Libya: Reports Of Mutinies Within Government Ranks

This website recently set up by someone sympathetic to the Libyan insurgents--no way of judging its veracity, however.

News has reached us via email that a security battalion commander in az Zawiya was killed by a soldier in the battalion. Soldiers refused orders to shoot and the commander was determined on the implementation of the orders of Khoweildy. One of the solders stepped forwards and rendered him dead with a bullet to the head. The soldier then said: It’s better that you die rather than the victims be tens of youth.

Again, no way of knowing the truth of the tale.

However, when a country ends up with 40+ years of dictatorial rule, sooner or later, it blows sky-high.

And then the darkness descends...

Just a note for future political leadership, when they decide to get in bed with characters like Gadafi, or Mubarak, or the Iranians, or the House of Saud.
