Dat was Radio Noordzee, de concurrent van Veronica.

Gaaf dat die nu door Benghazi Free Radio wordt gebruikt!

In Libië duurt de impasse voort. De opstandelingen weten de steden in oosten stevig in handen, maar doorstoten naar het westen richting de hoofdstad Tripoli lijkt er voorlopig niet in te zitten. Verslaggever Lex Runderkamp in het oosten van Libië.

Oil Sales
The rebels were preparing to make their first international oil sale as the tanker Equator, which can carry 1 million barrels, departed the Marsa al Hariga terminal near the port of Tobruk in rebel-held eastern Libya, according to ship-tracking data compiled by Bloomberg.

The Equator arrived April 5 and is now signaling Singapore as its destination, the data show. The cargo may bring more than $100 million for the rebels. The rebels' national council said April 1 that it had reached a deal to have Qatar help market Libyan oil, with proceeds going toward food, fuel, medicine and other items.

"The vessel loaded, the intended destination is Singapore," a shipping source said. "It will probably end up in China."

Tripoli, Libya (CNN) -- Eman al-Obeidy, the woman who says forces loyal to Libyan leader Moammar Gadhafi raped her, is grateful for support she has received, said CNN's Nic Robertson, who met briefly with her Wednesday.

"She is a very strong lady who told me to thank all (the) people who have stopped her case from disappearing," Robertson said. Al-Obeidy said she had a message for humanitarian organizations: They should come to Tripoli and "see how life is here," he said.

She said she is still recovering physically from the alleged assault and displayed faded bruises and rope burn marks on her wrists, Robertson said. But, she told him, she is unable to leave Tripoli and be reunited with her family and faces abuse whenever she leaves her house, he said.

The Libyan government is insisting on a review of the interview by a government representative before transmission. The review was scheduled Wednesday night, but an apparently imminent airstrike postponed the review until Thursday morning. Verder.

Recep Tayyip Erdogan urges Gaddafi forces to withdraw from cities, and calls for comprehensive democratic change

Turkey's prime minister, Recep Tayyip Erdogan, has proposed a roadmap for peace in Libya, urging forces aligned with Muammar Gaddafi to withdraw from besieged cities, and calling for the establishment of humanitarian aid corridors and comprehensive democratic change.

Erdogan said the measures would be discussed at a meeting by a group set up to guide the international intervention in Libya in Qatar next week.

Turkey has held talks this week with envoys from Gaddafi's government and representatives of the Libyan opposition.

Erdogan also assured the opposition that Turkey supports their demands, following recent protests in Libya against Turkey by some opposition members.

Turkey initially balked at the idea of military action in Libya, but is now taking part in the enforcement of a no-fly zone to shield civilians. It has also volunteered to lead humanitarian aid efforts.

Britain's Foreign Office said the contact group that will meet in Qatar – which includes European powers, US allies in the Middle East and a number of international organisations – will meet in Doha on Wednesday.

The ministry could not confirm precisely who has been invited to attend. British government officials said the US would be represented, and that the Arab League is also expected to be at the talks.

Britain's foreign secretary, William Hague, said last week that he planned to travel to the talks alongside about a dozen other Arab, European and international officials.

The group was established during a summit in London last week to act as the political guide to the Nato-led military operation and humanitarian assistance mission in Libya.

Hague told parliament last week that the panel would "maintain international unity and bring together a wide range of nations in support of a better future for Libya."

Gaddafi has been widely excluded from international efforts to broker a peace plan, with rebels insisting that his four-decade rule must end.

In Scotland, prosecutors confirmed that they would not have a chance Thursday to interview Moussa Koussa, the ex-Libyan foreign minister who fled to Britain via Tunisia last week and has spent eight days in discussions with diplomats and intelligence officials.

Prosecutors said on Monday they hoped to speak with Koussa within days over the 1988 bombing of Pan Am Flight 103 over Lockerbie, which killed 270 people.

In 2003, Libya acknowledged responsibility for the bombing and Scottish authorities believe Koussa could offer vital information to their ongoing inquiry.

Another former Gaddafi loyalist, former energy minister Omar Fathi bin Shatwan, has also held talks with British and other European diplomats to discuss the state of Gaddafi's regime. He told the Associated Press on Wednesday that he had fled to Malta on a fishing vessel.
