Gadhafi Vows to Open Weapons Depots ‘So That Libya Becomes Red With Fire’

TRIPOLI, Libya (AP) — The embattled regime of Moammar Gadhafi is arming civilian supporters to set up checkpoints and roving patrols around the Libyan capital to control movement and quash dissent, residents said Saturday.
The reports came a day after protesters demanding Gadhafi’s ouster came under heavy gunfire by pro-regime militiamen trying to stop the first significant anti-government marches in days in Tripoli.
Gadhafi, speaking from the ramparts of a historic Tripoli fort on Friday, told supporters to prepare to defend the nation as he faced the biggest challenge to his 42-year rule. “At the suitable time, we will open the arms depot so all Libyans and tribes become armed, so that Libya becomes red with fire,” he said.
Rebels hold a long sweep of about half of Libya’s 1,000-mile (1,600- kilometer) Mediterranean coastline where most of the population lives, and even captured a brigadier general and a soldier Saturday as the Libyan army tried to retake an air base east of Tripoli.
The international community stepped up its response to the bloodshed, while Americans and other foreigners were evacuated from the chaos roiling the North African nation.
The U.N. Security Council planned to meet later Saturday for a second day to consider an arms embargo against the Libyan government and a travel ban and asset freeze against Gadhafi, his relatives and key members of his government.
President Barack Obama signed an executive order Friday freezing assets held by Gadhafi and four of his children in the United States. The Treasury Department said the sanctions against Gadhafi, three of his sons and a daughter also apply to the Libyan government.
Also Friday evening, pro-Gadhafi troops with tanks attacked the Misrata Air Base east of Tripoli that had fallen into rebel hands. They succeeded in retaking part of it in battles with residents and army units who had joined the uprising against Gadhafi, said a doctor and a resident wounded in the battle on the edge of opposition-held Misrata, Libya’s third-largest city, about 120 miles (200 kilometers) from the capital.
In Tripoli, most residents stayed in their homes Saturday, terrified of bands of armed men at checkpoints and patrolling the city.
A 40-year-old business owner said he had seen Gadhafi supporters enter one of the regime’s Revolutionary Committee headquarters Saturday and leave with arms. He said the regime is offering a car and money to any supporters bringing three people with them to join the effort.
“Someone from the old revolutionary committees will go with them so they’ll be four,” the witness said when reached by telephone from Cairo. “They’ll arm them to drive around the city and terrorize people.”
Other residents reported seeing trucks full of civilians with automatic rifles patrolling their neighborhoods. Many were young, even teenagers, and wore green arm bands or cloths on their heads to show their affiliation to the regime, residents said. All spoke on condition of anonymity for fear of reprisals.
Tripoli, home to about a third of Libya’s population of 6 million, is the center of the eroding territory that Gadhafi still controls.
Pro-government forces have blocked access to Tripoli’s eastern Tajoura district, one of the hotspots during previous protests. Meanwhile, residents of the district have chopped down palm trees as makeshift barricades and spread rocks and other debris on roads to protect their neighborhoods.
Dozens of people gathered in the district Saturday for the funeral of Anwar Algadi, 44. His brother, Mohammed, said he was killed a day earlier in clashes with pro-regime forces, with the cause of death listed as “receiving a live bullet to the head.”
Even in the Gadhafi-held pocket of northwestern Libya around Tripoli, several cities have also fallen to the rebellion. Militiamen and pro-Gadhafi troops were repelled when they launched attacks trying to take back opposition-held territory in Zawiya and Misrata in fighting that killed at least 30 people.
Gadhafi’s son, Seif al-Islam, told foreign journalists invited by the government to Tripoli that there were no casualties in Tripoli and that the capital was “calm.”
“Everything is peaceful,” he said. “Peace is coming back to our country.”
He said the regime wants negotiations with the opposition and said there were “two minor problems” in Misrata and Zawiya. There, he said, “we are dealing with terrorist people,” hut he hoped to reach a peaceful settlement with them.
Most shops in Tripoli were closed and long lines formed at bakeries as people ventured out for supplies.
In the Souq al-Jomaa neighborhood, piles of ashes stood in front of a burned-out police station. Graffiti on the walls read, “Down, down with Gadhafi.” Elsewhere, shattered glass and rocks littered the streets.
A law school graduate walking to his house in the Fashloum area said he had seen many people killed by snipers in recent days.
“People are panicked, they are terrified. Few leave their houses. When it gets dark, you can’t walk in the streets because anybody who walks is subject to be shot to death,” he said.
He said Gadhafi’s use of force against protesters had turned him against the regime.
“We Libyans cannot hear that there were other Libyans killed and remain silent,” he said. “Now everything he says is a lie.”
In Tripoli’s Green Square, where state television has shown crowds of Gadhafi supporters in recent days, armed security men in blue uniforms were stationed around the plaza. Pro-Gadhafi billboards and posters were everywhere. A burned restaurant was the only sign of the unrest.
Supporters in about 50 cars covered with Gadhafi posters drove slowly around the square, waving green flags from the windows and honking horns. A camera crew filmed the procession.
A taxi driver, Nasser Mohammed, 25, was among those who had put a picture of Gadhafi and a green flag on his car.
“Have you heard the speech last night?” he asked. “It was great. Libyans don’t want anyone but Gadhafi. He gave us loans.”
Mohammed said each family received 500 Libyan dinars (about $400) after the start of the protests, plus the equivalent of about $100 credit for phone service.
Gadhafi loyalists manned a street barricade, turning away motorists trying to enter. After turning around, the drivers were then stopped at another checkpoint, manned by armed men in uniform, who searched cars and checked IDs of drivers and passengers.
In Misrata, a resident said the opposition was still in control of the city, which was calm Saturday, with many shops open and a local committee running civic affairs. But the opposition only held parts of the sprawling air base after Friday’s attack by Gadhafi supporters, he added.
Three more bodies of opposition members who died in Friday‘s clashes near the air base were brought to the city’s hospital, raising the death toll since Thursday to 25, he said.
The resident said pro-Gadhafi troops captured several members of the opposition Friday and now the two sides are talking about a possible swap since the opposition also captured the brigadier general and a soldier. Libyan state TV confirmed that an army Brig. Gen. Abu Bakr Ali was captured, although it said he was “kidnapped by terrorist gangs.”
The opposition also held complete control of Sabratha, a town west of Tripoli famed for nearby ancient Roman ruins, with no police or any security forces associated with the Gadhafi regime, said Khalid Ahmed, a resident. He added that tribes were trying to organize a march on Tripoli, although a checkpoint outside the capital would stop anyone from entering.
“All of Libya is together,” Ahmed said. “We are not far from toppling the regime.”
Thousands of evacuees from Libya reached ports Saturday across the Mediterranean, with many more still trying to flee the North African nation by sea, air or land.
More than 2,800 Chinese workers landed in Heraklion on the Greek island of Crete aboard a Greek ship Saturday, while another 2,200 Chinese arrived in Valletta, the capital of Malta, on a ship from the eastern Libyan port of Benghazi.
Thousands of expatriates streamed out of Libya at the bustling Tunisian border, most of them Egyptians and Tunisians.
More than 20,000 have arrived since early this week, said Heinke Veit of the European Union Humanitarian Aid group.

Posted on February 26, 2011 at 8:58pmYou know, you guys are cheering for the demise of Gaddafi.. But here’s a dose of reality. They are all muslims held in check by a dictator.
Now, if they overthrow him, they will come to kill you, the western moron, instead. See the results in Israel, Iraq, and Afghanistan for more information.
So what do I hope happens? I hope they all die. Yes, I said it. Because if they don’t die now, we’ll just have to kill them later. And that’s the truth.

Posted on February 26, 2011 at 8:18pmI heard somewhere (but see no mention of it here) that Americans were the last groups to get out. Why is that. Do we now have to be last in evacuating to show the world we are not so special that we all get our own helicopter courtesy of our military. We could easily do that but they won’t and I believe this Government would not mind a little American loss of life in this situation. So the president can act yet again at some memorial service.

We should do both. Get Libyas oil now and begin exploring and drilling new wells here. Of course Obama wont do either.

Posted on February 26, 2011 at 2:26pmIf we had a real Leader as president – like Reagan who never ran from a fight – we would be sending our troops into Libya to liberate the people like we did in Iraq. Then our oil companies would be able to use the Libyan oil for the good of the American people. In my opinion thats what Obama should do but I dont think he has the guts of Reagan to take that kind of desisive action for the good of the Libyan people and for the good of America.

Posted on February 26, 2011 at 11:30pmFrankly, I don’t see what the people in Libya are complaining about. They have rich country with their oil reserves. They take the oil out of the ground, sell it, and the money rolls into the country.
In so many ways Libya is the ideal America wants. The deserving live like Kings off of the wealth of the land. Yes, a diminishingly small percentage of the population are wealthy and priviledged, and and most of the population is jobless, poor and hungry. But they absolutely ZERO distribution of wealth. The wealth of the country goes to those hard working Libyans who control the oil companies or have risen in the military. If the average Libyans was willing to work hard they could rise to be oil barron billionairs themselves. But instead the crybabies want the wealth of the country to redistributed so they get a free ride.
Our country would be better off if we were more like Libya and had no distribution of wealth. That’s Marxism. Of course we want elections and stuff but basically we want the wealth of our country to go to the deserving people who have earned the billions. And the rest of us, well, we don’t really have a right to share in the wealth of our country do we?
I’m with Snowleopard. We should go in and kill all those Muslims Brotherhood members who oppose the rightful government of Libya and restore that country to it’s rightful order.

Posted on February 27, 2011 at 1:18amCan‘t believe i’m saying this, but I am hoping queef-dafi wins this. The things standing in the way of total calliphate are hardened dictators like Kaddaffi, If Libya falls, then who knows comes in to assume the leadership of the power vaccuum. Seems to me this is a concertated effort by SOMEONE to make the “islamist’ countries not falling lock-step topple and assume new leadership, assumptively under a leasder who will be in line with some calliphate shuri law system that unifies all the muslim states together.
Report Post »And what will the NATO countries do? They are so infiltrated with muslims now, with their own domestic issues and financial issues, they will be absolutely hanstrung. Who then? The former savior of the world, the United States? Sorry, world, not with our “Manturian Canidate” President.
Looking more and more like it is every man for himself on the entire globe.
….Is it Nov 2012 yet?

Air-drop guns and ammo…..last 1 standing gets to be the leader…simple enough!

Cold-hearted idea, but effective and do-able. Would it not be simpler if somehow a 78 cent bullet found a home in Gahdaffi’s brain?
