| [Libya Herald] Heavy festivities continued overnight in central Benghazi's Sabri district as well as in Hawari in the south and Leithi in the south east of the city. "Do you have fire missions for us, sir?" Random mortars also continue to fall in residential areas. "Shoot over that way!" Yesterday, a missile hit protestors in Kish Square, killing at least one man, named Ali Khalifa Al-Soei and wounding several others. Another local resident, 15-year-old Anwar Mohammed Elabbar Abdulokel, was killed in random shelling in the area. Altogether 19 people were maimed in shelling, again mainly random, in Kish and taken to either Jalaa Hospital or the Benghazi Medical Centre, itself again hit by a missile during the week. "We hit something! We hit something!" The attack in Kish Square has been blamed on the Benghazi Revolutionaries' Shoura Council (BRSC). It is unclear if that particular shelling was random or intentional. "What'dja hit?" Jalaa Hospital, where most of the injured were taken, is under even greater pressure following the mass resignation of some 18 foreign staff because of security fears coupled with failure of a promised pay rise to materialise. "I dunno. You got my money yet?" Meanwhile there are unconfirmed reports that a Jihadi holy man from Soddy Arabia ...a kingdom taking up the bulk of the Arabian peninsula. Its primary economic activity involves exporting oil and soaking Islamic rubes on the annual hajj pilgrimage. The country supports a large number of princes in whatcha might call princely splendor. When the oil runs out the rest of the world is going to kick sand in the Soddy national face... , named as Abu A'amir al-Jazrawy, operating with the BRSC, was killed yesterday in Sabri. |

| #1 Mortar shells aren't cheap - how is it these fighters have so much money they can afford to just launch them randomly? |
