Mm. Supply route from Benghazi.

I went to Benghazi to assess the intentions and credibility of the Transitional National Council and Libyan opposition. We brought medical supplies for the Benghazi Medical Center, where injured people from Misurata and elsewhere are being treated.

We should have limited ourselves very, very strictly to the protection of the civilian population in Benghazi.

It left at 22.26 hrs on the same day for Benghazi in Libya, having unloaded its heavy cargo.

According to the information received, Mr. Muhammad Umar Salim Krain, an accountant working in the Financial Department of the Public Services Enterprise for the Benghazi City Council, aged 39, of Libyan nationality, was arrested after a confrontation in January 1989 between an armed opposition group and security forces that allegedly took place near the motorway to Benghazi airport.

The disaster has affected not only Benghazi city, but all of the decent, generous people of Libya, who were deeply shocked by that horrible tragedy.

Since September 11, 2001 several new WTCs have been established in the Middle East and North Africa regions Aleppo, Basra, Benghazi, Dammam, Jeddah, Kabul, Kuwait City, Riyadh and Sanaa.

But they are struggling to identify what they do want, and how to build it. As I saw in Benghazi, there is a fair chance that Libya s emerging leaders will be good, realistic partners for good realistic policies.

In fact, the persistence, intensity, and frequency of protests exemplified in September, when local militia in Benghazi killed US Ambassador to Libya J. Christopher Stevens demonstrate the role that the culture and psychology of crowds are playing in determining the Arab world s trajectory.

In fact, Clinton was deeply moved by Jibril s testimony, riveted by the horror of the regime s tanks grinding toward Benghazi at that very moment. In the hours that follow, she convinces Obama not to bow to his anti interventionist secretary of defense, Robert Gates.

The Brigade attracted public attention last June as well, when around 300 armed members staged a rally in Benghazi, sparking outrage among Libyans. We wanted to send a message to the General National Council members, according to Hashim Al Nawa , one of the Brigade s commanders.

Even some who defended freedom of expression in those cases may be disinclined to do so now. This time, the film that triggered riots in Cairo, Benghazi, Sana, and elsewhere is so crude and inflammatory as to seem clearly intended to elicit the outrage that it produced.

In Libya, the collapse of Colonel Muammar el Qaddafi s regime has thrown the country into chaos and decimated central government authority. The south remains lawless, while the east is ruled by the Benghazi regional council only the west remains subject to the poorly consolidated government in Tripoli.

The Benghazi attack, and the lack of a credible Libyan response, demonstrated that the country is neither governed by the rule of law nor in a position to impose it. The new government must change this situation by disbanding militias and integrating their members into official Libyan security forces.

After the September 11 attack in Benghazi, frustrated Libyans poured into the streets shouting anti militia slogans. Ten days later, protesters overran the base of Ansar al Sharia, the Islamist militia suspected of masterminding the attack, as part of a sweep of raids on militia compounds throughout the city.

In Libya, the transitional authorities are finding it extremely challenging to create a coherent political structure that can unite two very different provinces, Cyrenaica and Tripolitania, which were held together only by the Qaddafi regime s brutality. In Benghazi, there are already calls for autonomy, if not outright independence.

Since crowds took to the streets of Tunis, Cairo, Benghazi, and other Arab cities, toppling decades old regimes, spectators and analysts have wondered where the Arab world is headed. But they have focused almost exclusively on the events political dimension Who are the leaders, and what are their demands?

But these funds have been unable to fuel the economy of rebel controlled territories. Libyans complain that they have not been paid their monthly salaries. Nightly power outages have left many in the dark in cities like Tobruk, and even the rebel capital of Benghazi has experienced sporadic electricity cuts.

6. On 19 March 1997 the Committee approved a request dated 5 March 1997 from Egypt for 45 flights on Egypt Air from Cairo to Tripoli and Benghazi and on to Jeddah, and an equal number of return flights, for the purpose of transporting Libyan pilgrims to perform the Haj.

Likewise, regime change in Libya aided the rise of Al Qaeda linked militants, leading to the killing in Benghazi of the US ambassador. A system based on sharia (Islamic law) has been imposed, human rights abuses are legion, and cross border movement of weapons and militants has undermined the security of Libya s neighbors.

Though the attack on the US diplomatic mission in Benghazi, in which Ambassador J. Christopher Stevens and three members of his staff were murdered, may well have been planned, as the State Department has maintained, the killers clearly exploited the opportunity created by outrage at an anti Muslim film produced in the US.

Ahmed Jibril, Libya s deputy ambassador to London, has now accused the Brigade, headed by Muhammed Ali Al Zahawy, of perpetrating the attack on the US Consulate in Benghazi, which killed the American ambassador, Christopher Stevens, and three other US personnel, as well as Libyan guards. Others have quickly embraced and promoted Jibril s allegation.

BENGHAZI Six months after Libyan rebels took up arms against the country s leader, Col. Muammar el Qaddafi, they have finally toppled him. But, while victorious on the battlefield, they have not been triumphant in political and economic terms. If the rebels are to ensure their revolution s long term success, they will have to overcome the weaknesses that plague them.

Internally, Libya has launched a Go East policy, so that development does not become clustered only in its oil and gas regions and around the capital of Tripoli. It wants, in particular, to ensure that the people and tribes in its Eastern Cyrenaica territories centered in Benghazi have a chance to develop equally with the rest of the country.

In March 2011, its airstrikes in Libya (alongside those of Great Britain) thwarted Colonel Muammar el Qaddafi s troops as they prepared to retake the city of Benghazi. A month later, French forces in Côte d Ivoire arrested President Laurent Gbagbo, who had refused to recognize his rival s election victory, putting the country at risk of civil war.

Unlike the US led invasion of Iraq in 2003, it cannot be argued that external military intervention will be likely to cause more harm than good. It should be at least as effective in protecting the Yezidis (and Kurds and others in nearby Erbil) as was the intervention in Libya in 2011 to stop the threatened massacre by Muammar el Qaddafi s forces of the people of Benghazi.

The nbsp Brigade denied responsibility in a written statement, as well as in a brief interview with its spokesperson, who at the time was in charge of guarding Al Jala nbsp Hospital in Benghazi. Like its statement on the destruction of Sufi shrines, it denied involvement in the attack on the US Consulate, but stressed the gravity of the insult against the Prophet that putatively triggered it.

In fact, the persistence, intensity, and frequency of protests exemplified in September, when local militia in Benghazi killed US Ambassador to Libya J. Christopher Stevens demonstrate the role that the culture and psychology of crowds are playing in determining the Arab world s trajectory. After decades of authoritarian rule, citizens, frustrated with discredited institutions and paralyzed political parties, have begun to employ social media to organize civil resistance.

(2.1, 2.2, 2.3) In response to the paragraphs relating to assistance and guidance, we wish to inform you that on 13 January 2002 the Libyan Arab Jamahiriya, within the framework of its commitment to the implementation of Security Council resolution 1373 (2001), created counter terrorism branches at the level of the three main regions of the Libyan Arab Jamahiriya, namely Tripoli, Benghazi and Sabha.

Brigades in eastern Libya, or Cyrenaica, for example, are strongly rooted in traditional Islamist ideology. Fighters in the region have been organized into powerful units, such as the February 17 Martyrs Brigade, the large government allied force that was hired to protect the US mission in Benghazi, and the Libya Shield Force, the widely deployed coalition of militias that assisted the US mission on the night of the attack.
