Misrata has the right to blame and criticize the #NTC but they simply can’t separate

themselves from the rest of #Libya.

I hope there’s no dirty politics going on. I hate to even talk about it. People please have some brain

Misrata not recognizing the NTC recently. They’re revolting. I hope, changes after M. Jalil visit

#Libya: Tripoli healthcare is still an abysmal mess. Yet there’s talk of pulling injured FFs back there from Tunisia to cut costs.

#Libya: A FF friend from Misrata just had me read a heartbreaking letter from the injured FFs to the NTC. Same concerns I have.

But coming from them, it was so very poignant. I wept with rage and grief. This is not how a grateful nation should act.

FIGHTERS BRINGING BATTLE TO SIRTE
Fighting is raging as NTC fighters seek to wrest control of Muammar Gaddafi’s hometown of Sirte — one of the last outposts for the former Libyan leader’s loyalists.
As a deadline expired for Gaddafi’s forces in Sirte to surrender, the wounded started pouring into a nearby hospital.

Very good news about the famous Epic Libyan Man “Hassan Marymi”. I thought he was tortured and killed by G thugs. He is alive and kicking.
He was captured in the first few days of the revolution (feb 20) for burning tires in Martyrs Square, but for a strange reason he was set free. He then went back to Zawyia to fight with his cousins. When Gaddafi invaded Zawya he went underground and hid with his mates until FF from Nafousa mountains reached to liberate Zawyia.
He is not just brave, but also wise and humble. Here is his recent long interview (its in Arabic). Note at 4:55 how he puts dowm his weapon when asked to say something to Gaddafi supporters, so that he doesn’t look threatening. I think many reckless FF would have waved their AK-47 or shot in the air in challenge. I think his gesture, if done in purpose, was more powerful. Bless him.

Gaddafi’s ghost town after the loyalists retreat
Until last month, the town of Tawarga was home to 10,000 civilians.
But as dusk fell over it last week, the apartment blocks stretched, black and dead, into the distance, and the only things moving were sheep.
This pro-Gaddafi settlement has been emptied of its people, vandalised and partly burned by rebel forces. The Sunday Telegraph was the first to visit the scene of what appears to be the first major reprisal against supporters of the former regime.

A Free Libya (This Is War)

The revolution isn’t over, but with the liberation of Tripoli the biggest part of the battle is complete.

This is in honor of families who grew up outside of their country. Of fathers and mothers who persevered through difficult times raising their children in a foreign country. For the thuwar who fought and continue to fight until the end. And so importantly, those who gave up their lives for this. Kulhum shaheed inshallah.

Infighting between Libyan rebels kills 12 as Qaddafi strongholds receive assaults
At least 12 people were killed and many more wounded when two groups of fighters opposed to Muammar Qaddafi turned on each other in Libya’s west, two officials said on Sunday.

The fighting, which has its roots in ancient rivalries and pitted combatants from the towns of Gharyan and Kikla on the one side and from Asabah on the other, broke out on Saturday, according to the chief of the Gharyan council and confirmed by the head of the military council of Asabah.

The towns are on the eastern edge of the Nafusa mountains and were important centers of resistance to Muammar Qaddafi’s forces in months of fighting to oust the strongman.

NATO Strikes Pro-Qaddafi Areas in Libya

NATO warplanes struck several targets in areas still loyal to fugitive leader Muammar Qaddafi as revolutionary forces said Sunday they had to retreat after coming under heavy fire.
A military commander for former rebels near Bani Walid, Abdel-Razak al-Nadouri, said Sunday a sizable force pushed into the town but met heavy resistance and NATO asked them to pull back to allow for the airstrikes

“He was in a convoy of nine people. They were intercepted heading in the direction of Agadez,” Marou Adamou told a news conference, referring to the northern town through which at least two previous convoys of Gaddafi loyalists have entered in the

The village has approx. 2000 people. But, every youth member, stood firm against this

attack. Rifles versus AA guns #Libya #Sebha

When G-forces approached the village, heavy fighting erupted, but, they pushed their

way shooting homes with the indp. flag #Libya

The youth stood firm, and ‘Sanad Abdullah Madi’ was Tamanhint’s first shaheed. He fearlessly tried to attack them, but was matyred

Al Jazeera’s Yvonne Ndege, reports from Agadez in Niger:
What we have managed to establish speaking to security sources is that there was a convoy that left Libya heading to Niger. There were 8 or 9 vehicles, and this is a 1000 to 2000km journey to Agadez, the town where I am in, and where the convoy is reportedly headed. The vehicles were intercepted by Nigerien authorities and it was found that Gaddafi’s son Saadi Gaddafi and other senior officials were on board the convoy.

Al Jazeera’s Hashem Ahelbarra , reported on Jibril’s speech from the Libyan capital:

The decision to bring all the military councils under the authority of the NTC and Mustafa Abdel Jalil is quite significant and a turning point but it is already backfiring.
You have two kinds of leadership, the political leadership, which is represented by the chairman Mustafa Abdel Jalil and the prime minister of the interim government Mahmoud Jibril. You have the military leadership represented by two extremely powerful guys, Hakim bi Haj, who is the military commander of Tripoli and Ismail al-Salaabi from Benghazi, both of them are considered Islamists.The NTC is considered liberal.
The military council rejects the idea of joining the NTC and they are considering this move an attack to hijack their revolution and rain on their authority. They say they are the ones who have been fighting colonel Gaddafi for 6 months, and they are the ones who should represent the wish of the Libyan people.
Sources from the military council told Al Jazeera that they reject the move and they will now ask for Mahmoud Jibril to quit. This is quite significant, it shows that differences and divisions are beginning to emerge.

Al Jazeera’s correspondent Hashem Ahelbarra reports from Tripoli about the latest developments in Libya
I spoke to a fighter in Bani Walid who told me that the anti-Gaddafi forces managed to enter five districts in Bani Walid. They are trying to give the anti-Gaddafi forces time to reposition, to wait for reinforcements and then mnake the final push towards taking over the city..

Aljazeera
Regarding the arrest of Bouzaid Dorda

Bouzaid Dorda, describesd as one of the most trusted lieutenants of Gaddafi, has been arrested in the capital. He has been with Gaddafi for very many years.. his arrest will definitely provide the revolutionary forces with a trove of intelligence about the whereabouts of some senior Gaddafi leadership, as well as information about weapons stores..

SayNoToGaddafi
Sebha is more anti Gaddafi than Sirte, Bani Walid and many other cities. No offence to those cities.

Inshalla when Libya is all free, everyone with have mutual respect for each other. Realising that …

although one bad egg exists in every place. It is does not mean the whole place is that bad!

I should reiterate that Wadi Shati is also not free. The kateeba moving south is trying to free that area.

For those who do not know. Shalgam is from the Hatman Tribe from the city of Birgin in Wadi Shatti.

Wadi Shati consists of 7 settlements. So the fight for the southern crossroad will be difficult.

Libya: Gaddafi loyalists ‘using prisoners as human shields to protect Sirte’
Libya’s transitional leaders battling to take Muammar Gaddafi’s home town of Sirte fear regime loyalists have taken more than 300 people prisoner to use as human shields
A deadline for the city’s peaceful surrender passed on Saturday but anti-Gaddafi fighters have struggled to make any progress in moving on the last bastion of resistance along Libya’s Mediterranean coast.
They now believe opposition figures inside Sirte have been rounded up and taken to the village of Qaar bu Hadi, about 10 miles to the east of the city, blocking the advancing forces.
Fathi Baja, head of political affairs for the National Transitional Council (NTC), told McClatchy Newspapers that on Thursday as many as 300 hostages had been moved to the village – a stronghold of Gaddafi’s Gaddafa tribe – to be used as “human shields” to prevent any advance on the city.
They include several prominent supporters of the NTC, he said.

WAITING FOR GADDAFI

It was 22 years ago and I was covering a meeting of the Libyan Leader Muammar Gaddafi and Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak in Egypt at the border town of Marsa Matrouh.

Gaddafi’s bodyguards caught my attention. Two or three were female with AK-47 rifles and one was pregnant. I found this interesting and definitely out of the ordinary, so I photographed her. This picture was widely used. A few years later, I was told a story in Cairo about a French photographer who disappeared after taking pictures of a female bodyguard who got pregnant by Gaddafi. Was it supposed to be me?

“He was in a convoy of nine people. They were intercepted heading in the direction of Agadez,” Marou Adamou told a news conference, referring to the northern town through which at least two previous convoys of Gaddafi loyalists have entered in the past week.

A senior Niger official said on Friday that the African nation would respect its commitments to the International Criminal Court if Libya’s Muammar Gaddafi or his sons entered.

He also said Libya would form a new, more inclusive interim government within the next 7-10 days.

“People have died from the two sides,” he shot back at a former fighter who remarked

that many had died in the near seven-month-old Libyan conflict.
“You had two parties, one of them was an existing regime and the other was the people who rebelled against it and that’s the truth.”

“I did not deny assuming any official post. Did I deny it? Did I deny it? Did I deny it? I was carrying out my duties.”

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.
These freedom fighters displayed immense courage, bravery and comradeship and united, showcasing one of the most amazing acts of people power in modern history.
Between the sporadic gunfire and scud missiles, bellowing in the boroughs of Tripoli; a new conflict emerged outside the battlefield. A war was waged online, men and women, young and old were supporting Gaddafi’s government without ever having lived under his regime, or stepped on Libyan soil.
While revolutionaries fought with small arms, and improvised artillery mounts on pickup trucks, the (mostly) Western warriors used social networking sites such as Facebook, Twitter and blogs as their weapon of choice to launch their counter attacks online, engaging in cyber, psychological warfare.

Libya’s Rebels to Deal Gaddafi Death Blow

Libya’s opposition fighters are reportedly preparing to carry out their final attacks on the cities, which have remained loyal to the country’s fugitive dictator Muammar Gaddafi.
Revolutionaries were anticipating higher-up orders on Sunday to attack either the city of Bani Walid in the northwest or Gaddafi’s north-central hometown of Sirte, AFP reported.
A deadline proposed by the opposition National Transitional Council (NTC) for the pro-Gaddafi forces to lay down their arms expired on Saturday.
The director of the NTC military affairs, Omar al-Hariri, says it could take the fighters up to a week to take over the dictator’s remaining strongholds.

Gaddafi son found as NTC rallies forces

Battles continue for Bani Walid and Sirte as Gaddafi’s son Saadi is located and his former external spy chief arrested.
Libya’s National Transitional Council (NTC) has called for a united front against the remaining forces of Muammar Gaddafi on a day when the former dictator’s son was intercepted while fleeing the country and the leader of his external spy service was arrested.
Al Jazeera correspondent Yvonne Ndege in Agadez, Niger, was told by security sources that a convoy of eight or nine vehicles were stopped while passing through the desert that separates the two countries.
“The vehicles were intercepted by Niger’s authorities and it was found that Gaddafi’s son Saadi Gaddafi and other senior officials were onboard the convoy,” said Ndege.
The report was also confirmed by Amadou Morou, Niger’s government spokesman and also its minister of justice.
“At this moment the convoy is en route to Agadez northern Niger. The convoy could arrive in Niamey the capital between now and tomorrow,” he added.

Saadi, 38, the third of Kadhafi’s seven sons, is regarded as a playboy who renounced a football career in 2004 to join the army, where he led an elite unit.

Separately on Sunday, Bouzaid Dorda, the head of Gaddafi’s external security organisation, was arrested in Tripoli.
Dorda, a former prime minister, will be handed over to the NTC later on Sunday, an anti-Gaddafi fighter said.
He is one of several former government officials rounded up since Tripoli fell last month.
Gaddafi’s foreign minister, Abdelati Obeidi, was arrested on August 31 in a suburb west of Tripoli.
Gaddafi himself remains on the run and a handful of towns in Libya remain under the control of his followers.

NTC fighters had given holdout towns a deadline of Saturday to surrender, and have been fighting since Friday inside the town of Bani Walid.

Libya’s National Transitional Council is to form a transitional government within a week to ten days, NTC leader Mahmoud Jibril has said.
“The new transitional government will be formed from members from all regions of Libya, including those that are under siege and have not yet been liberated,” he said as cited by Reuters.
Mahmoud Jibril also said Libya has got its oil production facilities back online, but declined to clarify where or how much oil the country is producing, RT reported.

Dubai Following months of disruptions amid the political turmoil in Libya, Royal Jordanian yesterday said it would shortly resume flights to the Libyan cities of Tripoli and Benghazi.
“Royal Jordanian is expected to resume its flights to Benghazi by the end of this week and to Tripoli immediately after,” the Amman-based carrier said in a statement.
The carrier’s President and CEO, Hussain Dabbas, said in a statement that the airline will restart operations between Amman, and Tripoli and Benghazi once all the necessary approvals are obtained from the concerned authorities — “expected soon” — as well as when the Libyan airports’ readiness to receive flights is ensured.
He added that initially the flights to Benghazi and Tripoli will be “frequent, probably daily”, to accommodate the “strong demand” on travel between the two countries.

Libyan rebels said they were delaying an assault on one of the last bastions of fugitive leader Muammar Gaddafi after meeting fierce resistance, Arab media reported Monday. The spokesperson for the National Transitional Council (NTC) government Ahmed Bani told reporters “the plan for Bani Walid for now was to wait”.

Reuters
Reuters news agency is reporting that pro-Gaddafi forces have attacked an oil refinery near Ras Lanuf, a coastal town located approximately 200km east of Sirte – Muammar Gaddafi’s hometown. The refinery was 20km away from the residential area of Ras Lanuf and it is unclear whether the attack was an operational hit, the report said. The attack has not damaged the main site of the oil refinery near Ras Lanuf, only the front gate, Reuters reports, citing witnesses.

Libyan oil firm the Arabian Gulf Oil Company (Agoco) said on Monday it has restarted production at the eastern oilfield of Sarir in an early sign the industry is coming back to life after six months of war. ”We now in Sarir have 70 wells in production,” said Abdeljalil Mayuf, spokesman for Agoco. He said they are planning to restart the refinery of Sarir and that the first crude oil will be sent to the Tobruk export terminal on Tuesday. Current output is 50,000 barrels per day, he said.

AP
Dozens of cars loaded with Libyan families and personal belongings are streaming out of the key loyalist stronghold of Bani Walid in anticipation of an assault on the town by revolutionary forces.
Former rebels have been battling Gadhafi supporters in Bani Walid since Friday and have captured most of the northern half of the town, some 90 miles (140 kilometers) southeast of Tripoli. But Gadhafi supporters have put up fierce resistance, fighting former rebels in the streets. Resident Fadila Salim was driving out of Bani Walid Monday because she was told “the fighting will be very bad.”
Her son, Mohammed Ibrahim, says there is no electricity, no water and shops are running out of food. He says many are “stuck in their houses and afraid to leave.”

Animal-rescue experts help Tripoli Zoo

In a city slashed by war, a tiger fights for life.
Osama, a Siberian tiger at the Tripoli Zoo, has been suffering for days. He is on his side, breathing shallowly, his huge paws motionless — caramel, black-and-white-striped fur covered with flies that he is too weak to brush off.
A team of animal-welfare experts from Austria’s Four Paws International gently rolls the tiger over and Dr. Amir Khalil, dripping sweat, searches for a vein, then puts in an IV drip to give the animal vitamins.
Asked why the tiger is so sick, the veterinarian replies, “Honestly, we don’t know but I believe he’s old, 21 years. That’s number one. Number two, it was a lot of stress in the surroundings here.”

Foreign Ministry: Ukrainians detained in Libya not complaining about health, provided with food, water

The health of a group of Ukrainians detained in Libya is satisfactory, and talks on their release are continuing, the Ukrainian Foreign Ministry has reported.

“Ukrainian diplomats came to see the detained Ukrainians yesterday. They are not complaining about their health, and they have been provided with food and water,” Foreign Ministry spokesman Oleksandr Dykusarov told Interfax-Ukraine on Sept. 12.

He said that talks on the release of the Ukrainian citizens were being conducted at various levels.

As reported, the Ukrainian Foreign Ministry on September 5 confirmed the detention in Libya of 23 Ukrainian civilian specialists. One of them has already been released with the assistance of diplomats, and the rest are still being checked.

The ministry said that 19 of the Ukrainian citizens were being held in a dormitory, and three others were at the nearby Mitiga Airport.

Sabri Shadi was basically head of anything aviation in Libya for the past few years. He was a very corrupt individual

His very poor management of Afriqiyah and Libyan airlines led to libya’s worst aviation

disaster in May 2010 (Afriqiyah A330)

Stealing much of the budget for Libyan Airlines and squeezing the airline out, he was a favourite of the Gaddafi’s

Sabri Shadi was directly involved in recruiting and flying in Mercenaries during the revolution. He has been in Lebanon for months now

A request by the NTC has been sent to the Lebanese gov for the extradition of Sabri. However he is a ‘legal resident’ in lebanon.

Gadhafi used Chinese guns to kill rebels?

DHARAMSHALA, September 12: In an audacious violation of UN sanctions, Chinese state-controlled arms manufacturers struck deals with the embattled Gadhafi regime to sell weapons and ammunition worth at least $200-million late July.

In documents obtained by a Canadian daily, The Globe and Mail, last week, Col. Gadhafi’s security officials from Tripoli arrived in Beijing on July 16, and in the following days met with officials from three state-controlled weapons manufacturers in China for shipment of truck-mounted rocket launchers; fuel-air explosive missiles; and anti-tank missiles, among others.

“The Chinese companies thanked the Libyans for their discretion, emphasised the need for confidentiality, and promised to manufacture more supplies if necessary,” the secret documents revealed.

The documents have confirmed earlier suspicions that Beijing ‘s reluctance in endorsing NATO’s actions in Libya may have stemmed from its covert support of the Gadhafi regime.

China last week denied the allegations, but conceded that Libyan officials had visited China in July for talks with “interested companies.”

“Chinese companies have not provided military products to Libya in any direct or indirect form. Chinese companies did not sign arm sales contracts and they did not export military products to Libya,” foreign ministry spokeswoman Jiang Yu told journalists.

However, senior leaders of the new transitional government in Tripoli say the four-page memo, discovered in a pile of trash in a neighbourhood known as Bab Akkarah, where several of Col. Gadhafi’s most loyal supporters had lavish homes, reinforce their suspicions about the recent actions of China.

Omar Hariri, the head of Libya’s rebel National Transitional Council’s (NTC) military committee, reviewed the documents and concluded they explained the presence of new weapons on the battlefield, The Globe and Mail said.

“I’m almost certain that these guns arrived and were used against our people,” Hariri said.

A rebel military spokesman, Abdulrahman Busin, told reporters last Sunday that the transitional government would seek accountability through appropriate international channels warning that any country that had violated the sanctions would have poor prospects for business and other dealings with Libya, an oil-rich country.

A senior official at the Arabian Gulf Oil Co., in Benghazi, told The Globe and Mail last month that he would be reluctant to do business with Chinese companies in future because of their government’s stand against the rebellion.

His arms bore marks of torture – inflicted at the hands of the rebels

The prisoner’s thin arms were the first giveaway. They were pocked with fresh, round scars – the distinctive marks of cigarette burns. Cuts criss-crossed his arms and his left wrist was swollen.
Tortured prisoners are a familiar sight in Libyan jails but the captive at Jdeibah prison in Tripoli was no victim of Colonel Gaddafi’s regime, but a prisoner of those who now control the Libyan capital. His wounds serve as a grim warning of the challenges the country faces as it emerges from four decades of institutionalised brutality. The man with the burn marks, Khalid Abdul Jalil Mohammed, 25, served as a soldier in Muammar Gaddafi’s army. He was arrested a week ago at a checkpoint in Tripoli and was accused of killing people as he fought for the old regime.

Libya: Gaddafi’s Birthplace Surrounded, As Son Bolts

Military men in Libya’s new regime are edging ever closer to Sirte, Muammar Gaddafi’s birthplace, a full-scale assault to rid the city of loyalist to the old regime is imminent.
Southern neighbour Niger said on Sunday one of the fugitive former leader’s sons, Saadi Gaddafi, had turned up there after crossing the remote Sahara desert frontier.

The National Transitional Council (NTC), which is trying to exert its control over the entire country three weeks after its fighters stormed Tripoli, said it planned to unveil a new, more inclusive government in seven to 10 days.

Exclusive: Libyan woman guided NATO bombs to Gaddafi targets
The NATO bombing campaign which fatally weakened Muammar Gaddafi’s rule had a secret asset: a 24-year-old Libyan woman who spent months spying on military facilities and passing on the details to the alliance.
The woman, operating under the codename Nomidia, used elaborate methods to evade capture — constantly changing her location, using multiple mobile telephone SIM cards and hiding her activities from all but the closest members of her family.

Trois larrons en foire :

Le régime algérien, avec ses plus hautes autorités civiles, président en tête, militaires et sécuritaires, s’est moqué de la communauté internationale et ce sans vergogne. Pendant des décennies il a nié être l’entremetteur entre le Polisario et Kadhafi. Il est évident, au vu des photos jointes en infra, que le rebelle abdelaziz n’a pu accéder en Libye sans le consentement des algériens. Ensuite, ces clichés prouvent la mise à disposition de Kadhafi de rebelles du Polisario pour combattre la révolte du peuple libyen avec l’aval des autorités algériennes et ce, contre monnaie sonnante et trébuchante.

Program the Minds of the Sheeple by Owning the Media: Round Nineteen
The Banksters have cunningly convinced us that what is not true is true and vice versa. They fully understand that the mind is highly susceptible to programming and manipulation through a constant influx of information. When we are repeatedly told something over and over, whether by the media, parents, schools, government, advertising, news, billboards, and those “facts” are coupled with emotion, we become hypnotized; our subconscious mind/ego accepts it as true and incorporates that truth into our belief system.

Vengeful graffiti aimed at former Libyan strongman Muammar Qaddafi and his lieutenants can be found around this city, which is emerging from decades of his brutal reign. But calls for revenge in revolutionary Libya are turning out to be rare sentiments.

Libya’s new rulers have instead focused on national reconciliation, forgiveness, and the rule of law at every turn, aware of the risks to the post-Qaddafi Libya of tit-for-tat violence and revenge that bred such instability in Iraq since 2003.

NATO’s Libya mission could cause a political backlash
The Libya intervention presents an unsettling paradox, says Thorsten Benner. While it was the right decision to prevent a massacre in Benghazi, NATO’s subsequent actions could harm future efforts to protect civilians.
We are witnessing the heyday of the Libya intervention triumphalists. Presented with a rare instance of something that can halfway credibly be labeled a victory, France, the

UK, the US and the NATO Secretary-General can be forgiven for savoring the moment without too many second thoughts.
Much more troubling is the carelessness with which some prominent supporters of the intervention on humanitarian grounds deal with concerns about NATO’s interpretation of the UN Security Council resolutions on Libya.
Former German foreign minister Joschka Fischer for one brushed aside questions about NATO overstepping the Security Council mandate with a self-satisfied one-liner: “Most resolutions by the Security Council are subject to interpretation”.

Gaddafi forces attack Libyan oil facility

Forces loyal to Muammar Gaddafi have killed at least 15 guards and injured two others in an attack on an oil facility outside the coastal town of Ras Lanuf, fighters of Libya’s National Transitional Council (NTC) have said.
Citing NTC fighters present at the scene, Al Jazeera’s Hoda Abdel-Hamid said a column of vehicles carrying armed Gaddafi loyalists drove up to the refinery’s checkpoint on Monday morning.
Ras Lanuf is located approximately 600km east of the capital, Tripoli.
The attack came as pro-and anti-Gaddafi forces fought fierce battles around Sirte and Bani Walid, key towns still controlled by forces of the toppled leader.
Anti-Gaddafi fighters had reached the gates of Bani Walid, located 150km southeast of Tripoli, on Sunday but encountered fierce resistance from Gaddafi loyalists who ignored a NTC deadline to surrender.
Supporters of the toppled regime continued to fight for Gaddafi a day after Saadi Gaddafi, son of the ousted leader, fled to Libya’s southern neighbour Niger.
NTC troops told Al Jazeera that residents were fleeing the desert town as fighting raged with NATO fighter jets circling overhead.
NTC fighters, however, said they had advanced towards Sirte despite tougher than expected resistance from Gaddafi loyalists.
The NTC has said that it will not declare Libya “liberated” until it has taken control of towns still in the hands of Gaddafi loyalists.

Oil production
Meanwhile, Mahmoud Jibril, Libya’s de facto prime minister, has said that oil production in some oil fields have been normalised following months of unrest.
The announcement was made on Sunday as Jibril vowed to form a new government within 10 days, carrying representation from all parts of the country – including areas that are not yet under the new establishment’s control.
Libya faces serious challenges, especially on the security and stabilisation front, but some oil fields have already resumed production, he said, emphasising that salaries of government workers will be paid on time.
“The salaries of the month of July will be paid in the eastern part of Libya, following which the month of August will be paid along with a bonus,” he said.
“The liberated parts of Libya will also receive salaries with bonuses.
“The liquidity issue has been taken care of since we received the first instalment (from

the UK) of Libyan currency, which was previously frozen, an installment of over a billion dinars. There will be a second installment of 700 milion dinars coming."
Jibril declined to identify which fields were now back in use, citing security reasons.

The latest high-profile insider of Muammar Qaddafi’s rule to be arrested, Bouzaid Dorda proved unapologetic about his role as head of the External Security Organization (ESO) and suggested he was not ready to criticize the ousted autocrat just to please Libya’s new rulers.

And in heated exchanges at the private house where he was being held, he suggested the men who arrested him in the capital on Saturday had no right to the moral high ground.

As Major Battle Brews At Desert Town, Top Qaddafi Loyalists Flee To Niger

Dozens of cars and pickup trucks — crammed with families and their belongings — were fleeing the Libyan town of Bani Walid amid fears of a major battle there.

Feeling residents say many more residents remain trapped in the desert town about

180 kilometers southeast of Tripoli because they don’t have enough fuel for their vehicles.

Fighters of Libya’s new interim government, the National Transitional Council, have besieged Bani Walid for weeks — one of the last remaining strongholds of Qaddafi loyalists since anti-Qaddafi fighters seized Tripoli last month.

Meanwhile, some clashes between Qaddafi loyalists and anti-Qaddafi forces were reported on the outskirts of the town on September 12.

A deadline for pro-Qaddafi fighters to surrender expired on September 10. NATO aircraft reportedly have been bombing pro-Qaddafi positions since that deadline expired, including ammunition storage facilities in the town.

Libya conflict: New fighting in town of Bani Walid

Seven anti-Gaddafi fighters have been killed and 10 wounded in a fierce battle for the town of Bani Walid.
The fighters say they were betrayed by local people who claimed to be on their side and led them into an ambush.
Nato is targeting the town, held by forces loyal to the fugitive leader, but the attackers lack the forces to capture it, a BBC correspondent says.
Meanwhile 15 guards were killed when pro-Gaddafi forces attacked an oil refinery near the town of Ras Lanuf.
An injured oil worker said a convoy of vehicles launched the surprise attack on the refinery – controlled by the anti-Gaddafi National Transitional Council (NTC) – after approaching from the direction of the fugitive leader’s hometown of Sirte.

RAF Tornados conduct more long-range strikes in Libya
British aircraft have again conducted long-range strikes against some of Colonel Gaddafi’s remaining military bases, as NATO continues with Operation UNIFIED PROTECTOR to enforce United Nations Security Council Resolution 1973.
On Thursday, Royal Air Force Tornado GR4s participated with other allied aircraft in a major strike by NATO against a significant command and control facility located near Birak, over 400 miles (644km) south of Tripoli, in the Sahara.

Major General Nick Pope, the Chief of the Defence Staff’s Communications Officer, said:
“NATO surveillance had demonstrated that the site, much used by the Gaddafi regime in the past, was once more in active use as a military headquarters. Numerous military targets within the compound were destroyed.
“A similar long-range Storm Shadow attack was also launched by GR4s on Saturday – again flying from RAF Marham in Norfolk – to hit a major military staging post used by Gaddafi’s troops in the town of Sebha, 30 miles (48km) from Birak.
“RAF aircraft also helped NATO maintain its armed reconnaissance patrols over other parts of the country, and on Friday afternoon Tornado and Typhoon aircraft destroyed a command and control installation near Hun in central Libya.”
On Saturday morning, a similar mission spotted a former regime main battle tank at Bani Walid, firing from a concealed position. A Paveway guided bomb from a Typhoon destroyed the tank. The same patrol subsequently located a multiple rocket launcher nearby, hidden in a tree line, and destroyed that vehicle as well with another Paveway

Sky’s Checkpoint Challenge Inside Libya
When you are driving around Libya to various hotspots and stories, you inevitably find yourself negotiating checkpoint after checkpoint.
These are now manned predominantly by rebels – apart from a smattering of die-hard outposts in the pockets where pro-Gaddafi forces are still holding out.
When I was last in Libya earlier this year, Colonel Gaddafi was still firmly at the helm

and resisting all calls to step down.

Residents Flee Fighting In Libyan Town

There is fierce fighting in the Libyan city of Bani Walid as the revolutionary forces try to seize one of the last remaining strongholds of Colonel Gaddafi’s regime.
Hundreds of anti-Gaddafi fighters have moved into the outskirts of the city where they are facing a barrage of rocket fire and bullets from snipers.
Rebel commanders say the resistance in Bani Walid is much stiffer than expected with an estimated 600 pro-Gaddafi fighters holed up in the residential areas of the city.

Just got a call that a #Libya(n) family from Zwara who I became v close to have had their cars and home burned down. Want to know why? (1)

I mentioned earlier we exposed they cheated us and stole charity money as business – but weren’t Gaddafi-related. Well, they were (2)

I worked with her so closely in Tunisia, we went out together, she meant so much. Found out she’s from 5th division of Gaddafi forces

Her car that she told me needed a Tunisian number plate as she was wanted by Gaddafi regime – was a gift from Gaddafi regime. #Libya

She was working with the spies who followed me from London to Tunisia and to camps.

She worked with Suad (a woman behind hangings in Benghazi). She used to warn us of Suad, but she was working hand-in-hand #Libya

She was stealing from the charity £2000 (in english pounds) a week, claiming she was using it for refugees, who weren’t getting any.

She introduced us to her friend also supposedly wanted by Gaddafi regime – found out today she was from the women of Gaddafi compound #Libya

So, as ugly as this sounds, and Allahuma la shamata…I don’t feel bad Libyans burnt her house and car. She’s hurt so many. #Libya

I’m just glad the kids weren’t harmed, went back to Libya safe, and we weren’t harmed and got back to UK safe. Many lessons learnt.

The government of Niger has confirmed to the United States that it has detained Muammar Gaddafi’s son, Saadi, and is studying what to do with him, the U.S. State Department said on Monday.
“We have confirmed with the government of Niger that Saadi crossed over (and) that they are either in the process or have already brought him to the capital of Naimey and intend to detain him,” State Department spokeswoman Victoria Nuland said.

Gaddafi forces surrounded homes in Al Dafniya, Naima, Azdo and Souq Al-Thulatha with land-mines, with only one access for entry and exit. They laid plastic land-mines, which are the most difficult to detect. Toilets were booby trapped so that they exploded in the face of whoever flushed or lifted the seats. The residents of these areas had already suffered whilst under Gaddafi forces’ control, or had been captured. Within a week, 10 children were killed a large number were wounded because the land-mines and th wiring were such that even adults difficulty detecting them, never mind children.

Now We Are Free-Arab Revolutions Spring

The Arab Spring Revolutions are a revolutionary wave of demonstrations and protests which have been taking place in the Middle East and North Africa since 18 December 2010. To date, there have been revolutions in Tunisia and Egypt; a civil war in Libya; major protests in Algeria, Bahrain, Djibouti, Iraq, Jordan, Syria, Oman and Yemen; and minor protests in Kuwait, Lebanon, Mauritania, Morocco, Saudi Arabia, Sudan and Western Sahara. The protests have shared techniques of civil resistance in sustained campaigns involving strikes, demonstrations, marches and rallies, as well as the use of social media, such as Facebook and Twitter, to organize, communicate, and raise awareness in the face of state attempts at repression and Internet censorship.

Islam to be main source of legislation in post-Qaddafi Libya

Islam will be the main source of legislation in post-Muammar Qaddafi Libya, the head of Libya’s transitional leadership said in his first public address in Tripoli on Monday.

National Transitional Council leader Mustafa Abdel Jalil made the remarks before thousands of Libyans gathered on Martyr’s Square two days after his arrival in the capital following the fall of Qaddafi’s regime.

“We will not accept any extremist ideology, on the right or the left. We are a Muslim

people, for a moderate Islam, and we will stay on this road,” he said.

This was Abdel Jalil’s first visit to Tripoli since the rebellion against Qaddafi erupted in February.

Venezuela’s Chavez sees cautionary tale in Libya
CARACAS, Venezuela (AP) — When Moammar Gadhafi made his first and only visit to South America in 2009, President Hugo Chavez praised his longtime friend as “the liberator of Libya,” talked politics inside his Bedouin tent and presented him with Venezuela’s highest award.
Now that Gadhafi has been ousted and is in hiding, Chavez is one of the few heads of state still openly supporting him, and probably his most strident and vocal defender among them.
Chavez denounces Libya’s rebels-turned-rulers as “terrorists” and has spearheaded a group of Latin American allies in condemning NATO’s airstrikes. In Gadhafi’s fate, Chavez appears to see a cautionary tale and a dangerous precedent for potential U.S. and European military interventions in other oil-producing countries, such as Venezuela.

Just got back from Yifrin, which has changed very much since July, now closer to its former self as a bustling town of 10,000

Not all the families are back yet, and not all the shops are open as many were destroyed in fighting there in June #Yifrin

But its certainly not a ghost town anymore. They’ve turned the former regime headquarters into a war museum (will post pictures)

Misrata is by far the most destroyed and damaged city in this revolution, so many stories yet to emerge from there.

Misratans are understandably wary of outsiders entering the city, so to get in you need a pass from a Misratan inside #misrata

Misratees get loads of respect here in Tripoli

There was some fighting in Al-Assaba’ah near Gharyan yesterday, an official from Yifrin civilian council says. Some deaths and injuries.

Finally got some photos to upload, will post on my blog as soon as they’re done.

In #Misrata last wk, I heard no gunshots. In #Tripoli, the cacophony of celebratory gunfire, including heavy weapons, is day & nite.

Tripoli has an influx of FFs from all over, plus newly armed residents. Some joy riding is inevitable. But Misrata? Very orderly.

Traffic checkpoints n #Tripoli can b a nuisance. But the feeling when a FF looks n the car, grins from ear to ear & says “James!”? Priceless

I think it could be very possible that there were pro G’s amongst the Bani Walid group.
I don’t believe it’s a tribal “thing” I think it’s an infiltrated group, i.o.w. with a few G goons amongst it.
Gaddafi was always very good in that department, it’s what kept him in power for all this time. Eyes and betrayal everywhere, so he could divide and conquer.

Five dead and 18 injured,
ff were enraged, accusing the Bani Walid men of betrayal
Independent Africa
The rebels had fought their way in through the narrow streets and alleyways when

they ran into an ambush. A desperate appeal for help to their comrades, exiles from Bani Walid whose advice they had followed on the assault, was answered by instructions to fall back to a rendezvous point outside the town.
But when the revolutionaries reached their destination, having fought their way out under intense fire, there was no sign of the Bani Walid contingent. Then, as urgent attempts were being made to establish communications, came salvos of mortar rounds and rockets.
By the time the opposition fighters had brought their casualties, five dead and 18 injured, to the nearest medical facility, they were enraged, accusing the Bani Walid men of betrayal. And some of the “outside” groups returned to Tripoli in disgust.

Libya could fall into hands of extremists, Nato warns
Libya is in danger of falling into the hands of Islamic extremists if a stable government is not rapidly established, Nato’s secretary-general warned last night.
In an interview with The Daily Telegraph, Anders Fogh Rasmussen said Islamic

extremists would “try to exploit” any weaknesses created as the country tried to rebuild after four decades of Col Muammar Gaddafi’s rule.
Mr Rasmussen was speaking amid growing evidence of splits in the rebel leadership in Tripoli. His words will cast a damper over the euphoria sweeping Tripoli in the wake of the revolution.

Aljazeera
Libya’s new leader calls for civil state
Mustafa Abdul-Jalil’s first public speech in Tripoli defines Libya as a democratic state based on Islamic law.

Mustafa Abdul-Jalil addressed a crowd of thousands in Martyr’s Square in central Tripoli, a site that until recently was famous for pro-Gaddafi rallies. Flanked by a few dozen revolutionary leaders in their largest public gathering since their forces stormed the capital on August 21, he called on Libyans to build a democratic state based on Islamic law.
“No retribution, no taking matters into your own hands and no oppression. I hope that the revolution will not stumble because of any of these things,” he said.

Abdul-Jalil, who served as Gaddafi’s justice minister before joining the rebels at the uprising’s start, defined the government he says the NTC hopes to create.

“We strive for a state of the law, for a state of prosperity, for a state that will have Islamic sharia law the basis of legislation,” he said.
Younes Abouyoub, research scholar at Columbia University, told Al Jazeera that the speech was “important” and “extremely timely” because schisms have begun to emerge among those who supported the toppling of Gaddafi.
“I think he Abdul-Jalil wanted to make sure that people understand that this revolution is not going to steer the state towards either a liberal, western-style state or an extremist-style like some people would like to have – which I believe is a minority.”
Describing most Libyans as “moderate”, Abouyoub said that the purpose of the revolution was to let more voices and opinions be heard.

“Absolutely, there will be tensions. There will be different views. That’s the whole point of the revolution… The main thing now is how to solve these conflicts in a peaceful way, not resort to armed fighting.”

Saadi detained in Niger’
Hours after the attack by Gaddafi loyalists on an oil refinery outside the coastal town of Ras Lanuf, the government of Niger confirmed to the United States that it had detained Gaddafi’s son, Saadi, and is studying what to do with him, the US State Department said on Monday.

“We have confirmed with the government of Niger that Saadi crossed over and that they are either in the process or have already brought him to the capital of Naimey and intend to detain him,” State Department spokeswoman Victoria Nuland told the Reuters news agency.
Niger’s prime minister said dozens of members of Gaddafi’s inner circle had arrived in Niger since September 2.
“A total of 32 people are now here, including one of Gaddafi’s sons, Saadi, as well as three generals,” said Brigi Rafini, during a meeting with foreign diplomats in Niamey, the AFP news agency reported.
The arrivals had crossed the border in four separate groups over the last 10 days and had been taken in by Niger for “humanitarian reasons”, the prime minister added.

A Syrian-based television station that has broadcast messages from Gaddafi in the past said the former leader was still in Libya, but it was unable to air a televised appearance for security reasons.

“It was meant to show the leader among his fighters and people, leading the struggle from Libyan lands, and not from Venezuela or Niger or anywhere else,” Mishan Jabouri, owner of the Arrai channel, told viewers.

Al Jazeera’s Hashem Ahelbarra, reporting from Tripoli, said: “This statement is considered a desperate PR stunt by Gaddafi saying that he is still in Libya and he still has suporters who will fight for him … The feeling here among the NTC is that Gaddafi has lost the battle”.

Tweeting Tripoli
I remember very well as a child back in early 1970s, in Eruope, my dad busted a family (can’t remember which country they originally came from) who pretended to be Libyans.
When he asked them why did they pretend to be Libyans, they said because Libyans were liked by the whole world at that time for being nice, kind, and honest.
From 1976 on Gaddafi gradually started to ruin our image. Then, Berlin, UTA, Yvonne Fletcher, Lockerbie followed.
Hope one day that will change!

The chief executive of Italian oil and gas giant Eni visited Tripoli on Monday to lay the groundwork for relaunching gas exports to Italy via the Greenstream pipeline, the company said.
CEO Paolo Scaroni said his meeting with representatives of Libya’s National Transitional Council and the National Oil Company marked the first such international corporate meeting in the Libyan capital since the popular uprising that overthrew Libyan dictator Muammar Gaddafi.

Scaroni has set October 15 as an admittedly “ambitious” deadline to resume the natural gas flow from Libya to Italy via the Greenstream pipeline, which can carry roughly 10bn m3 of natural gas per year. It hasn’t been operational since late February.
The roughly 520km pipeline runs from Mellitah, Libya to Sicily

Austria
Austria will release 150 million euros in frozen Libyan funds to finance humanitarian projects and fuel in the North African country, the Austrian economic delegate for Libya, David Bachmann, said on Monday.
The decision meant that Austria, which has a total of 1.2 billion euros in frozen Libyan assets, was still lagging behind other European countries. France (over two billion euros), and Britain and the Netherlands (about one billion each) have already released frozen Libyan funds unconditionally.

Canada
Canada is reopening its embassy in Libya’s capital, even as fighting continues in pockets of the country still held by loyalists of the hunted dictator Moammar Gadhafi, The Canadian Press has learned. Sources say a small team of diplomats, led by Canada’s ambassador to Libya Sandra McCardell, arrived in Tripoli on the weekend to conduct a security assessment. Officials wouldn’t comment on the state of Canada’s abandoned diplomatic mission but said McCardell would have to deal with “refurbishing and securing” the premises.

Japan
Japan decided on Tuesday to provide emergency aid totaling USD 2 million for people injured by the armed clashes between the Muammar Gaddafi forces and anti-Gaddafi groups in Libya, the Japanese Foreign Ministry said.
The aid, a grant, will be extended on requests of the National Transitional Council and the International Committee of the Red Cross budget extension appeal, the ministry said in a statement. It added that the Japanese government will immediately

implement this assistance in cooperation with the International Committee of the Red Cross.

China
China says Libya’s provisional government has promised to uphold all the agreements that Beijing signed with the country before the overthrow of Muammar Gaddafi. Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Jiang Yu said Tuesday that the National Transitional Council says it will honor and abide by all existing bilateral treaties and agreements.
Jiang’s comments come a day after China became the last member of the UN Security Council to formally recognize the NTC as the ruling authority of Libya. But Jiang said China wants more information before it backs the release of more of Libya’s assets that were frozen since the start of the conflict in mid-February

Aljazeera
The African Union’s panel on Libya will meet Wednesday in Pretoria to discuss the latest developments in the north African state, a South African official said.
“The committee, which consists of the heads of state of five countries, will meet in Pretoria to discuss a range of issues concerning Libya,” said Bongani Majola, a spokesman for President Jacob Zuma.
Many AU members were allied to Gaddafi’s regime, and slammed the NATO’s involvement in the oil rich-state, arguing that African problems should have African solutions.

Inside the Hunt for Gaddafi’s Key Men

Fathi Sherrif is surprisingly good-humored for a man who spent 13 days struggling to breathe inside a steel container. “There was no food. No toilet. ‘You don’t have to pray because you don’t know Allah. Gaddafi knows Allah.’ — That’s what they’d say to us,” he says of his captors. Sherrif and his five brothers were thrown in jail last March for offering covert support to Libya’s then nascent rebellion. But when the rebels breached the walls of Ain Zara prison two weeks ago, the 49-year-old businessman

emerged as an influential
player in the new Libya. His self-appointed task: hunting senior officials of Muammar Gaddafi’s regime.

Col Gaddafi desert retreat found near Sirte

The Abu Grein farm is a sprawling complex of private houses, tennis courts and swimming pools that rebels claim was used by Colonel Gaddafi as a holiday retreat.
“He would come here whenever he went hunting. He would also come on the weekly holidays that he had. He would use the cover of having a farming project here but it was mainly used as a retreat, “ said senior rebel, Salim Sabti.

A Woman on Libya’s Front Lines

The rebel fighter, in a billowing white “Free Libya” T-shirt, jeans, scarf and camouflage cap, was leaning against a car, talking in a businesslike manner with other rebels.
It took a few long stares to realize that this fighter was a woman, the only Libyan woman in sight.

Her name was Miriam Talyeb. She was 32 years old, a dentist and seven months pregnant with her first child. Her husband was part of the brigade of fighters who carried assault rifles and drove trucks mounted with rocket launchers.

She said she was not afraid of being hurt, but she was afraid of harm to her unborn daughter. Still, she said, “it’s for her freedom too.”
“My daughter,” she added, “will be called Misurata.”

As NATO continues its mission in Libya, RAF suppliers and movers ensure that personnel can operate at a tempo not seen since the Second World War.

906 Expeditionary Air Wing (EAW) are in the business of deploying at very short notice to anywhere in the world, and they require all sorts of equipment to allow them to carry out their tasks effectively, ultimately ensuring that the mission runs smoothly.
As the Warrant Officer (WO) of the Supply and Movement Squadron on Operation ELLAMY, Mr Russell talks of the crucial role that his squadron fulfils:
“It’s all about getting people, kit and ‘stuff’ to the right place at the right time and we have to do it quickly,” he said.
“When we get it right, you know because you don’t hear anything, but, when it goes wrong, you’ll be the first to know! Without the Supply and Movement Squadron none of the aircraft would be able to sustain this level of activity.”

PRES DE BANI WALID — Au milieu d’une vallée écrasée par le soleil située au pied de la ville de Bani Walid, les combattants du nouveau régime libyen ont trouvé un réconfort inattendu: une banque de fortune, abritée sous un pont.
Une valise pleine de billets à la main, un homme distribue le traitement mensuel auquel ont droit les combattants de la Brigade Awfiyah, qui risquent leur vie sur ce qui devrait être l’un des derniers fronts de Libye. A Bani Walid, à 170 km au sud-est de Tripoli, des forces loyales à l’ancien dirigeant Mouammar Kadhafi continuent d’opposer une résistance acharnée.
“Ce mois-ci nous donnons 250 dinars libyens au lieu de 300 (environ 200 dollars) parce que nos rangs se sont élargis”, affirme Nasser Bouzeid, un volontaire du comité de soutien aux combattants sur le front, formé en juin.

befroggled Miss B
The first day we met this woman I remember saying to my fellow #AidTrip girls..we’re meeting so many amazing inspirational women.

We went out with her, she’d take us out, show us around etc. On my last day she bought me a gift and said “See you in a free #Libya”

I remember thinking how I’d make a trip to Zwara to see her and her family…and it turns out she’s been lying for months.

On #AidTrip we encountered many strange experiences and were wary of spies, turned out there was one in our own home who we never suspected.

We’re still struggling to believe it!

The friend that she introduced us to who “fled” Tripoli was infact from Bab Al Aziziyah, her car a gift from G, that I <3’d & rode in a lot

Apparently she’s already been exposed in her home town so she’ll be shamed for the rest of her life.

We don’t know how much of what she told us is true,the facts we do know are she can speak Amazighi & the NTC are aware of her work w Gaddafi

I want to call her, would love to see if she’s going to lie again or fess up.

So in closing; BE CAREFUL! We thought we were but evidently not enough, especially when ur dealing with crazy butcher regimes.

Has The Libyan Insurgency Begun?
The world has declared victory over Moammar Gadhafi. Only no one told Gadhafi he was defeated. Stop me if you’ve heard this one before.
Fighters loyal to Gadhafi killed 17 guards at an oil refinery near Ras Lunuf on Monday. They drove to the refinery in a convoy of more than a dozen vehicles. Witnesses reported that the attackers used hand grenades to kill the guards.
And the attack occurred less than two hours after Libya’s post-Gadhafi oil minister announced limited oil production had resumed. The refinery itself was undamaged, though it’s unclear if that’s by design or incompetence. Still, the message sent seems clear: Gadhafi loyalists will target the revolutionary government’s ability to exploit the sources of Libyan wealth, weakening its ability to stabilize the country. Then, presumably, comes the restoration.

556 Western Sahara Separatists Mercenaries Arrested in Libya
Hundreds of Western Sahara Separatists Mercenaries were arrested in Libya following the recent battles against the gaddafi regime. The Polisario mercenaries were among groups of sub-Saharan African mercenaries who have been detained by the Libyan rebels. These latest arrests have confirmed the duplicitous role of Algeria’s Government and its frantic support of Colonel Gaddafi.
This new development will add additional strain to the already tense relations between the Libya’s CNT rebels and the Algerian government.
According to the Paris based news outlet Geotribune, « a senior source within the National Transitional Council (CNT) stated that thousands of supporters of Gaddafi were arrested, including 556 mercenaries from The Algeria-backed Western Sahara Separatist Group Polisario that is based in South Western Algeria.” The news magazine went on to say that “hundreds of Polisario mercenaries were arrested in the city of Zawiya and in the military complex of Bab El Azizia, have been transferred to Benghazi by the Libya’s CNT.”

The arrest of a sizable contingent of Polisario’s Western Sahara Separatists Mercenaries in Tripoli caps a week of turbulent events for Algeria’s hapless diplomacy. Furthermore, a declaration by CNT representative Abu al-Qasim Ali criticizing Algeria’s support for the independence of the disputed Western Sahara territory signals a shift in the Libyan stand on the Algerian-Moroccan conflict over the minerals rich Sahara. The CNT reversal of Gaddafi’s position puts to rest Algeria’s military policy of using Gaddafi’s support of the Polisario as a tacit counter to Morocco’s attempts to move further with a united (north West Africa) Maghreb. Algeria’s support of Gaddafi was a last ditch attempt by Algeria’s military to maintain the current balance of power in North Africa.
While Morocco and Tunisia have recognized the CNT as the representative of the Libyan people, Algeria has not. The fact that the Libyan embassy in Algiers flies the rebel’s flag while the host country remains frozen in the face of this crucial change of leadership in neighboring Libya highlights a lack of vision and a serious deficiency in the leadership at the highest level of the Algeria’s government.

After losing Gaddafi, a long time “ally”, Algeria’s rulers are isolated and cut off from their neighbors. Algeria’s borders with Morocco are closed, its relations with a post-revolution Tunisia is cool, it maintains unfriendly attitude towards a perceived pro-France Mali and Niger, and of course a hostile policy toward a Post Gaddafi Libya. Additionally, Algeria’s diplomacy has managed to further strain its relations with the Gulf country Qatar and the newly installed government of Egypt.

Algeria’s befuddled foreign policy is just a symptom of a larger problem afflicting the Algerian “System.” The Algerian independent press and most of the Algerian public have bemoaned the country’s lack of vision and leadership. Both Bouteflika and the Military leadership, the de-facto rulers of the country, a relic of a political era long gone, are unable to adjust to the new realities of the “Arab spring.”

A Teenager’s Photo That Helped Inspire Libya’s Revolt

Over the course of Libya’s six-month revolution, activists took thousands of photos to document their struggle against the Gadhafi regime. At the very beginning, on the day activists planned to launch the revolution, there was one photo that stood out — and it captured the imagination of people around the world wishing for the fall of Moammar Gadhafi.
The photo has no official name, but one word can easily summarize it: Defiance. It depicts a young woman dressed in a black hijab, her head tilted downward. In her hands she holds a green banner covered in capital letters — a quotation from early 20th-century Libyan freedom fighter Omar Muhktar:
WE WILL NOT SURRENDER
WE WILL WIN OR WE WILL DIE
THIS IS NOT THE END!
YOU WILL FIGHT US + YOU

WILL FIGHT THE GENERATIONS

Sub-Saharan Migrants Remain Stranded in Libyan Town
About 3,000 sub-Saharan migrants remain stranded in the western Libyan town of Sebha, which has been under attack from anti-Gadhafi forces. Humanitarian agencies say food, water and shelter are in very short supply.
And getting worse…
Most of the migrants in Sebha, about 2,000, are from Chad. The rest are from the Horn of Africa, Middle East and Asia. And their numbers are growing.

IOM
Fears Grow over Rising Numbers of Stranded Migrants Without Food and Water in Sebha as Fighting Intensifies
- An estimated 3,000 migrants are now thought to be seeking refuge at an IOM transit centre as fighting around the Libyan city of Sebha continues.
However, IOM is deeply concerned over their welfare as the transit centre, like the rest of Sebha, is fast running out of food. There is also no running water or electricity.
The migrants, mostly Chadian but also including Somalis, Eritreans, Nigerians, Nigeriens, Egyptians, Jordanians and Pakistanis, began arriving at the IOM centre to seek refuge some weeks ago. But numbers have increased significantly recently.
Chadian consular officials in Sebha told IOM that there was heavy firing through the night on 11/12 September and that security in the town was deteriorating rapidly.

A Tunisian court dismissed a case Tuesday against a close aide of deposed Libyan leader Moammar Qaddafi for entering the country illegally.
General Khouildi Hamidi was arrested at the international airport in Tunis on September 7, and investigated for illegal entry onto Tunisian soil.
Having been prevented from flying out of Tunisia with his relatives, Hamidi’s diplomatic passport will now be returned, a source in the judiciary said.
“He is free to stay in Tunisia or to leave the country,” the Libyan’s lawyer Abdelbasset Bouhouli told AFP.

U.S. Boots on the Ground in Libya, Pentagon Confirms
Despite repeated assurances from President Obama and military leaders that the U.S.

would not send uniformed military personnel into Libya, four U.S. service members arrived on the ground in Tripoli over the weekend.
According to Pentagon spokesman Capt. John Kirby, the four unidentified troops are there working under the State Department’s chief of mission to assist in rebuilding the U.S. Embassy.
Kirby noted the embassy in Tripoli was badly damaged during the conflict between Muammar Qaddafi’s forces and the rebels
Two of the military personnel are explosive-ordnance experts who will be used to disable any explosives traps left in the embassy. The other two are “general security,” according to Kirby.

The Hill
House to vote on authorizing or ending Libya mission

Speaker John Boehner (R-Ohio) plans to introduce two Libya measures that present House lawmakers with a stark choice: Vote to authorize the U.S. combat mission or vote to end it.
House Republicans will discuss the proposals at a conference meeting Wednesday morning, and votes could occur on both by the end of the week.
One resolution would mirror a version proposed Tuesday by Sens. John Kerry (D-Mass.) and John McCain (R-Ariz.) that authorizes a limited U.S. military mission for

one year, but prohibits the use of ground troops except to defend American officials in danger. The other resolution, Boehner said, would remove U.S. forces from Libya under the War Powers Resolution “except for forces engaged in non-hostile actions such as search & rescue, aerial re-fueling, operational planning, intelligence/surveillance/reconnaissance, and non-combat missions.”

Aux dires d’un révolutionnaire, ces mercenaires ont été arrêtés, dans un bâtiment, à Misrata. La presse serbe a fait part d’autres pendaisons, en Libye, des mercenaires venus de la Bosnie, de la Croatie, de l’Ukraine, de la Russie, de Colombie et d’autres pays, pour faire la guerre contre les révolutionnaires. On dit qu’à l’heure actuelle, plusieurs combattants de la guerre de l’ancienne Yougoslavie sont, en Libye, et en train de faire guerre, à Syrte, contre les révolutionnaires

#Benghazi is totally transformed from the city i saw in April. Shops open lights on people out in the streets buzzing atmosphere.

in #Benghazi a man was driving down a street the wrong way. Police stopped him. He said “I’m free now I can drive on other side of road.”

Went for a coffee in town with local BBC fixers Osama and Nassir, Shabaab excitedly watching football on TV, relaxed and happy atmosphere.

Osama told me that a poor local man with 4 kids has moved in to Gaddafi’s Villa in #Benghazi and made it his home. #Libya #Feb17

He was offered 30k LYD to sell to rich neighbours but refused. Osama thinks worth at least 100k. price will go up too

Tourism will be massive. Went down to Benghazi beach today. kids play in water but rubbish everywhere. clean up needed

this is my last night in Libya, Cairo Wednesday, London Thursday, Pub Friday. (sounds like bad craig david song)

Libya is supposedly a dry country. Cost of a bottle of Absolut vodka smuggled from Egypt? 140LYD ($100usd)

a TANK crew we met on eastern front appeared drunk when we went up there last week

Have seen FF at front wearing I heart Libya t shirts and wanted to buy one; but all the salesman have sent them to #Tripoli. more profit.

I asked someone in Freedom square where i can get one. he said: “print it yourself”. LOL

this is a very dry country. #Gaddafi said that Alcohol was more dangerous than chemical weapons.
I never drink on deployment to places where i met get have to dodge bullets the next day.

Everyone i speak to here does not want alcohol to be sold. no one has said they want it at all.

a full tank of benzine in #Benghazi is at most $8 usd. Near front line fuel it is completely FREE

Gaddafi stole many peoples properties they will be asking for them back soon.

#Tripoli in July I asked #Rixos minder: Punishment for Vodka under Gaddafi? Possession 1st offence = 2 years. Selling booze = Life in prison

Little did the minder telling me know that just a few meters away Musa Ibrahim had his booze stashed away in Rixos

one of the FF took his own Tee shirt off while we were being attacked and offered it to Tim our cameraman LOL. nice guy

will never forget this year. Libya has really got under my skin. It became more than just work.

Gaddafi generals in Niger negotiate for refugee status
Three of Muammar Gaddafi’s generals are in Niger’s capital after making a 1,600-kilometer drive across the desert to negotiate political refugee status for members of the toppled dictator’s regime, two officials involved in the negotiations today.

The discussion began as soon as the convoy arrived after nightfall yesterday and continued throughout the day today. It puts Niger in a difficult situation, caught between demands by Libya’s new government to hand them over and calls from Niger’s powerful Tuareg community to take them in.
The visibility of the dilemma heightened after al-Saadi Gaddafi, one of Gaddafi’s sons who was a special forces commander and is the subject of a United Nations travel ban, entered the country on Sunday.
So far Niger has agreed to hand over any of the three members of the regime wanted by the International Criminal Court.

The other fleeing members of the regime are backed by the powerful Tuareg community, an ethnicity that spans the desert band across Libya, Niger, Mali and Algeria. Gaddafi was especially close to the Tuaregs, and it was from this ethnicity that a majority of his mercenaries are believed to have come.
“The people that are here now are not wanted by the International Criminal Court,” said one of the negotiators, who is himself a Tuareg and who asked not to be named because he is not authorized to speak to the press. “We have recognized the (National Transitional Council) as the legitimate government of Libya. But if they pressure us to hand over these people, I’m afraid that they will just disappear into the wilderness,” he said, suggesting Niger would not be able to detain them.
The generals in Niamey leading the talks include Gen. Ali Kana, a Tuareg who headed Libya’s southern command, as well as the chief of the air force and the commander of the zone of Murzuq, said another negotiator, Aghaly Alambo, who led the first convoy of fleeing loyalists across the desert last week.
“They needed to come and see the authorities here, to explain themselves and finish the formalities,” said Alambo, also a Tuareg who led a revolution in Niger and later joined forces with Gaddafi. He said sending them back could destabilize the region.
“Take Ali. He’s not alone. He’s a general and he represents a community. His community is the majority in the south of the country,” Alambo said. “If there is pressure, and he is handed over, there could be trouble in the south. This type of pressure isn’t good. … He may be only a single human being, but how he is treated could make the south rise up.”
Niger appears to have become the only exit for remaining members of Gaddafi’s inner circle. After the ruler’s wife and several of his children crossed into Algeria, that border was sealed. Access to Egypt, Tunisia and Chad is impeded because the route to those countries goes through areas controlled by anti-Gaddafi forces.
Meanwhile, Niger’s border with Libya is vast and impossible for the country’s ill-equipped and cash-strapped army to monitor. Since last week, waves of convoys carrying regime officials have drifted across the invisible line set on undulating dunes.
Around 30 Libyans are now in Niger, said Alambo. The majority are relatives and aides of the three generals, but on Sunday, a convoy crossed into the country carrying al-Saadi Gaddafi, one of the ex-ruler’s sons. He, too, is expected to make his way to Niamey for talks, said Alambo. As of today, he was still in the governor’s mansion in Agadez, a town around 800 kilometers north of the capital.
He is not sought by the international court, but he is included among those subject to sanctions according to a U.N. resolution passed in February. The text of the sanction states that the 38-year-old was listed because of “closeness of association with regime (and) command of military units involved in repression of demonstrations.”
The son is best known for his attempts to become a professional soccer player, and his love of yachts, fast cars and excessive partying. In the recent fight for Libya, he

was seen as attempting to play the role of a peacemaker.
“Saadi? He’s just a soccer player. He didn’t get involved in the politics like his other brother,” said Alambo.

Gaddafi nowhere to be found as son in Niger ‘custody’

Saadi Kadhafi, 38, the third of Kadhafi’s seven sons, is among 32 officials of the ousted regime, three of them top generals, who have fled through the desert to neighbouring Niger this month.
He was flown into the capital Niamey late on Tuesday after being put on an air force Hercules C-130 transport plane from the northwestern town of Agadez, Nigerien officials said.
He had been put up in the governor’s residence in the desert town with eight close associates of his father after they crossed into Niger on Sunday.

NATO airstrikes pound key Gaddafi compounds

NATO warplanes pounded targets in a number of strongholds of support for fugitive dictator Gaddafi, the alliance said today, as an offensive by revolutionary forces on a key loyalist town stalled.
The alliance said that airstrikes struck one radar system, eight surface-to-air missile systems, five surface-to-air missile trailers, one armed vehicle and two command vehicles a day earlier near Gaddafi’s hometown of Sirte on the Mediterranean coast.
NATO, which has played a crucial role in crippling Gaddafi’s military capabilities over the seven-month Libyan war, also said it struck six tanks and two armored fighting vehicles in Sabha in the southern desert.

Those two cities, along with Bani Walid southeast of the capital, are the primary bastions of Gaddafi loyalists remaining in the country more than three weeks after revolutionary forces captured Tripoli Aug. 21, effectively bringing an end to Gaddafi’s nearly 42-year rule.
The ousted former dictator, whose whereabouts is unknown, urged his followers yesterday in a brief message read on Syria’s Al-Rai TV to keep fighting.
Gaddafi’s supporters, who claim he is still in Libya, have put up fierce resistance in Bani Walid, some 140 kilometers southeast of Tripoli, beating back repeated attempts by revolutionary forces to take the town since launching a two-pronged assault Friday.
Revolutionary forces say they have captured the northern half of Bani Walid, but they have struggled to push farther into the city for several days.
Families continued to stream out of Bani Walid today to escape the heavy fighting and deteriorating living conditions. Fleeing residents say there is no electricity or running water in the town, and shops are running out of food.

Saad Mohammed, a revolutionary fighter preparing for the day at the town’s northern gate, said snipers were taking up positions in the minaret of a mosque in the town center, as well as a former Gaddafi villa built on the top of an ancient fort.
“We’re giving a chance for the families to leave the city to escape the mortar rounds and rocketing from Gaddafi forces,” he said.

Muammar Gaddafi is still in Libya and in good spirits, with a powerful army behind him, the ousted leader’s spokesman said on Wednesday.

“The fight is as far away from the end as the world can imagine. We are still very powerful, our army is still powerful, we have thousands upon thousands of volunteers,”

he said.
“We have huge areas of Libya under our control — on the northern coast, in the western areas of the country and the whole south belongs to us,” he said.

Gaddafi son binged on drugs and hookers
ONE of Colonel Gaddafi’s vile sons went on a sex and drugs binge in London as his dad’s regime crumbled.
Saadi Gaddafi, 38, blew thousands on hookers, vodka, cocaine and cannabis while at the family’s £11million mansion.
Bodyguard Stefan Bell, paid £300 a day to protect Saadi, said: "He was intimidating and nasty and lived a bizarre life.
“He did like his hookers. He’d spend ages trawling the internet for Chinese escorts, they always had to be Chinese.
“He’d show me or my colleague a picture of the girl and we rang to book a visit. He wanted them to stay all night which was £1,500.
“Drugs were also common. Saadi asked me once if I could get him some cocaine, but I refused.
“A lot of cannabis was smoked by him and his entourage. They were high a lot of the time.

And in London he was clearly having a relationship with a man who was known as the

Butler. Stefan said: "When the Butler arrived I was expecting an older bloke, but he was about 18.
“Saadi would shout for him in the night. We’d get up thinking he wanted us but he wanted the Butler to go to his room.
“Later on Saadi would come out of the room covered in sweat and wearing just a towel.”

Ayesha Shirif, 22, was born in England but lives with her father Khaled in Tripoli.
But when the uprising against Colonel Gaddafi began she saw an opportunity to try to escape in the chaos to be with her mother in England.
It was a desperate attempt that failed and she has not been allowed to communicate with her mother since.
Ayesha went to the port to try to get on a ship evacuating British citizens but Libyan officials would not allow her to be part of the evacuation because she was a woman travelling alone.

Moderation key word as Libya assures world it will not be center of extremist Islam
When it comes to Islam, moderation is the keyword in Libya, a country at pains assure the world that it will not become a centre of extremism now that anti-Islamist leader Muammar Qaddafi has gone.

On the eve of the 10th anniversary of the Sept. 11 attacks on New York by al-Qaeda, Libya’s new de-facto president made a point of addressing the future of Islam in his country, which many abroad fear could take a militant turn.

“Ninety percent of us are moderate Muslims … five percent are on the right and left sides,” said Mustafa Abdel Jalil late on Saturday, in his first public appearance in Tripoli since it fell to anti-Qaddafi fighters on Aug. 23.
He urged unity and asked those with more marginal views on religion to restrict their sparring to debate.

Entering Libya four days after the fall of Tripoli did not seem, at first, very different from trips I had made to Kosovo, Baghdad and Kabul shortly after those interventions. There were as yet no formalities, still less visas, at the Libyan border. The dusty office chairs at the checkpoints in the Nafusa hills, crookedly propped on their remaining castors, were those favoured by militias in Afghanistan.

Nicolas Sarkozy pourrait s’envoler jeudi pour la Libye, dans un voyage éclair qui l’emmènerait à Tripoli et, selon certaines sources, à Benghazi, la ville d’où le mouvement d’insurrection contre le régime de Mouammar Kadhafi a été lancé. C’est

ce qu’annonce mercredi matin le site Marianne2.fr. «Le voyage est à l’étude depuis deux semaines, et le créneau envisagé a toujours été celui-là », confirme une source élyséenne.

Libyans flee pro-Qaddafi town ahead of assault; new leaders seek U.N. representation

Libyan fighters handed out free petrol to help hundreds of civilians flee a desert town held by Muammar Qaddafi’s forces ahead of an onslaught aimed at capturing one of the ousted ruler’s last bastions, as the National Transitional Council demanded to represent the country at the United Nations.

Complaining of hardship and intimidation, residents of Bani Walid headed to nearby towns or started the 180 km (112-mile) journey north towards Tripoli on Tuesday in cars packed with children and possessions.

Mahmoud Jibril, the NTC prime minister, rubber-stamped the wiping of the town off the map at the Misrata town hall:
“Regarding Tawergha, my own viewpoint is that nobody has the right to interfere in this matter except the people of Misrata.”
“This matter can’t be tackled through theories and textbook examples of national reconciliation like those in South Africa, Ireland and Eastern Europe,” he added as the crowd cheered with chants of “Allahu Akbar,” or “God is greatest.”

Libya: Bani Walid residents given two days to leave before onslaught

Residents of Bani Walid have been given two days to leave before an onslaught begins aimed at capturing one of former Libyan leader Col Muammar Gaddafi’s last bastions
Complaining of hardship and intimidation, residents of Bani Walid headed to nearby towns or started the 112 mile journey north towards the capital Tripoli on Tuesday in cars packed with children and possessions.
Residents escaping Bani Walid on Monday and Tuesday reported days of intense street-to-street fighting. They began to slip out after Gaddafi forces abandoned some

checkpoints on the outskirts
“Rebels gave us some petrol, enough to drive to Tripoli. The rebels are really helping us,” he said, driving away with his wife and three young children.
Mr Amr said the NTC was handing out free fuel at the northern entrance to Bani Walid to smooth the evacuation.

Abdulbaset Mohamed Mohamed, 25, another Bani Walid residents driving towards Tripoli, said it was too dangerous to venture outside in the town. Militia men are hiding around the city and (pro-Gaddafi) green flags are everywhere."
NTC field commanders said people in Bani Walid had been told via broadcast radio messages they had two days to leave town before it came under full-blown attack.

“I think only 10 per cent of the people are Gaddafi supporters. They are fanatics. And the rest are waiting to be liberated.

I only have a problem with mercenaries who were brought over to kill us, and ironically get paid with our stolen money.

Freedoms Flourish On Walls Across Tripoli
In Tripoli, residents are painting the town red, green and black, the new colors of the Libyan revolution.
Under Moammar Gadhafi, the regime strictly controlled the images that were allowed in public. Storefronts had to be painted green. English was banned on signs. Anti-regime graffiti was quickly painted over and could be met with a harsh response.
Since the fall of Gadhafi, graffiti is appearing all over Tripoli, much of it denouncing the former regime and declaring Libya “free.” New murals are also popping up across the capital, giving Libyans a chance to vent their pent-up rage toward Gadhafi.

Op-Ed: ‘What if’ in Libya
Had NATO not intervened, atrocities would have been inevitable
Making good on Moammar Gadhafi’s promise to “cleanse Libya house by house, room by room,” forces loyal to the Libyan leader entered the eastern city of Benghazi yesterday and began a wholesale massacre of the city’s civilian population, putting a decisive end to the popular uprising that began there Feb. 17.

A combined Libyan military assault by air and sea laid random waste to buildings throughout the coastal city. At around 2 p.m., tank columns entered Benghazi, easily crushing the impromptu barriers that residents had set up to block their path. Soon after, according to satellite imagery, armored personnel carriers bearing thousands of Libyan soldiers from Tripoli entered the city, putting down scattered resistance from poorly armed rebel fighters.

Libya Mass Grave Yields 35 Bodies
(Tripoli) – Thirty-four bodies exhumed from a mass grave near the town of al-Qawalish in western Libya seem to be those of men detained by pro-Gaddafi forces in early June 2011, Human Rights Watch said today.
The evidence strongly suggests the detainees were executed at that time, before the pro-Gaddafi forces fled from the area, in the Nafusa mountains. The bodies of another three who seem to have been executed by the same perpetrators have also been discovered nearby. Witnesses told Human Rights Watch the victims hadbeen detained from or near their homes or at a major checkpoint in the area, and included at least nine men aged over 60, including an 89-year-old man. The majority were from the nearby town of al-Qal’a.
“The mass grave at al-Qawalish contains further evidence strongly suggesting that Gaddafi loyalists carried out mass executions of detainees as they struggled to suppress the uprising,” said Peter Bouckaert, emergencies director at Human Rights

Watch. “These victims included some very old men, some executed together with their sons.”
During a visit by Human Rights Watch to the region shortly after pro-Gaddafi forces had fled the area on July 6,the new authorities in towns near al-Qawalish furnished the names of 173 missing men, including 81 from al-Qal’a. Villagers and investigators from the ad hoc regional council for the Nafusa mountains said the fate of the missing was not established until rebels captured a Gaddafi loyalist whose mobile phone contained a video clip showing the bodies of men, bound and blindfolded, lying in a forest clearing. Relatives of many of the missing from al-Qal’a told Human Rights Watch they recognized some of the dead in the video, and recognized the location as a forest behind a Libyan Scouts base on the western edge of al-Qawalish.

1. Ahmed Mohammed al-Khamoushi, 33

America’s spies taking to Twitter
The research division of a U.S. government intelligence agency has recently begun a project to use data from some social networks, including Twitter, to track and predict society-level changes like political movements, economic shifts, and other indicators.

The Intelligence Advanced Research Projects Activity (also known as Iarpa) has designed the project and is currently soliciting bids from vendors.

The proposed program, which is currently soliciting bids from developers, will mine publicly-available data from “web search queries, blogs, micro-blogs, internet traffic, financial markets, traffic webcams, Wikipedia edits, and many others,” then use the information to predict trends.

The agency will then analyse the aggregated data to produce predictive intelligence reports.
Iarpa maintains that any data used will be “lawfully obtained” and “available to any member of the general public,” but offers no clarification on what might constitute “publicly available” information.

Senior American Diplomat in Tripoli Says Islamists Are Not a Threat
TRIPOLI, Libya — America’s top diplomat for the Middle East said on Wednesday that he was monitoring the growing influence of Islamists on the interim government that has replaced Col. Muammar el-Qaddafi in Libya, but does not consider that influence a significant threat.
“We aren’t concerned that one group is going to dominate the aftermath of what has been a common struggle by the Libyan people to open the door to a better future.”
He added: “I think it is something that everybody is watching; first of all, the Libyan people themselves are talking about this.”
But based on what he has heard from Libyans across the political spectrum, Mr. Feltman said, there is “a shared desire for a different type of Libya that is going to have to take into account a lot of political trends.”

GADDAFI ASKS U. N. TO DEFEND SIRTE FROM NATO ATTACKS

Tunis – Muammar Gaddafi has asked the U.N. Security Council to protect his hometown Sirte, still controlled by loyalist troops, from what he described as NATO’s “atrocities”.Gaddafi made his request by sending a letter that was broadcast by the al Arrai television network broadcasting from Syria. Gaddafi wrote, “If Sirte is isolated from the rest of the world due to the atrocities committed by NATO, the world has the duty not to be absent and you must assume your international responsibilities, intervening immediately to stop this conflict.” . .

Enduring America
Another infamous former-Qaddafi official has been spotted, Libya’s former intelligence chief, Abdullah Senussi:
Abdullah Senussi, a relative by marriage of Col Gaddafi, was spotted by residents in the town of Qirah, said Hassan Saghayer, an official of the national transitional council originally from the south.
“He made a public appearance,” said Mr Saghayer, a native of the town of Shati, near Qirah. “He spoke to the people of the village. He announced his presence and said he was ready to fight to the end.”
Mr Senussi is wanted by the International Criminal Court in The Hague on charges of crimes against humanity.

In a despatch posted yesterday, Associated Press describes the impending showdown between fighters of Libya’s National Transitional Council and Qaddafi loyalists holding out in the town of Bani Walid:
Residents describe leaving behind a virtual ghost town where food shops are nearly barren, electricity cuts are frequent and phone lines are down.

Few people – except for fighters – dare to venture outside. The silence is broken by the exchange of fire from both sides and propaganda from a pro-Gadhafi radio station.
“The radio told us that NATO is out to get us and that the revolutionary forces want to steal our babies, kill us and rape us,” said Ramadan Abdel-Rahman, who was fleeing with his wife and seven children, including a daughter less than two weeks old.
The radio transmitter apparently shifts from house to house to avoid being targeted by NATO airstrikes or opposition shelling. Rumors – that can’t be independently investigated – say it is run by Moussa Ibrahim, the Gadhafi spokesman well known to foreign journalists during the final months of the regime’s control in Tripoli.
The rules inside Bani Walid still cling to the Gadhafi-era thuggery against any hint of dissent, residents said.

Qaddafi calls on U.N. to protect Sirte; Sarkozy to become first leader to visit Tripoli

Ousted Libyan leader Muammar Qaddafi has called on the U.N. Security Council to protect his hometown of Sirte − still held by forces loyal to him − from what he called NATO “atrocities.”

“If Sirte is isolated from the rest of the world in order for atrocities to be committed against it, then the world has a duty not to be absent and you have to take your international responsibility and intervene immediately to stop this crime,” Reuters quoted Qaddafi as saying in a letter read out on Syrian-based Arrai TV.

The TV said the letter was addressed to the U.N. Security Council.

According to Alarabiya correspondent, Qaddafi forces were on the roll arresting citizens in the deposed leader’s hometown of Sirte.
Qaddafi’s whereabouts are not known but he has communicated through Arrai TV several times since he was overthrown on August 23.

But according to Qaddafi’s spokesman, Mousa Ibrahim, the strongman is still in Libya and his morale is “very high” and his army is “strong.”

He added that the fighting is still far from finishing and that Qaddafi forces have thousands of volunteers ready to fight.

Despite the rebels making notable land gains, most importantly, the Red Valley area near Sirte, the spokesman said that Qaddafi forces still control big chunks of the North African country, such as the northern coast and the western region. He said Qaddafi forces control the entire south.
Sarkozy’s visit
The head of Libya’s National Transitional Council confirmed that French President Nicolas Sarkozy will be among leaders visiting Tripoli on Thursday.

Mustafa Abdel Jalil confirmed to AFP that Sarkozy would visit, and added that “we say to the leaders coming tomorrow that they will be safe.”

However, the NTC chief made no reference to British Prime Minister David Cameron, who sources said earlier was also due to travel to the Libyan capital on Thursday.
US shows support
Washington respects the right of Libyans to decide their own future, a senior U.S. official said Wednesday in Tripoli, as the African Union pushed for an inclusive government after Qaddafi’s ouster.

“The United States respects Libya’s sovereignty,” AFP reported Jeffrey Feltman, the highest ranking U.S. official to visit the Libyan capital since its capture from Qaddafi’s forces on August 23, as saying.

“A guideline of our partnership with the Libyan people will be always be respect for Libya’s independence and sovereignty,” the assistant secretary of state for Near Eastern affairs told a news conference.

“This is a victory by the Libyan people and Libya’s destiny must be decided by Libyans

alone,” he said after meeting Abdel Jalil.

His visit came as a top-level team from the African Union, which has refused to recognize the NTC, began to discuss ways to press for an inclusive Libyan government at a gathering in Pretoria, South Africa.
Draft resolution
Britain has circulated a draft resolution that would ease U.N. sanctions against Libya to members of the Security Council and hopes to vote on it this week, diplomats said on Wednesday.

The draft would have the council begin lifting six-month-old punitive measures imposed on Libya when its former leader was overseeing a crackdown against pro-democracy demonstrators across the country.

According to the draft resolution, obtained by Reuters, the resolution would ask the 15-nation council to ease sanctions against Libya’s National Oil Corp and central bank to enable those two key institutions to start functioning.

The draft would have the council declare “its determination to ensure that assets frozen pursuant to (U.N. sanctions resolutions) shall as soon as possible be made available to and for the benefit of the people of Libya.”

The National Oil Corp would become free of sanctions, which should enable the oil-producing OPEC member to begin exporting crude more easily once the resolution is approved. But some of the sanctions on other firms would remain in place.

Assets of the central bank, the Libyan Foreign Bank, Libyan Investment Authority, and the Libyan Africa Investment Portfolio that have been frozen abroad by U.N. member states are to remain frozen for the time being, unless they have been exempted from the freeze by the council’s sanctions committee.

Such assets, the draft says, can only be released on the basis of a decision of the Security Council’s Libya sanctions committee, which one senior Security Council diplomat said has already unfrozen $16 billion of Libyan assets to date.

The council diplomat described the easing as a “progressive or controlled lifting of the asset freeze.” Speaking on condition of anonymity, he added that Britain, the drafter of the resolution, hoped to put it to a vote by Friday.

Libya: helping identify the dead

14-09-2011 News Release 11/189
Tripoli/Geneva (ICRC) – As mass graves are being discovered on a weekly basis, the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) is striving to bring answers to grief-stricken families of people who have gone missing and to ensure that any human remains uncovered are properly handled. Over the past weeks and months, hundreds of families have reported the disappearance of their loved ones in Libya.
“This week we dispatched two forensic experts to the field to support our colleagues already involved in the management of human remains,” said Carole Pittet, an ICRC staff member in Tripoli. “The experts will also be advising the Libyan Red Crescent, local councils, health and religious authorities and other partners.”
“The newly established National Council for the Missing quickly turned to us for technical support,” she added. “There have been reports of improvised exhumations, which carry the risk that remains could be mishandled. Important information needed for proper identification of the dead could be lost.” It is particularly important to preserve any available proof of identity when no family member has come forward to claim or identify a set of remains.
The ICRC has helped to ensure that the remains of 125 people found at 12 different sites in and around Tripoli have been handled properly. It has also provided support for the recovery of the remains of 34 people in Al Qala’a, in the Nefusa mountains.
The ICRC is not involved in collecting evidence that could be used in any legal proceedings.

British mothers reunited with kids in Libya

The overthrow of the Libyan leader Moammar Gadhafi is being seen as a democratic victory by many, but for some it means even more.
Last year a British charity – with the backing of Gadhafi – organised for a group of British mothers to be temporarily re-united with their children, who had been abducted by their fathers and taken back to Libya.
Now we can find out what happened to one of those children.

Libya: Saadi Gaddafi tracked down to playboy hideaway in Niger

But tracked down by The Daily Telegraph to the Nigerien capital of Niamey, it was clear that Saadi’s luxurious surroundings bore closer resemblance to a playboy hideaway than a prison.
After being flown to the capital on a military Hercules C-130 transport jet late on Monday, the former footballer was given luxurious lodgings in Villa Verde, a state guesthouse next to the presidential palace. The complex is now his well guarded refuge of calm from the war still waging in his homeland.

He joined a clique of Libyan generals in the city. Among them are Gen Ali Sharif al-Rifi, Libya’s ex-air force chief and Mansour Dao, its security supremo, who are ensconced in the nearby Villa du Conseil de líEntente, a high-walled hillside complex of bungalows boasting cool verandas and handsome colonnaded administration buildings.

MUST READ:
A76-year-old fighter who refuses to give in

Portia Walker
Khairi Abdul Jalil al-Masri was 76 when Libya’s revolution began, but that didn’t stop him from joining the struggle. The former university professor helped set up the underground resistance cells that delivered Libya to the rebels last month.
He recruited underground fighters by sifting through footage of video shot on mobile phones of the February 19 uprising in the city. “I started with six young people. Everyone chose the friends he trusted,” he explained.
Friends, neighbours and relatives went from house to house, asking likely rebel sympathisers to join their anti-Gaddafi groups. “We asked them if they wanted to die for their country and freedom and, if not, we told them to go home,” he said.
The resistance groups worked together to pool information about Gaddafi’s defences in the city, which they would pass on to the rebel authorities in Tunisia and Benghazi. “We had an espionage network and we got information about weapons depots and informers,” he said.

GENEVA — The International Committee of the Red Cross says at least 13 mass graves have been found in Libya over the past three weeks.
The Geneva-based Red Cross says its staff assisted in the recovery of 125 bodies found at 12 different sites in and around Tripoli.
It says remains of 34 people were also recovered from a site in the Nafusa mountain village of Galaa in western Libya.
ICRC spokesman Steven Anderson said Wednesday that more mass graves are being found every week.
The aid group says it is helping ensure the remains are properly recovered so that the identities of the dead can be established and relatives informed.

Libya Fighters Issue Deadline To Civilians In Gadhafi Stronghold

Libya’s interim leadership gave residents in Bani Walid a 48-hour notice to leave the city as it sent reinforcements there and to the former regime’s other remaining strongholds of Sirte and Sabha.
As the National Transitional Council sought to assert control over all of Libya, the U.S. assistant secretary of state for Near Eastern affairs, Jeffrey Feltman, arrived Wednesday in Tripoli on an unannounced visit.
Meanwhile, al-Rai TV aired what it called a live phone call from Musa Ibrahim, a spokesman for ousted Libyan leader Moammar Gadhafi. The speaker told the channel that hundreds of “the criminals” (NTC forces) were killed at the gates of Sirte and about 250 of their fighters were killed at the gates of Bani Walid. “We will continue to fight … until we liberate all cities,” he said. Al-Rai, which is based in Syria, has been pro-Gadhafi.

African Union Resists Calls to Recognize Libya’s Transitional Government

The African Union appeared to soften its stance towards Libya’s transitional government on Wednesday, but still stopped short of recognizing the group as the country’s legitimate leadership.
In a statement released after meeting in South Africa, the Ad Hoc Committee of the African Union said it is committed to working with the National Transitional Council and “all other Libyan stakeholders” to establish an “all-inclusive national unity government.”
The African Union has so far rejected calls to recognize the NTC, instead suggesting its own “road map” for political transition in Libya.

Serbian army colonel Zarko Radunkovic found&killed in Serbian Embassy in Tripoli

Zarko Radunkovic, former Serbian army attache in Libya was killed in Tripoli on Saturday. ‘Blic’ learns. His body is presently in the building of the Embassy of Serbia in that country. Although we were told by diplomatic circles that Radunkovic died of heart attack, the intelligence forwarded to Serbian authorities indicated that he was killed
Radunkovic was a retired colonel of the Serbian and Montenegrin Army. He used to work as army attache in Libya from 2000 to 2005. According to ‘Blic’ information Serbian authorities were not satisfied about how Radunkovic was doing his job what led to closing of army representative office in 2005 and re-opening of it last year.

In the meantime Radunkovic went into pension but he kept on traveling to Libya frequently as a representative of a private Belgrade company ‘Kofis’ which is dealing with arms trading. Serbian authorities intervened on several occasions because of that company’s business dealing since it was affecting the work of a state enterprise ‘Jugoimport’ which was officially working with Libya.

‘At one moment Serbia was under threat of embargo on arms export because of the ‘Kofis’ dealing’, ‘Blic’ source who worked with Radunkovic said.
Just a couple of weeks ago Radunkovic appeared on the B92 TV where he commented the situation in Libya.

‘The biggest danger for Libya at the moment might be announced intention of distribution of arms to citizens. That might cause civil war rather than pose a threat to coalition forces. Libyan army cannot harm coalition forces seriously. Gaddafi has never preparing himself for war against his own people. Three equipped brigades had 50 to 60 modern tanks, the rest was an obsolete technique purchased from the former USSR and Russia. It was not maintained at all what made it useless’, Radunkovic said.

According to the latest intelligence Radunkovic is also brought in connection with engagement of five Serbian citizens arrested in Libya last month over suspicion to be Gaddafi’s mercenaries. After they were identified their families addressed Serbian media claiming that the arrested men were not mercenaries but ordinary road construction workers

Reuters via feb17
The French and British leaders will visit Libya on Thursday to congratulate the new rulers they helped install, but families fleeing besieged bastions of ousted strongman Muammar Gaddafi are a reminder that peace is still far off.
The visit will be a victory lap for Nicolas Sarkozy and David Cameron, who defied doubters at home to lead a NATO bombing campaign that succeeded in ushering in a victory by forces who swept away Gaddafi’s 42-year rule last month.

UK
The UK has circulated a draft resolution to Security Council members that would ease UN sanctions against Libya and hopes to have a vote on it this week, diplomats said on Wednesday.
The draft would have the council begin lifting six-month-old punitive measures imposed on Libya when former leader Muammar Gaddafi was overseeing a crackdown against demonstrators across the country.
According to the draft resolution, obtained by Reuters, the resolution would ask the 15-nation council to ease sanctions against Libya’s National Oil Corp and central bank to enable those two key institutions to start functioning.

Aljazeera
Ali Asghar Naseri, Iran’s ambassador to Libya, has returned to Tripoli to “resume his activities under the new political climate”, the Iranian foreign ministry has said in a statement.
The statement added that Tehran “hopes the ambassador’s presence and expansion of the Iranian embassy’s activities in the country would accelerate the process of development and deepening bilateral cooperation.”
Iran has yet to officially recognise the National Transitional Council, though Iranian foreign minister Ali Akbar Salehi recently invited Mustafa Abdel Jalil, the NTC’s chief, to visit Iran.
In early August, Iran said that it had “discreetly” provided humanitarian aid to the Libyan rebels.

UK
British Prime Minister David Cameron has arrived on a visit to Libya where he and French President Nicolas Sarkozy will meet the country’s new leaders, a spokeswoman for Cameron said on Thursday.
Cameron was expected to announce a package of assistance to support Libya’s transition after the end of Muammar Gaddafi’s 42-year-rule

Reuters
Libya expects oil production to reach 1.6 million barrels per day by the end of next year, a central bank representative said on Thursday.
“The full capacity which would be in the range of 1.6 million (barrels per day) I think (will be reached) by the end of 2012,” Abdulla Saudi told reporters on the sidelines of an Arab central bankers meeting in the Qatari capital.
The chairman of Libya’s National Oil Company told Reuters on Wednesday that the North African state would begin exporting oil in 10 days and could be producing 1 million barrels per day within six months.

Feb17
Britain’s Prime Minister David Cameron on Thursday pledged that Britain would help to hunt down fugitive former Libyan leader Muammar Gaddafi.
“This is not over,” Cameron told a news conference in Libyan capital Tripoli. “We will help you to find Gaddafi and bring him to justice.”
Cameron was on a joint visit to Tripoli with French President Nicolas Sarkozy. Both leaders will visit Benghazi, the cradle of the revolution that overthrew Gaddafi, later on Thursday.
“We stand ready to help but we want to know what it is you most want us to do,” Cameron said. “This is the moment when the Arab spring could be become the Arab summer and we see democracy advance in other countries, too.”

Doctors reveal hospital horrors under Gaddafi
Staff at Tripoli hospital tell how they set up clandestine clinics to treat wounded during Libya’s uprising.
Little of the sprawling complex of Tripoli Central Hospital reminds its visitors of the hardships that took place there during the final months of Muammar Gaddafi’s regime.
As staff members slowly return to their normal routines, hair-raising stories are emerging of what the doctors of the hospital have endured since the start of Libya’s

uprising in February.
Shortly after the first demonstrations in Tripoli were brutally dispersed by Gaddafi’s

army, the hospital was taken over by government troops, forcing doctors to report patients who came in with bullet wounds, doctors told Al Jazeera.
Many patients suspected of being anti-Gaddafi were taken away and have not been found since.
Evading the terror in the hospital corridors, a group of doctors affiliated with the hospital were said to have set up a network of secret field clinics throughout Tripoli, away from the eyes of security forces.
Private homes, schools and other buildings were converted into makeshift operating theatres, supplied with medical equipment that the doctors smuggled out of the hospital’s storage rooms.
It was, according to the doctors, a dangerous undertaking, as stealing equipment from the hospital was sanctioned by severe punishment if discovered.
“We were undercover doctors,” Noureddine Hassan Aribi, a vascular surgeon who was recently appointed as the hospital’s director, recalls when asked about the days when it all started.
“It was a nightmare. There were horrible injuries. My colleagues and I treated many people in houses in the neighbourhood of this hospital. If the wounds were too complicated, we’d take them to a private clinic. We removed bullets and stabilised fractures, using primitive tools such a planks of wood and pieces of metal.
“We created 24 secret field hospitals all over Tripoli. Some of the doctors were caught by Gaddafi’s forces and were taken to prison. At least one of them was killed and another one is still missing,” doctor Aribi told Al Jazeera.
Gaddafi’s adopted daughter
All the while life at the hospital had to continue as normally as possible, so as not to raise suspicions. That task was made all the more difficult by the presence of one particular surgeon in the hospital: Hana Gaddafi, the adopted daughter of the former Libyan leader.
Muammar Gaddafi once claimed that Hana had died in the 1986 US bombing of Tripoli. In fact, she finished medical school in Tripoli some years ago and recently started her second year as a general surgeon at the Central Hospital.
Her presence put extra pressure on the medical staff because none of the clandestine activities could be discussed in front of her.
“In the period before the uprising, Hana was doing a good job and she didn’t bother anyone. But when the revolution started she showed the ugly face of the Gaddafi family. She started telling colleagues not to treat patients who were anti-Gaddafi, whom she called ‘rats’,” Aribi said.

During the last two days of Gaddafi’s rule in August, the hospital was completely

overrun by Gaddafi’s troops, who demanded care for their wounded comrades. However, most of the doctors had agreed among each other to stay away from the hospital and only work in the neighbourhood’s field hospitals.
After August 20, fighters of the National Transitional Council (NTC) who had taken over the city had taken a cardboard portrait of Gaddafi off the wall in the hospital and laid it on the entrance floor for people to tread on as a sign of disrespect for the former Libyan leader.
Some nurses refused to step on his portrait, which led to heated arguments with the NTC guards at the hospital entrance. Some nurses even left the hospital because of threats made over their perceived allegiance to the old regime.
“I too do not like to step on his portrait,” Sahar, a fifth-year medical student and practitioner at the hospital, said. “I pity Gaddafi and I still feel compassion for him. The NTC cannot force me to do anything.”
Normality returns
Today, a sense of normality has returned to the Tripoli Central Hospital.
The old pro-Gaddafi director disappeared shortly after the fall of the regime and was replaced by a board of five doctors, headed by Aribi.
There is adequate medical equipment and the supplies are reasonable, doctors told Al Jazeera. The only thing that still reminds visitors of the revolution are the hundreds of ‘missing person photos taped to the corridor walls by desperate friends and family members.
Now that Gaddafi and his regime have gone, people visit the hospital to look for missing friends or family members in a grim database of photos of unidentified bodies that were taken to the morgue.
Many protesters, who were killed during the six-month crackdown, were secretly buried by family members without official procedures, for fear of retribution by the security forces.
As such, families of the deceased did not receive a death certificate that is needed to claim government compensation.
“Only now I dare to come here and tell the people at the morgue that I need a death certificate for my brother-in law,” Abdullah Hassan, a teacher from Tripoli, said.
Hassan says his brother-in-law was shot dead by Gaddafi’s troops during a demonstration in February and was buried in the garden of his own house.
According to Aribi, the Libyan healthcare system was in a constant state of crisis during the Gaddafi era.
“Gaddafi was anti-institution. That was his system, his philosophy. He thought that if he would destroy the institutions there would be no strong, organised opposition against his rule.

“A drastic change of mentality is needed from people who were conditioned to mistrust institutions and mistrust the government, as the whole system was built on corruption. People need to become aware that the new Libya will be for the Libyans, and not for Gaddafi,” Aribi said.
Even so, Aribi is optimistic about the future of his country.
“We have the will, the knowledge and the skills to improve things. It just takes a lot of hard work.”

RAF Tornados destroy former regime vehicles in Libya
During an armed reconnaissance patrol over Sebha in southern Libya yesterday morning, Royal Air Force Tornado GR4s located a number of former regime armoured vehicles occupying dug-in positions near the town.

Three of the vehicles were destroyed by RAF aircraft.

NATO was also maintaining an intensive presence over the coastal city of Sirte, and during the afternoon an RAF patrol identified one of Gaddafi’s multiple rocket launchers to the east of the city.

A Brimstone missile destroyed the vehicle.

Major General Nick Pope, the Chief of the Defence Staff’s Communications Officer, said: “At sea, Royal Navy vessels, including HM Ships Liverpool and Bangor, remain on patrol off the coast ensuring the free movement of shipping, especially the humanitarian supplies needed by the coastal communities after months of conflict.”

UK missions over Libya are undertaken as part of NATO’s Operation UNIFIED PROTECTOR to enforce United Nations Security Council Resolutions 1970 and 1973 and protect Libyan civilians at risk of attack.

French President Nicolas Sarkozy and David Cameron, the British prime minister, have arrived in Libya to meet the country’s new interim leaders, becoming the first Western heads of government to visit Tripoli since Muammar Gaddafi was toppled.
France’s finance minister said the visit to the capital was not about landing economic

deals but about showing support for the former rebels who deposed Gaddafi.
Al Jazeera’s David Poort asked Tripoli residents what they made of Anglo-French intentions.

Gaddafi bastion residents plead for an attack
Wary of alienating a powerful local tribe, provisional government forces massing outside the oasis town ceased fire this week to give civilians a chance to flee before storming Bani Walid.
More than a quarter of Bani Walid’s roughly 100,000 population has now fled, but residents said many more people were trapped by feared Gaddafi militiamen threatening to shoot anyone leaving their homes.

“My family is trapped inside,” said one man, Sharef Saleh, as he drove into Bani Walid. “I am going in to rescue them. I am not afraid.”

The commander of U.S. Africa Command told journalists that in his travels through Africa he is guided by two main principles: A safe, stable, and secure Africa is the best interest of Africans as well as the United States; and that Africans are best able to address their own security issues.

“The two principles that I talk about as I travel around Africa are the two things that I think guide us — the overarching principles,” U.S. AFRICOM’s General Carter Ham told more than two dozen journalists at a roundtable meeting with the Defense Writers Group on September 14, 2011, in Washington, D.C.

Leaders of one of Libya’s largest and most powerful tribes have told BBC Newsnight that they will take their own revenge on the killers of the rebel commander, General Abdel Fattah Younes, if the country’s new rulers fail to solve the case.
Elders of Younes’ Obeidi tribe said senior officials in the National Transitional Council (NTC) conspired with Islamic extremists to kill the general, whose mutilated body was found along with those of two senior aides in a valley near the rebel-held city of Benghazi on 28 July 2011.
Several of his fingers had been cut off, one eye gouged out, his stomach cut open and his body burned.
