Italy is so pro-#G it's disgusting. It was Italy's FM who warned Gaddafi that the US was coming to bomb his compound in '86 and warned him to leave his compound immediately.

Meanwhile, Cairo airport officials say a plane carrying a Libyan army general has landed there.

A Libyan diplomat has confirmed that Major General Zawi is carrying a message for the military council that is currently running Egypt.

General Zawi is reportedly a top Gaddafi aid that is responsible for military logistics and supplies.

...

However, experts say US-led western allies are attempting to seize control of oil reserves in the North African country.

6:54: Breaking: The Libyan authorities have offered a bounty of 500,000 Libyan dinars ($400,000) to anyone who captures rebel leader and former justice minister Mustafa Abdul Jalil and hands him in. In an urgent headline bar, Libyan state TV also announced a reward of 200,000 dinars ($160,000) for information leading to the capture of Mr Abdel Jalil, who was described as an “agent spy”.

TAHRIR ATTACK CAIRO MARCH 9 5.15 PM

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sK2jNRyt_ZE
At About 5.15 PM , the thugs attacked went through the defenses of the protesters and arrived at the round about . The Army also arrived at the same time. To me it looked as if the army was protecting the thugs. But within the Chaos down there , details could not be taken in logically.
WE NEED EXPLANATIONS
also I heard the thugs went on attacking normal people going to buy their vegetables and went as far ar MIdan Bab El Louk, and Talaat Harb on the other side.


You can not trust the Army. You're going around exposing state secrets on torture, rendition, blackmail, faked acts of terrorism they knew about. You think they're amused? Or the West either?

Squatters take over Colonel Gaddafi's son's £11m London mansion

Four of them were spotted walking around on the roof as police took photographs from below.

Residents reported the burglar alarm going off at the property in Hampstead Garden Suburb. A man arrived in a black Porsche and had to be calmed down by police before driving away.

Gaddafi's son Saif tried to sell the property after his family's multi-billion pound fortune was frozen around the world. The house has a swimming pool, sauna, Jacuzzi and suede-lined cinema room.

...

Speaking from the roof, the group's leader, using the pseudonym Montgomery Jones, said: "We want to make sure the property goes back into the hand of the Libyan people who deserve it. We're here for a serious reason, we're not here to luxuriate: I don't think what we are doing is legal but I don't think it's relevant if you are talking

He performed at a private event during the 2005 Venice Film Festival that was later linked to the clan of Col Gaddafi. 50 Cent follows in the footsteps of other artists such as Beyonce, Usher, Mariah Carey and Nelly Furtado.

40. UK Foreign Office, NATO confirm weapons seized in #Afghanistan were supplied by #Iran.
fieldproducer Neal Mann
UK Foreign Office confirm weapons seized in #Afghanistan were supplied by #Iran. FCO statement:

NATO in Afghanistan have confirmed that weapons seized in a recent operation by Afghan and ISAF forces in Nimruz were supplied by elements within the Iranian regime and were destined for the Taliban.

Speaking today in response to this, the Foreign Secretary William Hague said:

“I am extremely concerned by the latest evidence that Iran continues to supply the Taleban with weaponry – weapons clearly intended to provide the Taleban with the capability to kill Afghan and ISAF soldiers from significant range. The detailed technical analysis, together with the circumstances of the seizure, leave us in no doubt that the weaponry recovered came from Iran. This is completely unacceptable. It is not the behaviour of a responsible neighbour. It is at odds with Iran’s claim to the international community and to its own people that it supports stability and security in Afghanistan. My Ambassador in Tehran raised this with the Iranian MFA earlier today. I call on Iran to act in the interests of a stable and secure region.”

Aerial bombardments all day in Ras #Lanuf | @Feb17voices

AUDIO

Over there it’s the same story. Yesterday he came down on us with airplanes and today they were bombing the city in the middle of the city, the city of Ras Lanuf. The bombs hit a house and yesterday they hit a family on the road. The bomb hit next to their car, one of them died. Bombardments are coming down still. He has taken a position near Bin Jawad, where we were tricked. When we got to Bin Jawad, we continued all the way to Nawfalia and then came back. Of course, Bin Jawad is full of tribes, they are bedouins. There are tribes called Hsun, Wlad Wafia and Ziayna.

These three tribes, he’s given them weapons and he’s given their youth money, 200,000. And the weapons were inside the homes when we got there, there were grenades and missiles. After we put up our flag there, we went to Nawfalia and maybe forty to forty-five of our guys spent the night at the mosque and another group spending the night at the school in Bin Jawwad. After we came back and returned to Ras Lanouf, in the morning when we were leaving, some guys had attacked our guys in Bin Jawwad at night. They had captured them and they were torturing them and their life is very difficult. And in the night Muammar’s army came out. As we were going towards Nawfalia, they came out in front of us.

Whoever they captured they captured, and whoever they killed they killed. To the point where now two days later there are still corpses on the road. Neither have they let the revolutionaries pick up the corpses nor have they taken the corpses to the hospitals in the morgue. Until now the corpses are still on the road, as a sign to us as if they are scaring us or trying to terrorize us. Today and yesterday its been all bombardment with airplanes and there was a large army collecting in the area of Nawfalia, around 2500 soldiers and there’s a big army in Bin Jawad and they have heavy weapons, and rockets and tanks. They’re bringing all kinds of tanks and rockets and most of us, about 70% either don’t have weapons or they have very light weapons and the ammo is short.

They’re bringing large trucks and tanks about 30 tanks, they say. The rocket-mounted vehicles about 50. With regards to Ajdabya and Brega and Aguila those places are safe, there’s nothing happening. But in Ras Lanuf I’m sure there will be a large battle and an extraordinary number of people will die.
