The first act of international diplomacy of the new regime in Tripoli? Declare that granting refuge to Gaddafi’s family is, quote, an “act of aggression”. A spokesman for the new regime, Mahmoud Shamman, told Reuters. “We are warning anybody not to shelter Gadhafi and his sons. We are going after them … to find them and arrest them.” Sure sounds like a threat to me.
I take refuge in Allah from the stoned devil. In The Name of Allah, The Compassionate, The Most Merciful. Peace be upon our Master and Prophet – the Seal of prophets – Abi Al Qassem Mohammad and on his chaste and pure Household, his chosen companions and on all prophets and messengers.Allah Al Mighty says in the Qoran: “So when the second of the warnings came to pass, (we permitted
In the meantime, the EU is investigating the other “democratic” US/NATO ally in the Mediterranean region: the KLA and its leader, Hashim Thaci for, of all things, Israeli-style organ trafficking. Just like the Israelis harvested organs from their Palestinian victims, the Kosovo Albanians harvested organs from their Serbian victims. The report was based on a two-year investigation led by special rapporteur Dick Marty, and it named Mr Thaci – who
Dear friends, What Col. Gaddafi had been saying from day 1, and what all too many observers have dismissed, now turns out to have been true: al-Qaeda elements appear to be in charge of the anti-Gaddafi insurgency. Furthermore, there is also a strong probability that Gaddafi and these Wahabis have struck some kind of deal allowing Gaddafi to flee from Tripoli. Check these last three posts for details: http://10.16.86.131/an-interesting-theory-about-that-took-place-in-bab-al-azizia/ http://10.16.86.131/al-qaeda-asset-leading-rebels-in-tripoli/
By Pepe Escobar for the Asia Times online His name is Abdelhakim Belhaj. Some in the Middle East might have, but few in the West and across the world would have heard of him. Time to catch up. Because the story of how an al-Qaeda asset turned out to be the top Libyan military commander in still war-torn Tripoli is bound to shatter – once again – that wilderness of
Fabri Malek, spokesperson of the Libyan Democratic Party, went on the Iranian Press TV channel and presented an interesting theory about what actually happened in Bab al-Azizia: Malek: It is all over for Gaddafi, there is no doubt about that. What happened is a result of a deal [that] Gaddafi cut with the fundamentalists, with the Islamists, about three weeks ago and Seif al-Islam was telling us about it that
Well, its not like I ever doubted that Muammar Gaddafi was crazy, so this is not big news to me. And, frankly, its too long and too discombobulated to publish in its entirety here, but here is the link to the “letter to the world” from the “Leader of the Green Committees Movement” (sic). You can read it here: http://www.mathaba.net/news/?x=628250 should that site be taken down by some over-zealous NATO
According to the Sydney Morning Herald (dunno how reliable this paper is), UK SAS teams are leading a hunt to capture Gaddafi and a 1.6 million dollar bounty has been put on his head. According to NPR (aka “Neocon Public Radio” – reliability: zero), an “international effort” (nice euphemism for “intervention”) is underway to capture Gaddafi, and the bounty is at 2 million dollars. I can only suppose that they
The Shanghai Daily reports: Iran’s Ambassador to Russia Seyyed Mahmoud Reza Sajjadi said Iran has filed a lawsuit against Russia at the International Court of Justice over Moscow’s refusal to ship S-300 air defense systems to Tehran, the local satellite Press TV reported on Thursday. “Legally, we believe the shipment of S-300 system is not subject to the UN Security Council resolution so we filed our lawsuit, hoping the International
by Franklin Lamb for CounterPunch This observer’s tentative appraisal of Tuesday’s events along the north Tripoli port area as of late afternoon 8/23/11 is that the “65,000 well trained and well-armed troops” hyped Sunday by the Gaddafi government don’t in fact exist and that the pockets of government troops here in Tripoli and across Libya that do, will continue to resist what it views as NATO aggression designed to usurp
Okay, maybe al-Jazeera is too biased against the Gaddafi regime to credibly report facts on the ground. But this time the information is also confirmed by Russian and Iranian sources (nevermind the entire Western press corps): the Gaddafi compound in Tripoli has been taken and pro-Gaddafi forces appear to be on the retreat. Whatever the possible tactical moves, there is exactly zero evidence that Saif al-Islam’s boasting about ‘having lured
Comment: I have no idea of what is really going on in Tripoli or the rest of Libya. The only thing which is clear is that NATO and its local puppets are lying through their teeth about the reality of the situation. It might well be that tomorrow I will wake up to hear about the complete triumph of the anti-Gaddafi forces. But if what Saif al-Islam says is true,
by Gilad Atzmon I have been monitoring the Hebrew press for the last three days and it is increasingly obvious to me and others, that no one out there, including Israeli top analysts, understands where the current escalation is leading. However, a few things are becoming clear: 1. The so-called ‘Jewish spring’, known also as the Israeli ‘tents protest’, has been easily dismantled. The Israelis seems to be far more
Ladies and dear sisters! Peace be upon you and Allah’s mercy and blessings.I thank you all for your presence on this occasion on the holy Month of Ramadan in which the Women’s Branch in the Islamic Resistance Support Association in Lebanon gathers us. I extend my regards to all the presence in the six different places: in Beirut in Sayyeda Khadeja Charity, Baalbeck, Saida, Tyr, Nabatiyeh and Tiri. We ask
I recently had to drive to my local airport to pick up my son who was returning from a trip to Argentina and this provided me with the interesting “opportunity” to try out for myself the “enhanced pat-down” TSA experience. I want to share this experience with you. Luckily, on that day my wife had come with me, so I could leave with her the two “prohibited items” I always
So goes one of the fundamental laws of physics. In the face of recent “actions” in the West — economic crisis and rampant Islamophobia, there is an inexorable “reaction”, as the eternal values of Islam continue to manifest themselves, notes Eric Walberg Ramadan exemplifies the powerful spiritual calling of Islam. Dry fasting is more a test of the spirit, the will, proof of devotion, than just some health gimmick.
I wanted to write a long article for a while already, but I just don’t have the time. So I will pass on a few things I want to share with you, in no particular order, bullet-style presentation. Ubuntu is undergoing a serious crisis from which it is unlikely to recover. Without going into many details, let’s just say that Mark Shuttleworth has openly stated that the Unity, the default
