TRIPOLI (July 7, 2011) — Rebel fighters in Libya have blamed a lack of ammunition, and a lack of NATO support, for their failure to advance towards the capital Tripoli. It comes just days after Libya reportedly intercepted two vessels with Belgian weapons intended for the rebels. For more about what’s going on there, RT crosses live to Tripoli and Dr. Franklin Lamb, a Director of Americans Concerned for Middle East Peace.

The Children are terrified by the NATO bombings. The criminals/politicians behind this bombing campaign must be brought to court swiftly.


‘1,108 Libyans Killed in NATO Attacks’

TRIPOLI (July 13, 2011) — Libya’s prosecutor general has said that NATO airstrikes have killed more than 1,100 civilians and injured thousands of others since the end of March.

Mohamed Zekri Mahjubi told foreign journalists in Tripoli on Wednesday that he intends to prosecute NATO Secretary General Anders Fogh Rasmussen in Libyan courts for “war crimes.”

“As NATO secretary general, Rasmussen is responsible for the actions of this organization which has attacked an unarmed people, killing 1,108 civilians and wounding 4,537 others in bombardment of Tripoli and other cities and villages,” Mahjubi was quoted by AFP as saying.

The prosecutor general pressed other charges against Rasmussen, saying the NATO chief sought to murder Libyan ruler Muammar Gaddafi. Mahjubi also accused Rasmussen of “deliberate aggression against innocent civilians, the murder of children as well as trying to overthrow the Libyan regime.”

The Libyan official said the NATO chief seeks to change the regime in Libya and establish a new government under his control with the aim of exploiting the country’s oil.

NATO has carried out hundreds of air attacks over Libya with the claimed aim of protecting civilians against Gaddafi forces. The NATO chief met representatives of the Libyan opposition-backed Transitional National Council in Brussels on Wednesday to discuss the way forward in the North African country.

Rasmussen said NATO operations in Libya would continue. However, he added that it was time to find a political solution to the crisis.

TRIPOLI (July 14, 2011) — Libya’s prosecutor general charged on Wednesday that NATO air strikes in support of rebel forces since the end of March have killed more than 1,100 civilians and wounded about 4,500 others.
Mr Mohamed Zekri Mahjubi told foreign journalists in Tripoli he was seeking to prosecute NATO chief Anders Fogh Rasmussen in Libyan courts for ‘war crimes’.

‘As NATO secretary general, Rasmussen is responsible for the actions of this organisation which has attacked an unarmed people, killing 1,108 civilians and wounding 4,537 others in bombardment of Tripoli and other cities and villages.’

He drew up a list of charges.

Apart from war crimes, Mr Mahjubi accused Mr Rasmussen of trying to kill Libyan leader Muammar Gaddafi, ‘deliberate aggression against innocent civilians’ and of ‘the murder of children.’ Also, the NATO chief stood accused of ‘trying to overthrow the Libyan regime’ and replace it with a rebel movement under its control to ‘take over the wealth’ of oil-rich Libya.
