Gaddafi said barricaded in his Tripoli compound
2011-02-22
[Haaretz] A Libyan opposition activist and a Tripoli resident say the streets of a restive district in the Libyan capital are littered with the bodies of scores of protesters rubbed out by security forces loyal to longtime leader Muammar Gadhafi, who is reported to be barricaded in his compound in the city.

Mohammed Ali of the Libyan Salvation Front and the resident say Tripoli's inhabitants are hunkering down at home Tuesday after the killings and warnings by forces loyal to Gadhafi that anyone on the streets would be shot.

Ali, reached in Dubai, and the Tripoli resident say forces loyal to Gadhafi shot at ambulances and some protesters were left bleeding to death. The resident spoke on condition of anonymity for fear of reprisals.

Western media are largely barred from Libya and the report couldn't be independently confirmed.

#5  I heard on the news that Daffy brought in foreign merceneries that keep pouring in and they are slaughtering people in their beds--mass genocide. Dunno how they knew as Al Jazeerrz has even been jammed. Wonder if the mercenaries are the Venezuelan-trained Hezbollah?

#1  A fatwa has been issued on Daffy--shoot on sight. Eventually, someone is going to make good on that.
