Mercenaries Hired by Gaddafi to Attack Demonstrators Killed in Libya

Heavy weapons, including anti-aircraft missiles, are being used to murder scores of pro-democracy campaigners in Colonel Gaddafi's Libya with the death toll already "well into three figures", it has emerged.

"Tanks and helicopter gunships full of foreign mercenaries are fighting gangs of demonstrators. At least one dead man had been hit by an anti-aircraft missile, while other bodies are riddled with heavy machine gun fire."

Fighting has also broken out in the cities of Al-Bayda, Ajdabiya, Zawiya, and Darnah, with eye-witnesses reporting Molotov cocktails, rifles and even antique Arabic sabres being used by demonstrators.

There were also reports of bystanders, including women and children, leaping to their deaths from high bridges as they tried to escape battle-hardened mercenaries from neighbouring countries like Chad.

"Tanks are being used in Benghazi, but there are already soldiers joining the demonstrators. They are on the side of the people." While low-paid Libyan army recruits are always likely to desert, the dictator's third son, Saadi Gaddafi, was said to be coordinating African mercenaries to act as shock troops against the protesters.

A Libyan journalist who is currently banned from writing about the trouble because of a news black-out imposed by Gaddafi said: "Some of these mercenary shock troops have been killed or captured, and some of them are said to on the equivalent of around 500 dollars a day.

"These killers are coming from countries like Chad. They're vicious killers.

People are so terrified of them that they've been doing everything possible to get away."

Women and children were seen jumping off the Giuliana Bridge in Benghazi to get away.

Many of them were killed by the impact of hitting the water, while others were drowned.

Many of the mercenaries did not speak Arabic but only French, making them impossible to reason with.

They don't ask questions - they just shoot live ammunition.
Innocent people are getting caught up in all this. They are being killed for simply staying at home.

And we supply these people with weapons

[Parannoyed]

how the fuck can they get away with shooting and killing unarmed people who are just protesting?

Because in the UN vote, China and France will say no to any action by the UN.

I think we need to pull all support from the M.E. and let them figure out things on their own. (Oh, but what about the oil!)

Wrong. In fact, France through the voice of his President, Nicholas Sarkozy has called for Colonel Khadafi to step down.

But China could veto any resolution, since he is an ally of Libya and will come with the claim that We cannot interfere with any internal affair of a country which is totally moral.

Also there are news that An Islamic Emirate has already been established in East Libya.
