| [Tolo News] The allied air strikes on Libya continued for the fifth night, with reports of military and civilian casualties. Canada has newly started taking part in the air strikes. The Libyan government forces have reportedly been able to contiue their attacks on Misrata despite the air attacks by the allies. Yesterday, the British commander of air attacks over Libya claimed that Col Qadaffy's air force was no longer able to function as a fighting force. A lound kaboom has also been heard in the capital Tripoli on Thursday. While the state TV has shown pictures of civilians killed in the air strikes, the allies claim there have been no reports of any civilian casualties. Libyan government have taken some journalists to a hospital in Tripoli to show bodies of a number of military and civilians killed in the strikes. The US has said a no-fly zone has been establish over much of the coastal areas. The bombardments so far are said not to have deterred President Qadaffy's forces from continuing their ground operations. Though much focus is now put on Libya, the situation in some other Arab countries are also tense. |

| #1 The kinetic "no fly zone" continues. I'm anxiously awaiting the Jane Fonda on a Libyan AAA battery pic. Brought those North Vietnamese to their bloody knees we did. |
