Egypt: Protesters raid on Cairo state security HQ


Habib el-Adly has been blamed for police violence during the protests

...

Egyptian protesters have stormed the headquarters of the secret police in Cairo, demanding that the organisation be dismantled.

It followed rumours that officials were destroying documents that could be used in court to prove human rights abuses.

...

On Saturday, former Interior Minister Gen Habib al-Adly - who had been in charge of the secret services - appeared in court accused of money-laundering and corruption. He denied all the charges.

...

In the port city of Alexandria later, several people were injured as protesters and police clashed in the lower floors of the state security agency there.

21. This is the #1 reason it is not a civil war but a revolution.
The revolutionaries are treating their own people as their own people. Just read a bit of history up on the Revolutionary War in the United States. The slaughter of the "enemy" was impossible to comprehend (the US lost more people in its civil war than in all wars that the US has had combined).

UAE condemns attacks on civilians in Libya
2011-03-05 21:23:51

WAM Abu Dhabi, 5 March 2011 (WAM) -- The UAE Ministry of Foreign Affairs is closely monitoring the latest developments in Libya and reiterating its rejection and condemnation of bloodshed and attacks against civilians.

''The UAE will play its responsible role in relieving the Libyan people and alleviating their suffering,'' Juma Mubarak Al Junaibi, Undersecretary of the Ministry, affirmed today.

In a statement, Al Junaibi said the Ministry had followed news reports about supply some of 4x4 vehicles for use in the ongoing fighting and emphasizes again that the Government of the UAE has already taken appropriate measures to ban export of these vehicles since the eruption of events there.

The UAE reaffirmed that ''It will not allow export of these vehicles or equipments that could be purchased from commercial markets out of its keenness to stop bloodshed. The concerned authorities in the UAE will follow up the strict and thorough implementation of this measure.

45. Are these the vehicles referred to in the cables?
If so, that means that some kind of a deal was eventually struck, which is now being backed away from after a partial sale was completed. I'm not really on top of this particular topic, obviously.

of the license request by a jointly owned U.S. and Turkish
company to refurbish Libya"s fleet of M113 vehicles, in which
Khamis al-Qadhafi had expressed a personal interest. He asked
emboffs to provide him with a written update on the status of
the request, which he would then pass to Khamis. xxxxxxxxxxxx then
reiterated a GOL complaint (which Saif had raised with the
Ambassador on November 27, ref A) that a UAE company could not
meet the requirements for the sale of a fleet of Jordanian
"Tiger" 4x4 vehicles to the Libyan military, as the U.S.
manufacturer of the vehicles" engines would not approve the
sale. DATT informed xxxxxxxxxxxx that, per discussions with the
manufacturer, it was that company"s policy, not U.S. law, that
prohibited the sale of equipment to the Government of Libya.
"We have a long way to go," retorted xxxxxxxxxxxx. He stated that if
the UAE could not outfit the Tiger vehicles with American
engines, then the Libyans would purchase engines from
Mercedes-Benz. "But we want American engines," he added. DATT
extended the possibility that Libyan military procurement
provide a Letter of Request to purchase the engines via the
Foreign Military Sales process, which xxxxxxxxxxxx said he would
discuss with the appropriate officials.

Italy's Berlusconi calls for democratic change in Libya
Berlusconi has called for democratic change in Libya but has warned against an indiscriminate freeze on Libyan state assets
AFP , Saturday 5 Mar 2011

Speaking on the sidelines of a conference in Helsinki on Friday, Italian Prime Minsster Berlusconi said he hoped for "change like that in Tunisia and Egypt towards a democracy" that would allow Italy and Libya to keep their important economic ties.

When asked whether Italy was considering freezing Libyan state assets in line with sanctions imposed on Muamer Gaddafi and his inner circle by the United Nations and the European Union, the premier called for caution.

"We have to distinguish carefully between the stakes that belong to the Libyan people and those that belong to one family in particular," he said.

Libya has up to 3.6 billion euros ($4.9 billion) worth of shares in Italian businesses, Il Sole 24 business daily said last week.

BREAKING: Students given guns in Sirt
Posted on March 5, 2011

22:16 BBC Dr Sunita Singh, who teaches at the University of Sirte, tells the BBC’s Newshour programme gunfire has been heard for the first time in daytime.” Dr Singh says every student has been given a gun to protect themselves against any sort of invasion.


Hope they don't fall for it and turn those guns on #G. I don't think they'll be able to shoot other young Libyans their age.

Muhammad son-of-Muammar al-Gaddafi controls main ISP in #Libya. Still, they’d rather shut Internet down than try to control it. #netfreedom
