39. Al Jazeera says reports are emerging that it might not have been NATO that hit rebels in Ajdabiya
6:19am Al Jazeera's Laurence Lee, in Benghazi, says reports are emerging that it might not have been NATO that hit a rebel armoured unit in Ajdabiya. He says it might instead have been a light plane used by Gaddafi forces, suggesting that they are getting arms from outside.

This is highly unusual for AJE to be reporting as plausible. NATO ignored Q&As, did not confirm or deny that they did it. We'll see soon enough, just like with the oil pipeline example (NATO denied it, Gaddafi likely did it, etc).

Something doesn't look right in the video of the falling munitions, it seems to be falling way too slow for a modern airstrike.

Like I said, we'll see.
