2 libyan coronels have landed their jetfighters in Malta because they were given the order to bomb the protesters.
There are reports coming from Libya that the air force is bombing civilians.
British Foreign Secretary, William Hague said he has seen information which suggests that the Libyan leader Colonel Gaddafi may now be on his way to Venezuela.

Just listening to this on BBC Radio. Sounds beyond brutal. Protesters and loyalists alike are getting bombed and fired upon indiscriminately. All media and internet shut down by the government.

Why is this being covered differently than Egypt?
if people are being fired upon for simply protesting why isn't this on every channel?- 'cause they're blocking communicationsbetelgeuse

I like (sarcasm) CNN's assertion that all this revolution could spell the end of Al Qaeda because their motivation thrives on "the political, economic, and cultural stagnation" of the Middle East region.
http://www.cnn.com/2011/WORLD/me…
"The political, economic, and cultural stagnation that al Qaeda fed off for more than two decades has been replaced by the fastest moving change the region has ever witnessed, the most promising of Arab Springs."
"If you have freedom, al Qaeda will go away," said Osama Rushdi, a former Egyptian jihadist.
Funny, I never once thought that Al Qaeda existed largely to rebel against dictatorships in the Middle East. This article pretty much seems to state the opposite of what the reality is about them. For example, Iraq is in a state of attempting democracy, attempting to give people freedom, and that's what Al Qaeda don't won't. Right? My impression has always been that they are trying to prevent democracy and freedom and that they are trying to uphold many very strict Islamic laws. Beyond that, I really thought they existed solely to destroy America and anything related to it.

- I'm always baffled by this vanity, this belief that jealousy of America, or "freedom", would be what caused- and drives extreme fundamentalists.Peter

I would suspect that many of those attracted to Al Qaeda from across the Islamic sphere being drawn back to their home countries to fight jihad there for, what is to them, suddenly a more pertinent and suddenly achievable aims.
