leigh2154: I searched and searched articles....can you tell me anymore?
Leigh, you asked for more info (assumably about the Korean Warship) and this is what I have so far:

The Warship is now identified as the Republic of Korea Navy Destroyer, the "ROKS Choi Young" (DDH 981). The Choi Young is a relatively new Destoyer in service only since September 2008 - The vessel was in service off the Somali Coast and in the Persian Gulf to combat piracy. It is captained by Cho Young-joo, commander of the Cheonghae Anti-piracy Unit and has recently been in action and instrumental in capturing and freeing the Norwegian-owned chemical tanker "Samho Jewelry" from Somali pirates. Last known port of call was in Oman.

Assumably the vessel is coming to Malta in order to supervise the evacuation of South Korean citizens.

Although it is awful,it does show that they are genuinley worried about the protesters.Also,it is giving more reasons for the other nations to go in,with the fact that the civilian protesters cannot defend themselves agoinst the butchers.bouquet

This goes to show why the UN should have imposed a "no-fly-zone" rather than sanctions.

If this had been in place, Nato jets could have counter attacked from the Sigonella Air base in Sicily.

AFP news agency reports the White House tells reporters that going into exile would be "one option" for Col Gaddafi, to satisfy the demands of the protesters. Spokesman Jay Carney declines to say if the US would help Col Gaddafi leave Libya, should he choose to flee.

Col Gaddafi's alleged use of mercenaries has angered many Libyans. But the UN resolution in Libya included a section which could protect some of the mercenaries from prosecution at the International Court of Human Rights. This means that mercenaries from other countries would escape prosecution even if they were captured.

Opednews reports the U.S. as insisting that the Security Council referral to the ICC exclude anyone not from Libya. This controvercial move appears to have been on concerns that it could be used to prosecute U.S. soldiers and officials over war crimes.

1606 : British PM David Cameron tells the House of Commons Britain will work with allies on plans to enforce a no-fly zone in Libya. He says: "We are taking every step possible to isolate the Gaddafi regime, deprive it of money, shrink its power and ensure that anyone responsible for abuses in Libya will be held to account."
