Ik dacht precies dit toen ik het zag op AJEquote:
De staats tv heeft wel humor
1341: Libyan state TV has an original take on the march in London against government spending cuts. A screen caption reads: "Tens of thousands of British citizens out in mass protests now in front of the British House of Commons condemning the colonialist, crusader aggression against the Libyan Great Jamahiriyah."
Een staatshoofd die met aanslagen op burgerdoelen dreigt is een terrorist. En dus een legitiem doel in de war on terror.quote:Op zaterdag 26 maart 2011 14:49 schreef remlof het volgende:

Libyan rebels regain key city after airstrikes
By RYAN LUCAS and BEN HUBBARD , 03.26.11, 09:32 AM EDT
AJDABIYA, Libya -- Libyan rebels regained control of the eastern gateway city of Ajdabiya on Saturday after international airstrikes crippled Moammar Gadhafi's forces, in the first major turnaround for an uprising that a week ago appeared on the verge of defeat. In a western city the opposition lost to Gadhafi, a resident said security agents had lists of rebel sympathizers and were dragging them from their homes.
Drivers honked in celebration and flew the tricolor rebel flag. Others in the city fired their guns into the air and danced on burned-out tanks that littered the road. Inside a building that had served as makeshift barracks for pro-Gadhafi forces, hastily discarded uniforms were piled on the floor.
"Without the planes we couldn't have done this. Gadhafi's weapons are at a different level than ours," said Ahmed Faraj, 38, a rebel fighter from Ajdabiya. "With the help of the planes we are going to push onward to Tripoli, God willing."
Ajdabiya's sudden fall to Gadhafi's troops spurred the swift U.N. resolution authorizing international action in Libya, and its return to rebel hands on Saturday came after a week of airstrikes and missiles against the Libyan leader's military.
Saif Sadawi, a 20-year-old rebel fighter with an RPG in his hands, said the city's eastern gate fell late Friday and the western gate fell at dawn Saturday after airstrikes on both locations.
"All of Ajdabiya is free," he said.

Ben bang dat ze haar niet alleen in een cel gaan zetten.

As reporters, including Channel 4 News Foreign Affairs Correspondent Jonathan Miller, gathered to hear her story, security guards grabbed the woman, bundled her into a car and drove her away following a brawl.
Jonathan Miller said: "I personally saw a waiter and a waitress raise a knife to try to stop this woman talking.
"They accussed her of being a traitor and betraying the Gaddafi regime."
The woman, Eman al-Obaidi, said she was arrested at a checkpoint in Tripoli because she is from the city of Benghazi, the bastion of a rebel insurgency against Gaddafi's rule.
"They swore at me and they filmed me. I was alone. There was whiskey. I was tied up," she said, weeping and stretching out her arms to show scars.
Her face was heavily bruised and her upper right thigh had blood on it. "They peed on me. They violated my honour," said Obaid.
Obaidi, wearing a loose black coat and slippers, said she had been raped by 15 men and held for two days at the checkpoint.
Her story could not be independently verified. It was unclear whether she had escaped or had been released.
Obaidi was eventually forced into a garden outside the hotel. Journalists trying to get to her were pushed away.
"Leave me alone," she shouted from the garden as one man tried to cover her mouth with his hand.
She was then dragged to a parking lot and bundled into a white car. Security men said they were taking her to hospital.
"They are taking me to jail," she yelled, trying to resist the security guards. "They are taking me to jail."

quote:De Libische staatstelevisie meldt dat duizenden Britten voor het parlementsgebouw in Londen demonstreren tegen de "koloniale agressie van de kruisvaarders tegen Libië".
Het door het regime gecontroleerde medium toonde geen beelden van die demonstratie, alleen een tekst in het Engels.
Er is op dit moment inderdaad een massale manifestatie in de Britse hoofdstad. Maar: de naar schatting 200.000 betogers demonstreren tegen Britse bezuinigingsplannen, niet tegen de militaire acties in Libië.

In the past hour allied war planes have hit Gaddafi targets in the opposition-held town of Misurata. Pro-democracy fighters now say they have moved past Brega further to the west. And that they are heading towards Ras Lanuf - another oil-rich town.
Al Jazeera's James Bays says celebrations by the rebels in Ajdabiya, where he is reporting from, are continuing after the town was retaken by the rebels. Gunfire could he heard from background as he spokes and referred to it as "fresh celebrations".
But he added that it is unclear whether the rebels' victory was planned.
The opposition fighters have come along the main road, hit the roadblock of Gaddafi's forces and that was a stalemate ... It was only when those airstrikes [of coalition forces] took place that the situation changed.
It [town] was recaptured because of what came from the skies. It was here- at the west gate in Ajdabiya - that Gaddafi forces made their last stand ... There was bombardment from international jets; international coalition ... People here are celebrating. The people are firing in celebration rather than anger. Most people had fled Ajdabiya during the fighting, but some had hidden in their homes but now they [are] joining the celebrations.

De vrouw , Eman al-Obaidi en komt uit Benghazi .
Zou het de vrouw zijn van deze man ?
Dr. Habib al-Obaidi, chief of intensive care at the Al-Jalae hospital in Benghazi, Libya has stated that fifty trauma patients have died of gunshot wounds after the authorities reportedly fired on protestors.
