The Battle for Labraq Airport: Said's Story

May 10

After the city of al Baida was liberated from Gaddafi's hated grip, Matthias Gebauer, a writer for German paper Der Spiegel, spoke with one protester in his hospital bed. Named Said, he had been badly injured at the very start of a battle for the local airport, of February 18. The city had been in turmoil since Wednesday the 15th, with police stations torched and reports of massacres of civilians off the bat. Somehow the whole city was quickly overwhelmed, with some security forces defecting to the rebels, others fleeing, or being killed or captured, or captured then killed

Said explained how on the fourth day of this, February 18th, rumors spread of reinforcements - about 400 foreign African mercenaries being flown in to mow them down. With the city apparently under control enough, hundreds of citizens rushed to the airport to meet the Chadians, he said. 

By the map at the left, we can see they didn't likely walk, but it wasn't far either - about ten miles down Msah rode - to al-Baida or Labraq airport. The Spiegel report and other sources confirm plenty of physical evidence of a fierce fight there, one that reportedly ran for at least two days. 

But for the moment, our focus is on Said, who only saw the first part of it.  He was shot in the legs on the first wave and went own as they tried to storm the place. One leg was perhaps beyond saving, it was reported, but even of his feet, he used his phone to stay mentally involved in the airport battle. 
Over and over, he called acquaintances for news of the fight, which could easily be heard in the city five kilometers away. Said learned that the mercenaries continued firing on the demonstrators from the terminal building, even using heavy weaponry against the poorly armed insurgents.
It's a bit further than five kilometers. That's some heavy weaponry to thud like that. It could be. 

The main thing about Said is this friend of his, Farj, aged 23, who had just died in a Tripoli hospital. As if witnessing it all first-hand, Gebauer says "when Said learns of his friend's death, he becomes enraged. "This regime killed my friend," he yells. "They murdered him in the hospital."" That's quite a bit of news to happen to pass on right when the reporter is there.

We learn that the demise of Farj was passed on via his father, who learned by phone from a relative with contacts in Tripoli. It was convincing enough for him. "He was still young," he said. "But he died for the right cause. He is a martyr for freedom." 

As for how the two pals wound up injured or dead and so far apart, the report explains:
On Friday one week ago, the two were taking part in a protest in Bayda with 23 other friends when they heard a disturbing rumor making the rounds. A giant Ilyushin transport plane had landed at the airport carrying 400 African mercenaries [actually Libyans from Sabah]. The demonstrators knew immediately [Twitter rumors] what the mercenaries' mission was [...] crush the protests, if necessary by firing indiscriminately into the masses. Said and Farj rushed to the airport.
It's hard to believe, but in the short drive to the airport, no one thought to go back and get the few guns some of them were bound to have, and so they arrived for the fight "armed only with wooden clubs and steel rods." Not a good start, and "the mercenaries opened fire with their machine guns," an obvious escalation relative to wood and metal implements. 

This is where Said went down, and from the ground he saw Farj captured: "They shot him in the leg and dragged him into the terminal," he said. "Since then," Gebauer was told, and repeated. "Farj and the rest of Said's friends have been missing."  "Said assumes that they were taken to Tripoli by airplane," based on no sign afterwards, and apparently one plane escaping (?) with wounded protesters (but leaving behind a couple hundred "mercenaries" to be captured). It is thus interpolated that "Said was the only one of his [25] friends who survived the battle for the airport," by managing to not be dragged off to Tripoli like the other 24.  Gebauer continues: 
The phone call from Tripoli finally provided Said with certainty about the fate of his friend Farj. But he is consumed by a new suspicion. Doctors from clinics in the capital have called rebels in Bayda with disturbing news. Units of Gadhafi loyalists, Said said the doctors reported, are gathering up injured Gadhafi opponents so that they are unable to report on the regime's brutality. Said is certain that one of those units killed his friend.
"You don't die from a bullet in the leg," he says. "After all, I'm not dead."
That's quite some detective work. "Said said the doctor reported" that units were storming hospitals for wounded protesters they had put there after bringing them to Tripoli to be killed. This had the benefit of adding some witnesses in the hospital staff, who could tip off sleuths like Farj's friend and his dad. 

Any single part of this story is possible enough, but taken as a whole, Said's account clearly has some issues. He's not unique that way among our news sources in the rebel camp. They just don't often get scrutinized enough.

    More than 100 members of a banned Islamist militant group were freed from Abu Salim on Wednesday. It is not clear if the Benghazi clashes and the release of the inmates were connected.

    Libyan authorities released on Wednesday evening February 16
    110 prisoners of the Libyan Fighting Group , including senior figures ,
    one of them the brother of prominent member of al-Qaeda. Abdel Wahab Mohammed,

    Paradoxically, the killing designed to liquidate Qaddafi’s opposition may turn out to be a cause of his demise.

    In mid-December 2010, Busalim survivors set a date for February 17, 2011,
    to coincide with the fifth anniversary of an earlier Benghazi protest the authorities had suppressed, and they gained inspiration from the Tunisian and Egyptian uprisings.
    In fact, they were pre-empted by fourteen lawyers protesting on February 15, two days before the planned rally, against the detention of a fellow lawyer, Fathi Turbil, who represented families of the Busalim victims seeking the return of their bodies.

    Seizing the moment, Mohammed Bu Sidra and other preachers issued fatwas declaring nonparticipation in street protests a sin.

    Under pressure from their young members, local tribal sheiks echoed the call,
    declaring that anyone who suppressed the protests would lose tribal protection.
    Army commanders in the east defected en masse.

      Mr. Suchomel, who was evacuated by a Turkish ship, provided the Associated Press with a video which he said was given to him by militiamen in Benghazi to smuggle out.

      It showed the aftermath of a scene in which a military tank seems to have run over a red car with some people still trapped inside and others running around frantically and shouting.

    3. Benghazi 2011/2/18


      This morning witnesses said members of a Libyan army unit had defected and "liberated" Benghazi from Mr Gaddafi's forces.

      Two residents of Benghazi told Reuters members of the army's "Thunderbolt" squad had switched sides after days of violence.

      "They are now saying that they have overpowered the Praetorian Guard
      and that they have joined the people's revolt,"
      lawyer Mohamed Al-Mana said by telephone.

      Libyan-Australian Mohammed told ABC Radio he spoke to his cousin,
      a doctor in one of Benghazi's main hospitals, last night.

      "He told me last night it's more than 280 people killed
      and more than 500 people injured

      In Benghazi, Habib al-Obaidi,
      head of the intensive care unit at the main Al-Jalae hospital,
      said the bodies of 50 people, mostly killed by gunshots, were brought there on Sunday afternoon. The deaths came after scores were killed on Saturday.

      After initially letting slip that the earliest Libyan protests were organized by the LIFG,
      Al Jazeera quickly changed its line to present a heavily filtered account portraying the events as ‘peaceful protests'.
      To explain away the gunshot deaths of Libyan soldiers during the uprising,
      the Qatar-based network presented

      a bizarre scenario of 150 dead soldiers in Libya
      having been executed by their officers for ‘refusing to fight'.

      The mysterious officers then miraculously vacated their base disappearing into thin air while surrounded by angry protesters!
      Off the record, one American intelligence analyst called these media claims an ‘absurdity' and suggested instead the obvious: that the soldiers were gunned down in an armed assault by war-hardened returned militants from Iraq and Afghanistan....

    2. Following the seconds attack on a funeral, opposition forces commandeered bulldozers and tried to breach the walls, often succumbing under heavy fire.

      As fighting continued, a mob attacked a local army base on the outskirts of Benghazi and forced the soldiers to give up their weapons, including three small tanks.

      Opposition members than rammed those tanks into the Katiba’s walls.

      Days later, the burned hulks of the armored vehicles could still be seen, stuck halfway into the breaches they made.

      The fighting stopped in the morning of the 20th.

      Another 30 people were killed during the previous 24 hours of fighting.

      For a third time, a funeral procession was passing the compound.

      However, under the cover of the funeral, a suicide car-bomber attacked the compound’s gates blowing them up.

      Opposition fighters again attacked the base, this time reinforced with fighters from al-Baida and Derna.

      During this final attack by the opposition 42 people died.

    1. Friday, February 18, 2011 Hawari Internal Security Directorate

      The Internal Security Directorate was attacked and torched by anti-Gaddafi protestors on February 18th, only one day after large-scale protests kicked off in Benghazi.
      http://www.thedailybeast.com/articles/2011/02/26/horrific-libyan-prison-exposed.html

      After seizing the Katiba, protesters found the bodies of 13 uniformed security officers inside who had been handcuffed and shot in the head, then set on fire, said Hassan, the doctor.

      Inside the Katiba compound, protesters found the bodies of 13 uniformed security officers who had been handcuffed and shot in the head, then set on fire, said Hassan, the doctor.

      benghazi Friday 18 february : 13 victims were buried in the city's Hawari cemetery.
      Several thousand mourners on Friday went straight from weekly prayers to funerals for the Benghazi dead, witnesses told AFP,
      with one reporting that 13 victims were buried in the city's Hawari cemetery.


      Tuesday 01 March 2011The bodies were in dark green shrouds lying on the concrete floor of the morgue,
      10 prisoners shot and then set on fire as the security forces of Colonel Muammar Gaddafi unleashed a last round of vengeful violence before being forced to flee.

      The dead men are said to have been soldiers who had refused to open fire on those marching against the regime. They had been disarmed and beaten up by their comrades before being incarcerated in an underground cell in al-Katiba, the main military encampment in Benghazi.

      But the violence has not been one-way.
      There were also the bodies of three "mercenaries"
      from sub-Saharan Africa used by the regime against the demonstrators.
      Their bodies, with deep wounds to the head and torso, lay beside that of a Libyan soldier. These, too, said Mr Elami, will remain unclaimed.

      http://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/africa/body-bags-reveal-fate-of-soldiers-who-refused-to-fire-on-their-own-people-2228512.html


      Elsanous Ali Eldorsi, a retired judge in Benghazi, said:We have buried today 11 bodies of soldiers who refused to fire on civilians and were executed by Gaddafi officers ... The bodies were cut, heads in one side and legs in the other …
      It is a crime what is happening here.

      As fighting continued, a mob attacked a local army base on the outskirts of Benghazi and forced the soldiers to give up their weapons, including three small tanks. Opposition members than rammed those tanks into the Katiba’s walls.

      Troops remaining in Benghazi had been ordered not to return fire, so much so, that when one military barracks was attacked by the “peaceful protestors,”
      who used a suicide bomber to blow in the gates, the soldiers allowed themselves to be captured rather than return fire.

      The black soldiers were separated out–and lynched.

      Human Rights Watch also confirmed the death of at least one protester in Misrata on February 19, bringing the total number of those killed on February 19 to 85

      A doctor in Libya's third-largest city of Misrata, 125 miles (200 kilometers) east of Tripoli, said residents retrieved two more bodies of those killed in fighting with pro-Gadhafi forces near the city's air base Friday.
      That raised the death toll from fighting to 27.

      About 30 people who took part in the battle remain unaccounted for,

      said the doctor who spoke on condition of anonymity because he feared reprisals.


      An exact death toll has been difficult to obtain in the chaos, but a medical committee in the eastern city of Benghazi, where the uprising began on Feb. 15,

      said at least 228 people had been killed, including 30 unidentified bodies,

      and 1,932 injured.


      Refugees report that the Israeli Star of David flag was draped over the largest Mosque in Misurata on the second day of fighting, actions guaranteed to humiliate and antagonize the local population.

      France’s top human rights official said up to 2,000 people could have died
      in the unrest and he feared Gaddafi could unleash “migratory terrorism”
      on Europe as his regime collapses.“The question is not if Gaddafi will fall, but when and at what human cost,” Francois Zimeray told Reuters. “For now the figures we have … more than 1,000 have died, possibly 2,000, according to sources.”

    Benghazi 21 february 2011
    ohchr29. The Commission interviewed a number of medical personnel on duty in the hospitals.[6]
    A doctor confirmed that most of the wounds during this period were of gunshots to the head and chest.
    He further described how, on 21 February,
    he had been called to Fadeel ben Oumar military base, where in an underground cell,
    nine burned bodies were found. There was a fuel jerrycan beside the bodies.

    The bodies, (seemingly in civilian clothes from what remained), reportedly had their hands tied behind their back. The doctor noted they had suffered shots to the head, and he believed from the condition of the bodies that they had been burned after being killed.[7]

    The Misurata prisoners that were released said that they were paid 2500 dinar
    for every soldier they killed and another 1000 dinar for burning the bodies.

    3. 10.32am: A Libyan political refugee from Manchester has gone on hunger strike and says he won't stop until the British government "gets firm" with Muammar Gaddafi.

      Saad Amer, 52, spent seven years in prison in Tripoli during the 1980s for protesting against the regime.
      Amer, who now lives in Cheetham Hill after fleeing Libya in 1995, told the Manchester Evening News:
      "It is very important for the British government to say Gaddafi must step down now. I am not happy with the statements coming from here. There needs to be stronger language."

      Amer, a translator, is originally from Benghazi, which is understood to have seen some of the most bloodshed since the protests began.
      He added: "I have family there and it's very worrying. Everybody in the world knows Gaddafi is crazy. Something needs to be done urgently."

      Resident Abdallah Bubakr told AFP rebels turned up at the military base, demanding weapons to take to the front at Raslanuf, an oil town further west
      that rebels later on Friday claimed to have captured from Gaddafi's forces.

      "Two cars rode up with people at the place and said they wanted weapons to take to Raslanuf.
      They entered the store and just after they left Rajma, there was the first explosion, followed five minutes later by another," he said.

      "We have a huge explosion in a weapons depot," Mustafa Gheriani,
      a spokesman for the rebels' self-declared national council set up in Benghazi, Libya's second largest city. He said "sabotage" could have been the cause.

      An AFP journalist who visited the hospital saw 11 bodies in the morgue, some of them horrifically disfigured and burnt. The corpses were wrapped in blankets and lined up on the floor, as medics rushed to treat the wounded.

      Wounded and dead bodies are received in high numbers at Jala hospital in Benghazi. On the evening of March 4, a huge deposit of ammunition exploded and killed approximately 20 people outside of Benghazi. Rebels claim that it was Gaddafi's forces that did this, others fear that it was an accident caused by the rebels themselves. Benghazi is now in the hands of the rebels. On 17 February 2011 Libya saw the beginnings of a revolution against the 41 year regime of Col Muammar Gaddafi.

    11. comment May 21, 2014 at 6:50 PM The burning of Pro Gaddafi soldiers


      Or perhaps they were killed by insurgents in battle or executed after capture
      and rebel forces or sympathizers burned their bodies after their deaths.
      Amer Saad mentions the execution of another fifty “African mercenaries”
      and two “conspirators.” The rebel atrocity videos contain evidence of both summary executions and lynchings.

      But is there any reason to believe that the rebels would burn the corpses of Libyan soldiers?
      Well, as a matter of fact there is. Correspondent Jean-Louis Le Touzet of the French daily Libération was recently embedded with rebel forces in Misrata.
      His report suggests that while the rebels reserve a decent burial for their own, they regularly dispose of the bodies of enemy soldiers precisely by burning them.


      Le Touzet accompanied the rebels to the Tameen Insurance Building,
      a strategic structure in downtown Misrata that they had only captured from loyalist forces the day before.
      A former employee of the company told him that the rebels had removed two bodies from the building, “thrown them in a pick up and burned them on the way to the port.”
      Le Touzet saw bodies still lying on the grounds outside the building.
      As for a dead comrade, one of the rebels explained, “We haven’t been able to collect him, but we’re going to bury him in the Cemetery of the Martyrs of February 20th.”

      And as for a dead loyalist soldier? “We’re going to burn him,” a rebel told Le Touzet and then spit on the ground.

    -- Libyans are under siege. Each and every Libyan knows that protesting is
    a death sentence yet they continue to take to the streets.
    The Gaddafi regime has declared war against the people of Libya, stating that it
    would fight to the very last bullet.

    As of February 21, 2011, the International Coalition Against War Criminals has reported
    519 deaths, 3,980 wounded and at least 1,500 missing in Libya since the start of demonstrations a few days ago.
    The numbers being reported by Libyans on the ground are much higher, with thousands more injured.

    Other eyewitnesses in Berka district in Benghazi said African refugees carrying Gadhafi pictures and green flags were bussed in, chanting, "Long live Gadhafi."

    The move to restore Gadhafi's image came as the Libyan opposition said police in some cities had gone over to the protesters.

    According to Mohammed Ali Abdullah, deputy leader of the exiled National Front for the Salvation of Libya, said that because local police and residents in the town of Beyida belong to the same tribe, "it was impossible for the police to keep attacking its own people."

  18. Gaddafi’s reported use of mercenaries
    appears to have tipped the hand of many protesters and armed forces.

    “That is why we turned against the government,” said air force major Rajib Feytouni.
    “That and the fact that there was an order to use planes to attack the people.”

    http://politeching.wordpress.com/2011/02/23/libyan-fought-with-hands-and-won-against-gadhafis-forces/

    According to Saudi-owned satellite channel, Al-Arabiya, last February four planes
    with mercenaries took off from Benin and landed to Benghazi in order to help Gaddafi.[10]

    Air Force Major Rajib Feytouni said he had personally witnessed
    4,000 to 5,000 mercenaries flown into his air force base on Libyan military transport planes
    since 14 February— several days before the uprising started.

    “They (the planes) had 300 men at a time, all of them coming out with weapons.

    They were all from Africa: Ghanaians, Kenyans,” he is quoted in the Guardian.

    "But then there were clashes with pro-government supporters and then after a bit the pro-government supporters dispersed and then the security services arrived and they dispersed the crowds with hot-water cannons."

    Footage purporting to show the unrest, with protesters fleeing gunfire and a man being shot, was later posted on the internet and used by the BBC and other news organisations.

    However, subsequent inquiries suggested this was footage originally uploaded more than a year ago.

  20. Overnight Tuesday, the oil-rich country's second city, Benghazi, was rocked by an explosion of protest rare in the 41 years of iron fisted rule by Muammar Gaddafi.

    Protesters and police clashed on several major streets,

    and about 150 demonstrators stormed into the streets on Wednesday
    demanding the release of jailed human-rights lawyer Fathi Terbil.

    "I'm really scared!" shouted one activist, Idris al-Mesmari, down the telephone to Al Jazeera Television, shortly before the police arrested him too. "They are using water cannons."
    Wednesday, Feb. 16, 2011
    http://content.time.com/time/world/article/0,8599,2049665,00.html



    Early Wednesday morning thousands of pro-Gaddafi demonstrators marched in Benghazi and the capital Tripoli, as well as smaller cities around Libya.

    http://content.time.com/time/world/article/0,8599,2049665,00.html


    the government announced that on Wednesday it would release from prison some of its most fervent opponents. About 110 Islamic militants were scheduled to be freed on Wednesday evening, some after decades in jail.

    They include about 40 members of the Libyan Islamic Fighting Group, or LIFG which a few years ago renounced violence and cut its allegiance to al-Qaeda, in a deal negotiated with Gaddafi's son Saif.

    Noman Binotman, a former leader and fighter of the LIFG, who helped negotiate the deal with Saif Gaddafi, told TIME on Wednesday that the timing of the prisoner release was coincidental rather than a response to the bubbling unrest.

    "The decision was taken three or four weeks ago," he said by phone from Tripoli.


    What the mainstream media did not report was that the backbone of the protest movement was comprised of numerous mercenaries from various groups, including al Qaeda,
    which were shipped in to Libya by the CIA in order to destablize the government and Libyan society. 

    The CIA funneled money and arms to these mercenaries
    and provided them with additional support and intel.

  21. Two days earlier, on 16 February, it was also reported that Islamist gunmen,
    with the help of a defecting army colonel,
    stormed an arms depot in Derna and seized 250 weapons
    and an assortment of 70 military vehicles.

    During the raid four soldiers were killed and 16 wounded.[15]

    By the end of 18 February, the only place that still housed a significant number of Gaddafi loyalists in Benghazi was the Katiba compound.

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q6-aVd4c6a4

    The group calls itself the “Islamic Emirate of Barqa” after the ancient name of a region of northwest Libya, and the official said its leadership is made up of former al-Qaeda fighters previously released from jail.

    The same group was also accused by Libyan officials of hanging two soldiers only days earlier.

    As Omar tells it: the day after he arrived at the base in al-Baida,
    a group of minibuses came
    to transport him and 70 others into town for a protest.

    This was a different 70 from the men he arrived with, Omar says;

  27. There was one brigade that was run by a family who had lost six martyrs. 
    These six were aged between twenty-two and twenty-five.  Two of them were brothers and the rest were cousins.

    You can imagine what happened when a family like this with a mentality of revenge was in charge of running a prison.

    They captured the people who killed their sons and you can imagine what they did.

    In cities across Libya, Islamist groups have proved more efficient at responding to the collapse of authority.
    While council members squabble for positions inside the courthouse, Islamist leaders escorted by followers with walkie-talkies emerge from their tents to mobilize the large crowds with sermons and open-air prayers in the square below.
    Mosques formerly required to close between prayer times are now open round the clock, and imams call for an armed jihad against Qaddafi in Friday sermons—where politics was previously banned.
    Salim Jaber, who heads the religious affairs office of the Benghazi council, has transferred responsibility for food distribution to Benghazi’s poor from the local markets to the mosques.

    Al Bayda’s main hospital on Feb. 17
    when they admitted two men – one black, the other with the local olive-skinned complexion –
    who stood accused of fighting the rebels.
    A crowd gathered outside the hospital, calling for blood. Some armed rebels pushed their way into the ward.

    “They had guns and knives,” said Mahmoud Anass, 27, a resident on duty that night.
    “It was really scary. They wanted to kill the black soldier.”

    Doctors managed to hold off the enraged youths until a few hours after midnight, when the rebels dragged the two patients into the street.

    Thousands of pro-Gadhafi loyalists spent the night camping in tents in the main sports stadium in Benghazi, said Mr. Alghazwani,of the opposition group.

    On 19 February, Government opponents assumed control over the Katiba premises in Benghazi, and also took control of the airport in Benghazi.

    At the beginning of the revolution, Abdulwanis, who comes from Benghazi, contributed to capturing Qadhafi allies as part of the al-Zawya Martyrs Brigade.

    He then worked to secure Benghazi’s airport under the banner of the Protective Forces of 17 February.

    who in reality arrived at benina airport 19 february ?

    19 February: I was told by an SNC Lavalin employee who had been at the airport arrivals gate that a plane load of African mercenaries had landed.

    We set up a survey instrument to get a closer look at what was happening around the airport terminal. I could see a large contingent of soldiers (+/- 200)
    in a defensive pattern around the west side of the runway.

    We didn’t know if these were mercenaries or Libyan government soldiers.

  37. I would travel to Malta, Italy, France and eventually North America.

    In early May I received a message from a friend in Jalu, Libya, saying they were being attacked by hundreds of Gaddafi soldiers.
    I had been following the Libya blog on Al Jazeera and out of desperation contacted a popular blogger to seek help for my friends in the desert.

    The guys would forward the GPS coordinates of the location of the Gaddafi soldiers and a description of the surrounding area, for example, “They are in Waha oil field in a grove of palm trees”.
    I would confirm the coordinates on Google Earth then forward them to my contact. This worked very well and continued well into July when the final attacks were repelled and peace was restored to the desert oasis.

    Two days earlier, on 16 February, it was also reported that Islamist gunmen, with the help
    of a defecting army colonel, stormed an arms depot in Derna and seized 250 weapons
    and an assortment of 70 military vehicles. During the raid four soldiers were killed and 16 wounded.[15] By the end of 18 February, the only place that still housed a significant number of Gaddafi loyalists in Benghazi was the Katiba compound.
    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/First_Battle_of_Benghazi

    The gunmen also took both civilians and Libyan soldiers as hostages
    in the nearby port city of Al-Baida,
    threatening to kill them unless the siege of that city was lifted by Libyan security forces.
    The same group was also accused by Libyan officials of hanging two soldiers only days earlier.

    Sheikh Choukri Al-Hasy, the director of the town’s principal mosque: the al-Sahaba mosque.
    As previously reported on PJM, according to captured al-Qaeda personnel records,
    Darnah furnished more foreign fighters to al-Qaeda in Iraq than any other foreign city or town
    Julien Fouchet’s report

    At Darna it is a day of great prayer today. "Remember that Qatar was the first country to come
    and help us," preaches Choukri el-Sheikh Hasy before several hundred faithful gathered under the banner of the revolution.
    This former prisoner directs the great mosque of the city for two years.


    As for the possible presence of Al-Qaida on the front, Sheikh brings up the question:
    "Gaddafi has enlisted Chadian mercenaries to kill his people, so we can bring what we want."

    That Al-Qaeda has understood: the first day of the revolution, a video of the terrorist organization showed four Jeeps loaded with weapons en route to Libya.

    When the Secretary General’s spokesman was asked specifically what the UN was doing about reports that Qaddafi was recruiting mercenaries from Nigeria, Guinea and Ghana,
    he replied that he was not aware of the UN looking into the matter.

    Why such neglect when the UN has in the past specifically focused
    its attention on the use of mercenaries by other countries?
    http://canadafreepress.com/index.php/article/33717

    The commission said that it found no evidence of “mercenary forces” employed by the Gadhafi government, a major accusation made by the NTC “rebels”
    and publicized broadly by the corporate media.
    At the same time no mention was made of the role of Egyptian and Qatari special forces, CIA and MI6 operatives who worked to overthrow the Libyan government
    and engaged in war crimes against the population.

  43. On Sunday, when soldiers in planes and armored vehicles arrived at an airport in Labrak, about 45 miles away, airport employees began calling men in neighboring cities to surround the facility to prevent them from attacking, said Jalal Abdullah, 41, a Derna resident.

    For three days, said Faraj Saad, a police officer who defected,
    more than 200 men -- who had armed themselves with weapons from police stations and army barracks they'd raided -- engaged in a firefight with the military that left scores of civilians and soldiers dead.

    Six men from Derna were among the dead.

    Some of the soldiers were captured and about 20 were held in a large room of the mosque for a few days before being moving to a location farther away, said Ashraf Sadaga, a member of the Prophet's Companions Committee, which oversees the area.
    The location is secret and the soldiers are being protected from the wrath of the city's residents, he said.raja.abdulrahim@latimes.com

    “I asked to speak to a senior officer at the compound whom I knew from before…
    I gave him my word and said: if your soldiers surrender, they will be safe.
    As the group of soldiers were coming out to surrender,
    the protesters were very angry and shot dead two soldiers… they were Libyans, not foreign mercenaries…

    I feel guilty because was it not for me, they may not have come out.”

    I was shot on my right thigh on the left side...We requested medical emergency because we were wounded and no one responded. We asked for water they refused and searched us.

    On Saturday 19 February afternoon, we were then moved from the hall
    and literally thrown into a truck after blindfolding us and whoever moved was hit.
    We were put on board a military airplane on the floor and we arrived to Tripoli at night.
    We could hear them say ‘this one is dead, this one is alive.’

    We landed in Mateigha airport and were taken to the military hospital there.
    There the doctors took the blindfold off and put me in a bed for half an hour then they took me into surgery

    but fighter jets have bombarded the civilian population and targeted villagers…”

    Certainly it is an ironic perspective: Malta at the time had refused a request by the Libyan government for the return of those defected jets, precisely because there was a danger that they might be used to kill civilians.

    Cassar however admits that this irony became evident only with hindsight.

    As Chossudovsky writes, “Hundreds of US, British and French military advisers arrived in Cyrenaica, Libya’s eastern breakaway province” on February 23 and 24— seven (7) days after the start of Gadhaffi’s domestic rebellion. “The advisers, including intelligence officers, were dropped from warships and missile boats at the coastal towns of Benghazi and Tobruk.” (DEBKAfile, US military advisers in Cyrenaica, Feb. 25, 2011)

    BERLIN – British and German military planes swooped into Libya's desert,

    rescuing hundreds of oil workers and civilians stranded at remote sites,
    as thousands of other foreigners are still stuck in Tripoli by bad weather and red tape.

    The secret military missions into the turbulent North Africa country signal the readiness of Western nations to disregard Libya's territorial integrity when it comes to the safety of their citizens.

    Three British Royal Air Force planes plucked 150 stranded civilians from multiple locations in the eastern Libyan desert before flying them to Malta on Sunday, the British Defense Ministry said in a statement. One of the RAF Hercules aircraft appeared to have suffered minor damage from small arms fire, Defence Secretary Liam Fox said.

    The rescue follows a similar secret commando raid Saturday by British Special Forces that got another 150 oil workers from the remote Libyan desert.

  63. On the outskirts, the committees have bolstered the guard at the city's only oil refinery, helping thwart what they believe was a plan by pro-Gaddafi thugs to attack the facility two days ago.

    They have also suspended oil exports, partly because the regime could try to bomb the refineries, they say, but also over fears that the revenue would end up in Col Gaddafi's pockets.

    24/02/2011 All southern oilfields are in rebel control. Moustafa Raba’a,
    a mechanical engineer with the Sirte oil company, said pressure had been put on field
    and refinery managers to stop work and protect all foreign nationals working with them.

    “The order was put out to send a message to Gaddafi to stop the slaying of our people in Benghazi. We made a decision to deny him the privilege of exporting oil and gas to Europe.” He said the blockade had prevented 80,000 barrels a day being exported from the Dregga field alone.


    The real objective of “Operation Libya” is not to establish democracy

    but to take possession of Libya's oil reserves, destabilize the National Oil Corporation (NOC) and eventually privatize the country's oil industry, namely transfer the control and ownership of Libya's oil wealth into foreign hands (…) The strategic scenario would be to push towards the formation and recognition of an interim government of the secessionist province, with a view to eventually breaking up the country…The broad strategic objectives underlying the proposed invasion are not mentioned by the media.

    Following a deceitful media campaign, where news was literally fabricated without reporting on what was actually happening on the ground, a large sector of international public opinion has granted its unbending support to foreign intervention, on humanitarian grounds.

In fact, you need to have recon units for these planes to operate correctly and kill the bad guys, not your friends.
