NATO raid on Tripoli. Frattini: "Italy will not give heavy weapons to the rebels"

Forward with the raid as long as there will be violence against civilians. And 'the commitment of the 28 NATO allies on the Council of Foreign Affairs in Berlin today. While the summit was drawing to a close, the fighters of the Alliance bombed Tripoli. Strong explosions were heard in the area of the barracks that houses Gaddafi, followed by bursts of flak.

The raid on the Libyan capital, which resulted in death, according to state television, that after the attack showed images of Saddam in the streets of the city by car. Gaddafi appears in black dress while emerging from the roof of a car in the race, raising his arms in the air in triumph.

Some tens of people followed the vehicle or greet the colonel gestures of victory by the roadside. An appeal to NATO to intensify military operations by the rebels arrived in the morning, after the violent attack that Gaddafi launched to measure, where at least 80 missiles were launched Grad Which, according to the insurgents, have 23 civilian casualties.

The request was made to the Allied Nations to prevent "a massacre" in Misurata. Meanwhile, debate continues on whether to supply weapons to the rebels. After the meeting of the Contact Group in Qatar yesterday (read the record of 13 April), it's not France at the request of the insurgents.

In the afternoon, also addressed the issue Foreign Minister Franco Frattini, who at the end of the meeting in Berlin said the exclusion "provision of heavy weapons. Instead, there is an ongoing reflection on the possibility of a military-type support, but non-lethal tools such as telecommunications, vehicles, equipment for night vision "to allow greater self-defense.

Since, according to Frattini, "the last two weeks only to measure at least 250 civilians have died." The possibility that Italy participates in the bombing, the minister said: "It will take a collective decision in the Council of Ministers, but there is reluctance." The minister's words come after those issued to the Sole 24 Ore: "Italy has apologized to the Libyan people for the horrors done in the Fascist period of colonization, so if any would cause civilian casualties in bombing would be a very serious".

But our air attack or not? "Tomorrow - replied the minister - the president of the CNT Mustafa Abdul Jalil will be in Rome, received by President Napolitano and Berlusconi. If the Libyans will give us strong arguments we shall see. The government will decide, but any changes would require a parliamentary debate and broad consensus.

" Today's military operations against NATO has deployed the BRICS group, the major emerging countries (Brazil, Russia, India, China and South Africa), who were opposed to the 'use of force "to resolve the crisis and criticized NATO bombings.
