33. some very, very critical news from the central region >>>>

iyad_elbaghdadi Iyad El-Baghdadi
Getting some very, very critical news from the central region. Trying to confirm now.

We reported early (first or second day of the revolution) that #Gaddafi distributed weapons in Sirt, saying "you'll need them soon".

We also reported that elements of the Furjan tribe have joined the revolution, esp. in Tarhuna.

For a little background, the Furjan tribe have a presence in Tarhuna, Sirt, and Ajdabia.

It seems that today in Ras Lanuf's action, some Furjan soldiers under #Gaddafi refused to comply.

When revolutionaries entered the Ras Lanuf army camp, they found 20+ bodies of soldiers with their hands tied behind their back.

It appears now that these were soldiers who refused to comply, many of them Furjan.

It's also revealed that in Sirt, #Gaddafi did not in fact distribute weapons to the entire population, not even to his entire tribe.

It appears he only distributed weapons to his own branch of the #Gaddafi's, showing he doesn't even trust his own tribe entirely. #Libya

Will continue if he does.
