Libyan pro-Gaddafi forces 'fail' to retake Zawiyah
Opposition forces armed with tanks and anti-aircraft guns 'beat back' troops loyal to Gaddafi in six-hour battle

...

Ranged against them is a formidable force from the Khamis Brigade, led by one of Gaddafi's sons, which on Monday afternoon had moved around a dozen modern tanks close to Zawiyah as well as six BM-21 truck-mounted "Grad" rocket launchers within range of the town. US diplomats have said the brigade is the best-equipped force in Libya.

...

"We were able to repulse the attack. We damaged a tank with an RPG. The mercenaries fled after that," said a resident, who spoke on condition of anonymity for fear of government reprisals.

He said Gaddafi had called Zawiyah's influential tribal leader Mohammed al-Maktouf and warned him that if the rebels did not leave the town's main square by early Tuesday, they would be hit by warplanes. "We are expecting a major battle," the resident said, adding that the rebels had killed eight soldiers and mercenaries on Monday.

...

In Misrata, pro-Gaddafi troops who control part of an air base on the town's outskirts tried to advance on Monday. They were repulsed by opposition forces, who included residents with automatic weapons and army units that had defected, according to one of the opposition fighters.

In Libya, an unlikely hero of a youth-led revolution
Posted on March 1, 2011 by S050



BENGHAZI, LIBYA – Mehdi Mohammed Zeyo was the most unlikely of revolutionary heroes. The bespectacled 49-year-old worked in the supplies department of the state-owned oil company. He was a diabetic with two teenage daughters.

But something snapped inside him as a youth-led uprising in Libya against the government of Moammar Gaddafi quickly turned bloody.

For days Zeyo had carried the bodies of teenage boys from outside a security base in the center of the city where Gaddafi’s militiamen fired on young protesters. Every day he went with hundreds of others to the cemeteries to bury the boys. His outrage grew, until Zeyo quietly made a decision, according to his family, friends and witnesses to his fiery death.On the morning of Feb. 20, he walked down the stairs of his apartment building with a gas canister hoisted on his shoulder, witnesses said. He put two canisters inside his trunk of his car, along with a tin can full of gunpowder. Driving toward the base, he flashed the victory sign to the young men protesting outside and hit the gas pedal.

Gaddafi’s security forces sprayed his black car with bullets, setting off a powerful explosion, witnesses said. The blast tore a hole in the base’s front gate, allowing scores of young protesters and soldiers who had defected to stream inside. That night, the opposition won the battle for the base, and for Benghazi, as Gaddafi’s forces retreated.

In the Name of God the Beneficent the Merciful


O ye who believe! Persevere in patience and constancy: vie in such perseverance; and strengthen each other; and be conscious of God; that ye may prosper.

In this historic period through which our beloved country passes and under these difficult circumstances in which Gaddafi’s tyrannical regime sheds the blood of the innocent, who have demanded through peaceful and civilized means the most basic of rights, a dignified life, but have been met with hired mercenaries and live ammunition, we declare the following:

1. We pray for the souls of our honorable martyrs, who have fallen in every corner
of our beloved nation. We extend our deepest condolences to their families and
loved ones, and we vow to continue the struggle until we achieve a clear victory,
bringing down the regime and liberating the entirety of our homeland from the
tyranny and oppression that it has suffered over forty-one dark years.

2. We support the efforts made by our brethren in the east of the country, as they
seek to form an interim national council that represents the magnificent uprising
of February 17th. We reiterate our support for their representation of this uprising
in all parts of the country until our national territory is liberated in its entirety.

3. We completely reject any form of negotiation with this criminal regime, which
has made permissible the taking of Libyan souls and has not hesitated to hire
mercenaries to murder our proud people.

4. We call for peaceful demonstrations in all of our nation’s mosques following the
upcoming Friday prayers, so that it will become, God-willing, a day of resolve.
We ask our brethren in Tripoli to maintain their protests in the squares of the
mosques without proceeding to Martyrs’ Square (Green Square)—which is
occupied by the regime’s cronies—in order to increase the hotbeds of protest and
disperse the forces of the enemy.

Long Live Libya,

At an Eerie Crossroads in Tripoli
By MOISES SAMAN and JAMES ESTRIN

...

There are two or three dozen foreign journalists staying in the same hotel, and we were in a convoy of minibuses. They took us to the edge of town. We walked into the checkpoint manned by the armed opposition and were met by the rebels. At first, we didn’t understand who they were. I didn’t know if they were pro-Qaddafi militias. The rebels welcomed us. They escorted us to a fairly sizable crowd of opposition supporters. When they saw these foreign journalists walk in, they were surprised, too. I still don’t understand exactly what happened.

...



Q.
Do you have sense of mood in Tripoli?

A.
There’s a weird sense of normalcy in the city. But once you start getting out to the neighborhoods where there were clashes, you see broken windows, debris on the street and bullet holes. Once you start getting a little further out of Tripoli, you see different rings of security.

It’s hard to know what’s happening behind the scenes. There is this strange sense of a stalemate. The city doesn’t feel under siege just yet. The government is clearly in control here. The towns outside of Tripoli are a different story. After the events of the last couple of weeks, there’s probably no going back.

There’s an eerie sense that something’s coming. But we really don’t know what.

Mullen talked about how rapidly things were changing, even during his trip to the ME.

He said that a no-fly zone is "an extraordinarily complex operation to set up."

He also said aircraft would be subject to attack from air defenses on the ground.

44. UN pilots could knock out these rocket launchers Gaddafi is setting up -- !!!

Where is UN by the way?

[pinboy3niner]

52. The Security Council would have to adopt it

China and Russia are opposed, but it's possible they could be persuaded to abstain.

I don't think there are any U.N. fighter/bomber pilots--they rely on military assets of member states. If the Sec. Council were to adopt a resolution declaring a no-fly zone, the EU and/or NATO could be tasked with enforcement.

[defendandprotect]

58. Been noticing that Russia opposes the "no fly" zone --

vs other UN action --

Think just the threat of having a bombing of Gaddafi's palace or his outposts

would be enough to budge him to one of his tunnels or whatever it is that he

thinks he's going to do. What the hell does he think he's going to do, btw?

ICC will pursue him wherever he goes --

And if he commits even more atrocities, many nations/leaders will be more likely

to shun him.

[pinboy3niner]

59. The U.N. isn't contemplating bombing Gaddafi

Enforcing a no-fly zone, should one be declared, wouldn't include airstrikes against him or his ground forces (except to the extent necessary to protect aircraft from his air defenses).

A bombing campaign and enforcing a no-fly zone are two different things.

[defendandprotect]

60. Understand they are two different things --

but think it's clear that we need some way to keep Gaddafi from doing

any further harm to protesters. Did you see the video of the rocket launcher?

OMG -- and who knows what else he has?


Summing up -- don't know if they have even totally approved of the idea of

a "no fly" zone -- because of the complications --

and the "bombing" by anyone of Gaddafi in his palace and/or his rocket launchers

is simple wishful thinking on my part!!

:)

[pinboy3niner]

63. I've been guilty of the same wishful thinking

Hoping one of his defecting pilots, instead of ditching, would head for G's compound and give him the best "Take this job and shove it" message ever... :evilgrin:

[defendandprotect]

65. In one of the tweets, they comment that they think ....

that Gaddafi is holding the families of those pilots hostage --

to prevent something like that from happening, presumably!!

all the people you've killed, their families coming for you -- on and on!!

Opposition fighters in the town of Ajdabiya says government forces have bombed armed depots taken over by the opposition.

Battles are also raging in other cities taken over by those trying to bring the Libyan leader down.

meanwhile, the Libyan leader remains defiant, scoffing at suggestions the uprising is threatening his rule.

what horror.

[necso]

31. There are any number

of powerful people who won't openly say it (and who won't like that I say it), but that don't want G to fall. Because if G can fall, then the message is very clear. However, if by some chance G should manage to triumph (or even stalemate the situation indefinitely), then this is a tremendous blow to peoples' aspirations.

The regime stills seems to have considerable flexibility of movement and significant resources, and this has military implications that bear consideration, especially relative to those who do not. Now, I know there are great suspicions (I have the same -- of the real powers-that-be, the plutocrats; they're simply inhuman vultures), but using very narrow and selective support, like that would limit the regime's flexibility (eg, an nfz), should be given consideration before it's absolutely necessary (there would be some delay in getting help everywhere it's needed).

Where's the United Nations? Perhaps they could at the least knock out these

57. Let me go a little further:

Your suspicions (while justified, but this only renders them more potent) are being cleverly played-upon. (The would-be masters-of-all use pretty much the same means wherever they strike -- and whatever they seek. I am familiar with this through struggling here for true freedom and democracy.)

Moreover, God forbid, should the trend of battle turn against you, the help that might(!) be available to you when you look like a sure thing may well evaporate; and then some of those who switched may switch back (sad to say, but possible), etc. ... We all know where this leads.

The bandits that you're facing know these things; they know the practical considerations of military and political affairs; and they know the techniques of manipulation and control, of using fear and terror.

After all, they have been very successful bandits for a very long time.

Hillary Clinton today warned that Libya faces a drawn-out civil war as the U.S. stepped up pressure on 'delusional' Moammar Gaddafi to quit.

America has deployed hard-hitting naval and air force units around the North African country and Britain has begun drawing up plans for a no-fly zone in a concerted effort to hasten the tyrant's downfall.

The aircraft carrier USS Enterprise, which had been had been on pirate-hunting duty off the coast of Somalia, is now steaming to the mouth of the Suez Canal in the Red Sea.

The deadly strike force aboard the nuclear-powered carrier is already within flying distance of Libya but the Enterprise is said to be heading closer to the country and its rogue dictator.



Desperate: Refugees fleeing the unrest queue up at the Libya-Tunisia border. The UN has warned that the situation 'is reaching crisis point'. Some 15,000 people are expected to cross the border today alone

AUDIO in Arabic

(Mock encyclopedia) Gaddafi: a creature whose heart is dead, who does not have even an atom of humanity in him. He must be forced off his chair. This creature is similar to a monkey, he is characterized by stupidity, but monkeys would be insulted by being compared to this creature. This imbecile, who once said that a woman should have the right to run in parliamentary elections whether she was male or female.

So the woman would be male? But I call on all Arab people, to take a united stance against this tyrant, who is obliterating his people. I urge all Arab and Muslim rulers to speak as one, and eliminate this creature and his dead heart. Force him off his filthy chair, exile him, kill him, try him. He said, if a man sets fire to himself, we will imprison him for five years. He’s a madman. A madman. Burn him, boil him, do what you want, just kill him. He’s a criminal, a tyrant. Curse him and those like him.
