Previously captured Italian Patrol ship with crew of 11 has been released and is now heading back to Italy with Libyan Military officials on board.


Wait..... Why with Libyan military officials? Are they trying to escape?

I don't know if anyone has posted this yet.

[11:45 a.m. Sunday ET, 5:45 p.m. Sunday Libya] Italy announced that as of midnight Sunday, four Tornado warplanes and four F-16s will be made available.

NOT IN OP

YEMEN military starts to turn against their president, Entire cabinet has been fired. (sounding like Egypt i think)

THANK GOD! Militaries tend to not like firing on their own people. After the sniper shootings I was hoping somebody would put a stop to this.

Of course, the Rebels are calling for help, but who exactly are the Rebels, nobody seems to know?

These are the rebels. They aren't JUST a loose band, there is some structural leadership and governance. Hell France already recognizes this as the legitimate government.

IT'S A TRAP!

OT: I'm getting sick of people calling all of this "westernizing" the Middle East. Sure maybe that's one or two general's/presidents/leader's goal, but overall the UN and such are in there to stop a dictator for ruling Libya and possibly taking over the whole region.

though this suggests that the cease fire is not in effect we need to wait and see what it actually was. with that much military equipment in the hands of poorly trained people mistakes can happen
