In the same statement Gaddafi released to Libyan media yesterday, he also declared that the country will suspend co-operation with Europe in the fight against illegal immigration.
This agreement by which Libya had started to block its coastline to illegal immigrant departures is expected to hit Malta and Italy hard. Prior to this agreement Malta was facing an influx of thousands of such immigrants on a regular basis.
However some of the immigrants themselves and Libyans on the island commented that in a post-Gaddafi democratic Libya, there would be much less reason to escape the country for a better futute in Europe.

In what has been called "Operation Odyssey Dawn", the mixed nations currently including France, Britian, Italy, Canada and the United States (but already being joing by various others) have already initiated actions against the Libyan regime. The operation is currently being led by the United States during this initial stage but expected to be passed on to other nations in the coming phases.
The US operational command is under General Carter Hamm while fleet command is under Admiral Sam Locklear.
The tactical execution is being run out of the USS Mount Whitney, where commanding officers from the various particpating nations are present.
Not all attacks howver are originating from the mixed nation fleet (will give fleet details later), but both French and British warplanes left land-based bases in their own country of origin with the latter requiring in-flight refuelling. However a British sub in the above fleet fired a substantial number of the over 100 tomahawk missiles before attributed solely to US warships.

LOL...Qdaffi Coup d'etat a from Libyan King Idris...to get power of Libya in 1969.
10 t0 20% of all Libyans work in Qdaffi internal secret service.
He does not let English or French be taught in the school to keep western contact down.
Engaging in political conversation with a foreigner.....can result in a 3 year prison sentence.
Amentsy International has Qdaffi agents involved in 25 murders around the globe of anti Qdaffi persons.
In 2004 Qdaffi placed a 1m bounty on Ashur Shamis, Libyan/British journalist.
On the Mohammad the Prophet birthday in 1973...he delivered his 5 point address....
1)suspend all laws and impliment Sharia
2)purge the country of "political sick"
3)create a people militia to protect teh revolution
4)Administrative revolution
5)Cultural revolution
Qdaffi opinion of HIV..is that it is a "peaceful virus"
he once said...."if you are straight, you have nothing to fear from AIDS"
this is mainly because of the African AIDs pandemic that is being caused by multiple partners....and Muslims...have multiple partners.
Qdaffi has been paying as much $2500 per day for Chad Merc.....has been advertising for them in Nigeria newspapers and has a special Khamis Brigade....led by his son....who was trained in Russia. He also used two Generals from his tribe....
Sayed and Ahmed Qaddfi Eddam extensively in the militaries suppression operations.
Note the family name of the later. Just like Sadam Hussien in Iraq.

AFP reports 3 of its journalists missing in Libya. The 3 were last seen in Tobruk in the rebel held east but not necessarily safe in nearby areas.
This follows 4 Al Jazeera journalists who were arrested in the west and are still in government hands.
