Gaddafi Vs Protesters Updated Libya

Air strikes continue in Ras lanuf on protesters as President Gaddafi declares them as foreigners. While talking on National Television, Libyan President Gaddafi blamed the unrest was because of the western countries. He said that Afghans, Algerians, Egyptians and Palestinians are the ones protesting in the country and they are enticing the youth and giving them weapons. The western media reported that the Libyan army is using power against the protesters mercilessly. The army has bombarded the oil rich city of Ras Lanuf several times and after an aggressive strategy by the army, they have recaptured the city of Bin Jawaad from the protesters. On the other hand, the protesters are still retaliating against the army. They can be seen firing at the air-crafts with heavy machine guns. An Arab league meeting has been called keeping in view the worsening situation in Libya. The meeting on Friday will discuss the actions being taken by the Libyan President Muammar Gaddafi. Major-General Abdel Rahman Ben Ali al-Sayyid al-Zawy, was on board the plane that came from Tripoli. A Libyan plane carrying the head of the Libyan Authority for Supply and Logistics having a message from Muammar Gaddafi has landed in Cairo airport on Wednesday. Airport officials, citing a Libyan diplomat who met the general, said that he was carrying a message from Gaddafi to the military council running Egypt. No one at Egypt s military council was immediately available to comment. The cabinet adjourned its meeting for an emergency session with the Supreme Council of the Armed Forces without providing further details.
