March 21 War in Libya 2011

March 21 War in Libya 2011

It was reported by Al Manara Media, that Khamis al-Gaddafi, the leader of the Khamis Brigade and son of Muammar al-Gaddafi, had died from his injuries sustained when Muhammad Mokhtar Osman allegedly crashed his plane into Bab al-Azizia a week earlier. However, this had not been confirmed by any other independent media. The crashing of the plane itself had also not been previously reported or confirmed by any other independent media except Al Manara.

Swiss journalist Gaëtan Vannay, reporting from Zintan in Tripolitana, said the eastern environs of Zintan has seen fighting between rebels and attacking regime forces for the past two days. There is heavy shelling on the city by pro-Gaddafi forces.

Following a meeting with UN Secretary-General Ban Ki Moon, the Secretary-General of the Arab League, Amr Moussa, stated his support for the no-fly zone being implemented over Libya.

The BBC reported that the Libyan Permanent Mission to United Nations is now flying the former Libyan flag and an image of this flag appears on the mission's official website which has also removed an image Muammar al-Gaddafi from its index page.

There are four pro-Gaddafi tanks situated on the road outside of Adjabiya, which fire on any vehicle that goes over a rise approaching the city.
