When you just turned a week since the beginning of the operation 'Dawn Odyssey', which aims to protect its own civilians Libyan leader, Colonel Muammar Gaddafi has suffered a major blow. Has been twofold. First, from the military point of view: in the afternoon of Saturday, his loyalist forces lost control of one of the key cities of the country, Ajdabiya, about 160 kilometers from Tripoli.
The liberation of the city under the control of troops loyal to Colonel Qaddafi for almost two weeks, occurred after the coalition bombing in the area. In addition, French warplanes destroyed five Libyan military aircraft and two helicopters were at the airbase Misrata, said Thierry Burkhard, a spokesman for the French armed forces also have said the rebels have also retaken Brega, a major oil enclave.
As reported by Al Jazeera, the rebels are now heading west towards the city of Uqayl. Furthermore, Qaddafi has received another blow in its international image. The cries of a Libyan woman, Iman al-Obeidi, who claimed to have been raped and assaulted by a faction to defend against Gaddafi have reverberated through the world.
The video that looks at the alleged 'thugs' the colonel trying to silence her has been around the world. And although some people aware that anything can be a political maneuver to justify military action in the country, the truth is that most appreciate not only the evidence that it is necessary to protect its Libyan dictator.
In addition, Secretary of Defense Robert Gates, has another warning: The U.S. intelligence reports suggest that the forces of the Libyan leader had placed the bodies of people killed themselves in places where there have been air strikes coalition to blame the West for the deaths. In a preview of an interview on the CBS News television channel, Gates said they have "many intelligence reports that Gaddafi has the bodies of people killed and put them in places where we attack." The interview will air on Sunday.
In Libya, the coalition attacks have been in the night from Saturday to Sunday "full intensity", as reported by a spokesman for the regime of Muammar Gaddafi. In particular, M. Ibrahim has said that there has been shelling along the 400 km road between Ajdabiya to Sirte, east of the country, where there have been coalition operations throughout the day.
"We believe that many civilians have died, including families fleeing the air strikes car," he added, while he described the attack a "murderer, immoral and illegal." Also, Libyan television reported Sahba bombings that have reached military and civilian areas. Meanwhile, Brega was the epicenter of fighting between the Army Gaddafi against international troops and the rebels all day Saturday.
