Libyan Army Executions


These are the pictures that purportedly show Libyan army officers killed for refusing to fire on the rebels. It is claimed the soldiers refused to shoot rebels in the mountainous region west of Tripoli. The pictures were sent to different news channels by a rebel group in the area. A survivor of the killings says the men were rounded-up, their legs tied before being shot in the head or back from close range. The pictures emerged as rebel fighters face perhaps their greatest challenge yet as they take stock of what seems a slowing of momentum in their campaign.
As for as the international response is concerned, President Obama said that they are considering all options including military on and he also added that Qaddafi will be responsible for every thing which he brought on himself and his followers.
The US state department also states that we are considering the military option with more probability. But as the interview of Robert Gates emerge, he indicated that no fly zone could not be brought on by ignoring the possibility of war with Libya because we have to destroy all air defense system as well as strike back capability of Libya. According to some analyst, it would required heavy amount of resources and international support. In addition to this it would required at least a fleet of one hundred fighter jets to patrol on Libyan air space as it is very vast country for the purpose continued implementation of no fly zone.
The latest development also includes that Qaddafi forces also retake the town of Al Zawia which is close to Tripoli. Now the rebels have the last strong hold which in Bin Ghazi.
