Hi Carmen,

That report was shown earlier on Sky as it happened and I think it was wrong for the Reporter to say he was the only one there. The Woman ran into
a Hotel where several Journalists were in around. the started to tell her story, sitting on a chair in the foyer and you could see the cut on her face,
she said she was raped, and showed damage to her wrists where she had been tied. the Libyan "minders" intervened and she was still trying to talk to
reporters as she was led away and pushed into a Car . I dread to think what happened to her.

Hi Panda, it doesn't bear thinking about what might have happened to the woman.

Also makes you realise how 'imprisoned' the press are there.

Just back from 'liberated' Ajdabiya. Much celebrating there. Met one rebel fighter who was cleaning his boots with Gadafy's green flag

Yes, it"s true. What is more, the sky Reporter at the scene said along the route Armoured Vehicles containing ammunition, and tanks were blown up by the UN task force. Apparently, this is very significant because up until now there hasn"t been many Gaddafi troops deployed, which suggests that with his planes out of action and lack of ammunition it may be the beginning of the end.

Yes, BadBoy, Gaddafi is supposed to be arming Civilians which suggests he is desperate. Brega is a strategic gain because of the Oil terminal.
