Rebels now completely control Misrata

Tunisians fight off a Battalion sized Loyalist attack 200 is counted as a small/understrength Battalion right?

also, the Rebels are stating they can't send out anymore oil until after the war

yeah, i'm looking at maps to try and figure out the operation my self, but thats just for fun...

also, reports indicate that NATO bombers hit a town on the Libya/Tunisia border. is it possible this is in anticipation of the Canadian ground operation?

Britain is pushing to start targeting Gaddafi's personal C&C centres, and military reserves, saying NATO should not limit itself to the forces attacking civilians.

The Vatican denounced the Violence in both Syria and Libya.

No news on Bahrain.

200 Loyalists tried to circumvent the western rebels by crossing into Tunisia. The Tunisians turned them back without combat, though warning shots were fired.

3 warrants are expected to be issued today for crimes against humanity.

Tunisian authorities have arrested an algerian and a Libyan in possession of explosives. this was their first arrest of North African al-Qaeda members.

Fully in control of Misurata and the immediate area, the Rebels are now advancing to Zlitan.

Italy Gave Tunisia 4 brand new gun boats to help stem the tide of illegal migrants to Europe.

NATO has started to bomb fuel stations in Gaddafi territory trying to force loyalists to retreat due to supply line issues.

The Arab League has banned all transmission to Gaddafi's Libya from Arab owned satellites, effectively limiting state TV to Tripoli.

Luis Moreno-Ocampo, chief prosecutor of the International Criminal Court, has asked the ICC to issue arrest warrants for Libyan leader Muammar Gaddafi, his second-eldest son Saif al-Islam, and his intelligence chief Abdullah Senussi, These 3 warrants are for the Libyan People to enforce, not the International community.

NATO has said that since it took over command of Libya air strikes on March 31, its aircraft have conducted 6,808 sorties, including 2,656 strike sorties. Currently, 20 ships under NATO command are patrolling the central Mediterranean Sea. NATO has also reported that since the start of the Libya arms embargo, a total of 936 vessels have been hailed, 40 boarded and five diverted.

Are their any maps on the libyan conflict, to tell us exactly how close the rebels are to tripoli. Ive looked on Al jazeera but theres nothing on there.

The rebels now hold 2 of the 3 largest cities in Libya, this could be a big turning point

MAP

that should give you a decent idea, as well as detailing operations in the last little while. The Green area cut off in the top left hand corner is the edge of the Tripoli region.

NATO ships have thwarted an attempt by Gaddafi's forces to use small boats packed with explosives to menace aid vessels headed to Misrata. Today's action marks the third time in as many weeks that NATO ships have taken on Gaddafi loyalists off the Libyan coast.

if i recall the Syrian protesters asked for help and it all got shot down by Russian and China.

any blame if a EU intervention happens should be pointed their way. besides, Syria is at the point where were seeing dead civilians on the News, this could turn into another Bosnia.
