Libyan Revolution Tweets, Day 10, Part 3 (The Mother of all Intifadas continues)
Edited on Sat Feb-26-11 10:12 AM by Catherina
Libyan Revolution Tweets, Day 10, Part 3 (The Mother of all Intifadas continues)

Part 1, Part 2

"We have Plan A, Plan B, Plan C. Plan A is to live and die in Libya. Plan B is to live and die in Libya. Plan C is to live and die in Libya." - Saif Islam Qaddafi during interview

I called this Day 10 because the official kick off day was #Feb17 but the kickoff was 2 days early and today is in reality day 12.

Video evidence of clean ups: Gaddafi's men picking up dead bodies in #Tripoli

Previous Day 9 threads: Part 1, Part 2, Part 3, Part 4, Part 5, Part 6, Part 7, Part 8, Part 9, Part 10, Part 11, Part 12, , Part 14, Part 15

Previous Day 8 threads: Part 1, Part 2, Part 3, Part 4, Part 5, Part 6, Part 7, Part 8, Part 9, Part 10, http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=439x502125">Part 11

The world’s 100 largest arms dealers, excluding Chinese vendors, sold weapons for $401 billion in 2009, with US vendors remaining in first place

Threads for previous days are in my journal

To make sure the Army doesn't swing the revolution to the people, with the silent complicity of world leaders more concerned about the stability of oil prices than people's lives, Qaddafi has brought in more than 35,000 North African mercenaries specifically from Chad, Nigeria, Guinea and Darfur. There's a Facebook video of a captured mercenary from Chad (Youtube here). Captured mercenaries confessed they were paid between $12,000 - $30,000 each. Today pamphlet ads were found in Nigeria offering them $2000/day for their savage work.

Is Qaddafi the only one paying these mercenaries? Or are EU governments, with their long history of hiring mercenaries, chipping in? I demand to know.

I got a couple of their "over capacity" messages first, and after that I didn't get anything at all when I tried to get to the site.

METHODS OF URBAN GUERRILLA WARFARE

...

Facing and attacking a heavy armed enemy face on, with only a few hundred people, is mass suicide. Until tens of thousands can be mobilized to swamp them, it is better to attack from behind and sides.Urban guerrillas should avoid engaging enemy forces in prolonged open combat. Attack and quickly withdraw. Engagement in open combat is left to mass movement swamping the enemy with its hugely superior size.

What tactics?
1) ambushes, traps and sniper fire
2) assaults, raids and penetrations
3) Roadblocks,diversions, ruses, interception by other vehicles
4) Seizures, expropriation of weapons, ammunition and explosives
5) Sabotage, mines, bombs, cutting communications
6) Liberation of prisoners, kidnappings, executions

Ambush has especially devastating effects on the enemy, leaving him unnerved, insecure and fearful. Superior local knowledge of the terrain is a key advantage to be exploited to the full. Regular ambushes mean the capture of more and more weapons and military materials for distributing to people. One successful tactic in the Spanish Civil War was workers boarding trucks and driving them at full speed at the ranks of the fascist troops


The same is true of sniper fire, which can also hold a street, stop an advance as well or better than a tanks or artillery. The purpose of the ambush is to capture enemy weapons and to punish him with death. Traps such as enticing the enemy into a cul-de-sac and firing from all sides, can also be supplemented with mines in the road. A temporary roadblock or pincering pick-ups with two moving cars and fire power. Another way to trap is to feed the enemy with false information of an event at certain place to lure them there. Use of cover with buildings or other things is important.

Iran nuclear plant suffers setback
Tehran announces plans to remove fuel rods from Bushehr reactor while it carries out "technical work".
Last Modified: 26 Feb 2011 14:54 GMT


Iran's Bushehr plant has seen a number of setbacks in its more than three decade-long history

Iran has said it will remove fuel rods from its Russian-built Bushehr nuclear power plant, a move that is being seen as a major setback to the country's nuclear programme.

The decision, announced on Saturday, comes just months before the facility, which is located in the southern city of Bushehr, was scheduled to go into operation to generate electricity.

"Based on the recommendation of Russia, which is in charge of completing the Bushehr atomic power plant, the fuel inside the reactor core will be taken out for a while to conduct some experiments and technical work," Ali Asghar Soltanieh, Iran's envoy to the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), said.

...

Iran has given no reason for the unexpected fuel unloading, but there has been speculation that it could be connected with the Stuxnet computer worm that infected Iranian industrial software and facilities last year. in January, The New York Times reported that the computer worm was created by US and Israeli intelligence services to sabotage Iran's nuclear ambitions.

Gadhafi's Nurse Says She's Going Home

BY JAMES MARSON

KIEV, Ukraine— ...

Galyna Kolotnytska, described in a diplomatic cable published by Wikileaks as a "voluptuous blond" who "travels everywhere" with Col. Gadhafi, called her family in Kiev on Friday to say she intends to return to Ukraine, her daughter told daily Segodnya.

"Mom got in touch yesterday. She said she was now in Tripoli," Tetyana Kolotnytska said. "She spoke in a calm voice, asked us not to worry and said she'd soon be home."

According to the cable from September 2009, contacts in Tripoli told U.S. diplomats that Col. Gadhafi "relies heavily" on Ms. Kolotnytska, then 38, as "she alone 'knows his routine.'"

...

"Other Ukrainian women also work for him as nurses. Mom is one of them," she said. "For some reason, he doesn't trust Libyan women with this matter."

Army apologizes for 'unintentional confrontations' with Friday protesters
Arabic Edition
AFP
Sat, 26/02/2011 - 12:29



On its official Facebook page, the Supreme Council of the Armed Forces issued an apology to the 25 January youth for what it described as "unintentional friction" between military police members and youth protesting on Friday.

The council affirmed it is keen on achieving the noble goals of the revolution, adding that no orders were or will be given to attack Egyptians. All necessary procedures will be adopted to avoid the repetition of such clashes, the message said, without giving further details.

In a second statement, the army said it would "immediately release all the youth of the January 25 revolution that were detained in Tahrir Square (on Friday)", but did not say how many there were.

In response to the use of force to disperse Friday's protests calling for the removal of Prime Minister Ahmed Shafiq's government, hundreds of Facebook activists called for a protest today in Tahrir against using force on peaceful protesters.

Suit Claims FBI Told Mosque Informant To Get Dirt On Sex Lives, Drug Use Of Worshipers

Ryan J. Reilly and Melissa Jeltsen | February 24, 2011, 10:57A

The FBI allegedly told an informant who infiltrated a California mosque to dig up dirt on the immigration status, sexual activities, business problems and drug use of members of the community. A discrimination lawsuit filed against the Bureau this week charges that they hoped to use the information to convince those members to become FBI informants.

Craig Monteilh, whose aggressive tactics as an informant in 2006 led worshipers at the Islamic Center of Irvine to file a restraining order against him, is now cooperating with the plaintiffs in a lawsuit that accuses FBI agents of violating the constitutional rights of hundreds of Muslims.

The lawsuit, filed by the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) and the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) on behalf of three Muslim plaintiffs, claims that the FBI violated the constitutional rights of Muslims by targeting them indiscriminately because of their religion. It requests unspecified damages and a court order to return or destroy all the information that Monteilh gathered.

...

The lawsuit says FBI Special Agent Kevin Armstrong and FBI Special Agent Paul Allen talked with Monteilh about obtaining dirt on members of the Muslim community -- "immigration issues, sexual activity, business problems, or crimes like drug use" -- that could be used to convince them to become informants.

Erdogan speaks out against UN sanctions on Libya
By ASSOCIATED PRESS
02/26/2011 16:52

"Int'l community acting out of concern about Tripoli's oil reserves and not its people," Turkish PM says as UNSC mull using sanctions to punish Gaddafi, his family and his cohorts.

Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan has spoken out against the United Nations imposing sanctions on Libya, warning that the Libyan people would suffer most, not Muammar Gaddafi's regime.

Erdogan also suggested Saturday that the international community was acting out of concern about Libya's oil reserves and not its people.

Erdogan spoke hours before UN Security Council members were to meet again to discuss ways to punish the Libyan leader for his violent attacks on anti-government protesters.

The Italian news agency AGI reports that Qaddafi's son Seif al-Islam is staying on message. Speaking of the reports of the killing of demonstrators, he said Saturday: "Soon you will discover that what you have heard about Libya is only a joke. A big joke. Here we laugh about the news speaking of hundreds or thousands of victims, bombings in Tripoli, Benghazi, Zawiya or any other place, and of mercenaries."

It increasingly appears that all of the country save Tripoli, the capital, is in the hands of the protesters.

This update from Al Jazeera includes video of Seif al-Islam in denial mode, as well as footage said to show Libyan army soldiers joyously joining demonstrators. It also includes some bloody scenes from Friday of protesters being fired upon.
