Libya, Qaddafi isolated controls only Tripoli

Tripoli is still under the control of Gaddafi while Zauia, Zentani, Cyrenaica and east of the country are no longer so. This morning, the government has sent a text message to the citizens by encouraging them to return to work but the streets remained deserted. According to what the witnesses said the city spent a relatively quiet night and this morning the streets are almost empty and there is also little police around.

From Benghazi, in the meantime, reports of a Sukhoi-22 fighter-bomber that the Libyan Air Force crashed to the ground near the city. The pilot and co-pilot abandoned him and have parachuted to the ground so as not to obey an order to attack the city, in the hands of the rebels: it reports on its website on-line pro-government newspaper 'Quryna', citing an unnamed colonel in the service of an air base in the area.

Meanwhile they have identified dozens of mass graves dug on the beach in Tripoli to bury the victims, more than a thousand according to some Arab media, the clashes in Libya. E 'as shown by an amateur video, shot yesterday in the Libyan capital, published by Onedayonearth information site and relaunched the website of the Daily Telegraph (see video).

In the film, lasting just over a minute and a half, we see many men working in what appears to be a large cemetery on the beach overlooking the waterfront of Tripoli.
