Saif Gaddafi: "All dead in 48 hours," Sarkozy the UN: It serves no-fly zone

ROME - The troops tighten the circle around the Gaddafi in Benghazi and the last strongholds of the rebels. Saif al-Islam, son of Libyan leader Muammar Gaddafi, announced that "everything will be finished within 48 hours" means the council of the city where the insurgency is now about to fall. The final offensive and the heads of the army is preparing to give formal notice to the Libyan rebels to lay down their weapons.

It 's another day of fighting in Libya, while the UN began the exploration of the no-fly zones and Sarkozy calls on the Security Council to endorse the draft prepared by Britain and Paris, along with Lebanon (Spokesman the Arab League Council), which provides no-fly zone and aims to impose stricter sanctions against the regime of Gaddafi: the Security Council, however, is highly divided.

Ban Ki Moon has called for an immediate ceasefire. Frattini: Gaddafi can not be sent away, no bloodshed. Foreign Minister Frattini said, in the Senate hearing, of "taking note" of the international community as "Colonel" can not be sent away. They are justified as, in the words of the minister, the hesitations that have characterized several days of negotiations at the highest levels between the weights of the world leaders, to be spectators to what is happening.

The line, from what they say Frattini, seems to be to await the result of "political and economic isolation," it should drop the Libyan leader. Italy somehow vindicates the leadership of the line wait: indirect in controversy with France, Frattini argues that other countries have come only "claims" and, now, what looks like a "waiver" of the international community to assume their responsibilities in the Libyan crisis is really a "take note of caution" expressed by Italy at the beginning of the revolt, even when it was "old fashioned" do it.

Frattini also rejects the hypothesis of a unilateral action, "Italy supports the no-fly zones, but not only. We have proposed, inter alia, a naval patrol. The only thing we can not accept is a measure of such unilateral military . shared action, however painful, is essential, "said the minister, pointing out that Italy is committed together with other partners to seek solutions to Libya to" avoid a bloodbath "and finally arrive at a "ceasefire," the minister added.

France: It's not too late to act. France, which along with Britain has tried to push for military intervention so far without success, states across the blog of the Foreign Minister Alain Juppe that "it is too late", that "several Arab countries" are ready to "a effective participation "in a military operation in Libya.

Jupp insists on the opportunity to raid targeted, but the White House begins to filter out the idea that even a no-fly zone will do little good, and, according to The New York Times, in any case would not be operational on April 1, too late to lend a hand to the rebels in Benghazi. Clinton: Time is against us.

Dali U.S. Secretary of State convonta Clinton has expressed the need to act quickly to deal with the advancing forces of the rebels against Gaddafi. "Time is against us. And 'urgent' that the international community to intervene, said in an interview with CBS television. "We are considering various scenarios.

There is a 'no-fly zone', but also other ways to protect the Libyans from their leaders, who seem determined to kill as many people as possible," he said. Insurgents lose confidence. The mission of the European Council sees the return from Benghazi Libyan transition as a valid interlocutor, said the permanent President of the European Union Van Rompuy the European Parliament, but the insurgents seem to disbelieve the possibility of outside help.

It did not happen when Qaddafi seemed to have ended, forced to launch threats to the nation and the world from its shelters, why should it happen now that the Rais feels so safe to lay down new conditions to those in the community had "betrayed", first Italy. Speaking in an interview with Euronews, Saif Gaddafi has attacked France, calling Sarkozy a clown.

"With Libya's money financed his election campaign, accuses the son of the colonel. He continues: "You have disappointed. Chuckled our money. We have every detail: bank accounts, documents, transfer operations, and soon we will reveal everything." Accuse West: shame. West, the rebels want more help, now the charge is open.

"I think it's a shame the cowardly position taken by the Western world" is hard to comment Tarhouni Ali, leader of the insurgents and member of the Petroleum Economy and the Provincial Council constituted in eastern Libya, in an interview with Voice of America. It is with the United States "that are proposed as defenders of democracy and human rights" that Tarhouni gets angry first.

Remembering what the attitude of today Obama is in "stark contrast" with the statement made in 2009, delivered a historic speech to Muslims in Cairo. "Obama made an appeal for democracy and freedom and now the least I can do is support the no-fly zone. The blood of the Libyan people is not cheap, we pay it is expensive." For Tarhouni, economic sanctions will not be enough to stop Gaddafi.

"I do not understand what they mean by sanctions, Gaddafi has its planes bombed a city 50 or 100 km from here - said the leader of the insurgents - As the entire Libyan population, are very disappointed by Obama. Gaddafi will go away sooner or later and people will remember those who have been friend and was on his side in times of need.

" Benghazi to the final battle. The statements come as Tarhouni forces loyal to Colonel advance to Benghazi, the stronghold of the insurgents. "Believe me, we are not afraid of Qaddafi and his forces - -. We conclude that fall, is a matter of hours, days or even months. But the problem is how many lives will take away with them." While feeling abandoned, then, the insurgents are determined not to surrender.

Al Araby reports that two Libyan fighters that have made the raid on Benghazi today were shot down by anti-insurgent. The rebels have announced today, through Al Jazeera, he still had control of "several quarters of Ajdabiya," the city of Cyrenaica which yesterday entered Gaddafi's troops, and "we are able to resist the advancing army" .

It 'was released a video shot last night, where you see some tanks destroyed during the battle yesterday against the brigades of the scheme. Brigades that this morning, led by Khamis Gaddafi, son of Colonel, came also to measure, in the west of the country: violent bombings struck the city, killing at least 5 people and a dozen injured.

According to reports from Al-Arabiya, the column made up of about 40 tanks have already entered the southern and western outskirts of the city. Forces loyal to Muammar Gaddafi attacked then Zintan, 120 kilometers southwest of Tripoli. Witnesses said, explaining that he had "heard a few shots of armored vehicles, the explosion of rockets and small arms a few miles south of the city." As of yesterday there were 26 deaths in fighting in Ajdabiya, in Cyrenaica, a medical source said, adding that the clashes are continuing.
