The regime in Libya bomb oil targets

Colonel Moammar Gadhafi pledged to give battle if the international community imposes a no-fly zone over Libya, and harassed by air and land to the rebel forces of Ras Lanuf, which burned oil wells and facilities. Gadhafi and the National Transitional Council (CNT) that formed as parallel power in Benghazi (thousand kilometers east of Tripoli) also waging a diplomatic war with the sending of emissaries to various cities before vital meetings of NATO and the European Union (EU) in Brussels, and the Arab League in Cairo to discuss the Libyan issue.

The scheme offered a reward of nearly half a million dollars for the capture of the NLC president, Mustafa Abdeljalil to make clear that it is willing to build any kind of bridge to Benghazi. After the outbreak of the rebellion on Feb. 15, insurgents took control of this oil and various enclaves of the West, but Gadhafi, in power since 1969, maintained its authority in the region of Tripoli and seemed to catch up.

The battle raged in Ras Lanuf and its vicinity, which was captured on Friday by opponents. The insurgents tried to advance their lines with the support of about 50 rockets fire, but were forced to retreat back to Ras Lanuf when Gadhafi's men replied with mortars. An aircraft also bombed an area about a kilometer from a refinery near the city as well as points on the Mediterranean coast.

Earlier, Ras Lanuf had been shaken by a series of explosions that caused a fire on the refinery giant flares Ace Cider. CNT spokesman in Benghazi, Abdelhafez Ghoqa said that "several oil wells were shelled, and refineries" in the region of Ras Lanuf. Ghoqa said, however, that the revolutionaries were able to move forward and seize back Jawad Bin, from which they were expelled on Sunday.

Let's call things by their name. An air exclusion zone begins with an attack against Libya to destroy its air defenses of U.S. Secretary of Defense. If there is no international intervention, Gadhafi destroy our country. I do not care if people die head of the Libyan opposition.
