Tripoli. (Writing and Agencies) .- The situation on Monday in Tripoli is of maximum tension, with bodies lying in the streets and gunfire continued to be heard in several neighborhoods of the city, including heavy artillery shells, according to the agency Efe found and noted residents of several areas of the capital.
According to Al Jazeera, the origin of the blasts would be the aerial bombardment that are undergoing the protesters by the country's air force, and it has caused, according to the same chain, 250 dead. At night, the son of Gaddafi, Saif al Islam, has denied on state television that the bombing has been directed at civilians but the target aircraft ammunition dumps have been located in remote areas.
"The Air Force mission is to protect the country and not shoot the people," added the son of Gaddafi. Although this release, Al Jazeera has also ensured that in addition, the cities of Misurata and Az Zawaziya have suffered air strikes. The Qatari television channel reported that two military planes have returned to the air base in Benghazi because its pilots refused to bomb refused to attack this town, the second largest in the North African country.
Asked if the bombing continued, a witness quoted by the chain has confirmed it is. "Go on, anyone who moves, even if they are in your car, you are attacked," he explained. "Our people are dying, this is the scorched earth policy," he complained, saying "bomb every 20 minutes." No osbtante, the Libyan newspaper Quryna ensures that the shots have caused a massacre in Tripoli come from elite forces and mercenary groups on the ground and the flight of fighter aircraft had only an intimidating way.
Al Arabiya, on the other hand, assumes that there was an air raid, but the number who died in 160. In any case, the tragedy that plagues Libya has attracted the attention of its own delegation to the UN, which has called for international action against what it considers a "genocide." At the same time, most of the imams of the mosques in Libya rejected a speech they had prepared the Libyan leader, Muammar Gaddafi, and have called for people to take to the streets to fight against the regime, as reported by various sources and witnesses who attended prayers at the temples.
In the capital have heard gunshots in different neighborhoods and especially in the wealthy residential district of Ben Achur, where last night "has been hell," according to a resident of the downtown district to work for a large international organization. "The whole neighborhood was without electricity and shots were heard incessantly on the street everywhere," said the source.
From a residential area just 9 kilometers from the center of Tripoli, several shots were heard artillery mortar, as inhabitants of the area where his mansion is a son of Gadhafi and several of the directors of power. Around the home of the son of Gaddafi and senior advisor to the regime the movement of vehicles laden with packages was relentless all night and continued today, said the neighbors.
In Tripoli run like wildfire rumors that Gaddafi and all their children have fled the country, like others on the death of a senior advisor and right hand of the leader. In Gargle Avenue, the main center of Tripoli, the shooting was also heard constantly, like in the neighborhood of Garabuli, also in the city center.
A worker at an oil company that was banished today claimed to have seen way to the airport "several bodies lying in the streets", a version that was confirmed by other inhabitants of the capital. Tripoli airport is practically collapsed, with hundreds of people, foreign and Libyan, who try to find a flight to leave the country, although many succeed.
According to diplomatic sources in the Libyan capital, tonight may be crucial in the development of events. Ban Ki-moon is outraged by the attacks on protesters The UN secretary general, Ban Ki-moon said he was "outraged" at reports of shots fired on protesters in Libya.
