Did anyone think that Col. Qaddafi and his supporters would have put up a fight for this long? Did it occur to you that several countries will unite and try to force Qaddafi to leave? A bombing mission was executed late Sunday, bombing what is said to be Qaddafi's place of administration. Although there were no casualties, the bombing was not intent to kill Col. Qaddafi, but instead to have Pro-Qaddafi forces back off from trying to conquer Ajdabiya. The Allied forces are being very cautious of when and where they are dropping bombs. A pilot from France had to abort a mission so that he did not kill any civilians. The London Ministry said:
“Further information came to light that identified a number of civilians within the intended target area. As a result, the decision was taken not to launch weapons. This decision underlines the U.K.’s commitment to the protection of civilians.”
Libyan officials claimed and told the media that there have numerous casualties and injuries due to the Tripoli airstrikes. Indonesian journalist were able to visit two hospitals and they had no increase in the amount of causalities since the airstrikes occurred- it seems like Libyan journalists and news reporters want the Allied forces to appear barbaric.
As of now Libya is parted East and West Secretary of Defense Robert Gates says that he fears that Libya might be separated because Qaddafi's empowerment on the western side.
