BANI WALID, Libya — Violence and confusion after clashes in Bani Walid this week were a troubling reminder of the lingering dangers of shifting loyalties and rampant distrust that remains between many Libyan cities. After journalists reported Monday that soldiers loyal to slain Libyan leader Muammar Gaddafi had retaken Bani Walid, militia groups in Tripoli, Misrata and the Nafusa Mountains were put on high alert, setting up checkpoints and sending reinforcements to secure the routes in and out of the area.
As images of the fighting played on television screens across the country, many feared the beginning of a new civil war and an outbreak of new violence between rebels and the former regime. A local security chief in Bani Walid said thousands of former Gaddafi troops had regrouped. But Ian Martin, a UN diplomat, and Libyan officials announced Wednesday that the reports had been false and the dispute had been a local issue.
Libya celebrates independence day - Africa. For the first time in more than four decades, Libyans have celebrated the 60th anniversary of the country'sindependence from Italy.

"Today we begin the building of Libya as our forefathers have done,'' Abdurrahim el-Keib, Libya's prime minister, said during the celebration on Saturday.
"We call on our sons to build Libya after its destruction. " His remarks were part of an official ceremony in the capital Tripoli.

Mexico has uncovered and stopped an international plot to smuggle late Libyan leader Muammar Gaddafi's son Saadi into the country using fake names and false papers, authorities said. A Canadian woman, a Danish man and two Mexicans were arrested on November 10 and 11 over an elaborate plan to bring Saadi Gaddafi, who is now in Niger, and his family to Mexico using forged documents, safe houses and private flights, they said on Wednesday.
Mexican officials acted on a tip in September about the network, which planned to settle the family near the populartourist spot of Puerto Vallarta on the Pacific coast, Interior Minister Alejandro Poire said. In preparation for the family's arrival, the alleged criminal ring bought properties around Mexico and opened bank accounts.
Al Jazeera's Franc Contreras, reporting from Mexico City, said Saadi Gaddafi had reportedly planned to travel to Mexico on a private airliner.

Libya's Jibril sees elections within eight months. By Tom Pfeiffer DEAD SEA, Jordan Sat Oct 22, 2011 5:58pm IST DEAD SEA, Jordan (Reuters) - Libyans should be allowed to vote within eight months to elect a national council that would draft a new constitution and form an interim government, Prime Minister Mahmoud Jibril said on Saturday as he prepared to step down. After the death of Muammar Gaddafi this week, the priority was to remove weapons from Libyan streets, restore stability and order and begin a process of national reconciliation, Jibril said at the World Economic Forum in Jordan. "The first election should take place within a period of eight months, maximum, to constitute a national congress of Libya, some sort of parliament," he said.
"This national congress would have two tasks -- draft a constitution, on which we would have a referendum, and the second to form an interim government to last until the first presidential elections are held," said Jibril. He said Gaddafi's death left him feeling "relieved and reborn".

NEW: An ex-inspector says the IAEA should view material marked "radioactive" soonNEW: Algeria says it will recognize Libya's transitional government as officialAnti-Gadhafi forces came upon the military site that may have radioactive materialTroops have been putting pressure on several regime holdout cities in recent days Tripoli, Libya (CNN) -- Anti-Gadhafi forces have come across a military site in southern Libya that contains what appears to be radioactive material.
The site, not far from Sabha in the Sahara desert, has two warehouses containing thousands of blue barrels marked with tape saying "radioactive," and plastic bags of yellow powder sealed with the same type tape. The fact that Libya might have radioactive material is not a surprise: In 2004, the the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) confirmed that the Libyan government had yellowcake stored in Sabha. Even so, Cirincione seconded the sentiment that the discovery was cause for alarm. NTC fighters capture parts of Libya's Sabha - Africa. Tens of thousands of civilians trapped in areas still held by the forces of Muammar Gaddafi are in increasing danger from heavy fighting and siege-like shortages of food, water and medical care, Libya's National Transitional Council (NTC) has said.
Hundreds of families fled "unbearable" conditions in the Gaddafi stronghold of Sirte on Monday, while the NTC said it had captured the airport and other strategic parts of the southern town of Sabha. During a news conference in Tripoli, Colonel Ahmed Bani, military spokesman of the NTC, said a "human tragedy" is unfolding in Bani Walid where Gaddafi's forces have put up fierce resistance for nearly a week. "They have stolen all supplies from the residents of the town and they are shooting everyone who is showing support for the revolutionaries. They show no mercy, not even for woman and children," Bani said. "For us, this is proof that the Gaddafi forces are trying to destroy the city before it will be liberated. " 'Saving lives' Residents stranded.

Mustafa Abdul Jalil told the BBC that the ousted leader was in southern Libya and planning revenge attacks.

Meanwhile, senior officials from Nato countries are due to visit Tripoli. "We say to the leaders coming tomorrow (Thursday) that they will be safe," Mr Abdul Jalil said. Earlier, the US said it was encouraged by the increasing control the NTC was exercising over security forces in the country.

Global Research Editor’s Note Reports from Tripoli confirm an axeceedingly large number of civilian casualties. There have been bombing raids on Libya since the onset of the NATO led war. In the last week, however, the raids on Tripoli, targetting primarly civilians, creating an atmosphere of generalised panic, were used to support the Transiitonal Council Rebels.
Over 20,000 sorties since March 31, in excess of 8000 strike sorties. Examine the characteristics of the allied fighter jets and bombers, How many missiles and bombs per plane. Canadian jet fighters have taken on about 8-10 percent of the total strike sorties (of the order of 8000) with over 733 bombing strikes. Michel Chossudovsky, Global Research, August 26, 2011 Canadian fighter jets were in the air again this week, striking at the Gaddafi regime’s tanks and artillery, part of this country’s surprisingly substantial contribution to the five-month-long NATO bombing campaign in Libya.

5 September 2011Last updated at 20:00 David Cameron on "removing any stain from Britain's reputation" Allegations that MI6 was involved in the rendition of Libyan terror suspects will be examined by an existing inquiry, David Cameron has said. It comes after papers suggesting close ties between MI6, the CIA and the Gaddafi regime were found in Tripoli. Sir Peter Gibson's inquiry into alleged involvement in torture by UK security agencies has said it will investigate. A former Libyan foreign minister has claimed MI6 was co-operating with the old regime until about six months ago. Meanwhile UK officials, including staff from the Foreign Office and Department for International Development, have arrived in Tripoli to re-establish a diplomatic presence in Libya. "My concern throughout has been not only to remove any stain on Britain's reputation but also to deal with these accusations of malpractice so as to enable our security services to get on with the vital work that they do.

Captured CIA Documents Detail Rendition To Libya To "Enhanced Interrogation" Libya: Gaddafi regime's US-UK spy links revealed. 4 September 2011Last updated at 02:19 Peter Bouckaert of Human Rights Watch: "The CIA sent the questions" US and UK spy agencies built close ties with their Libyan counterparts during the so-called War on Terror, according to documents discovered at the office of Col Gaddafi's former spy chief.
The papers suggest the CIA abducted several suspected militants from 2002 to 2004 and handed them to Tripoli. The UK's MI6 also apparently gave the Gaddafi regime details of dissidents. The documents, found by Human Rights Watch workers, have not been seen by the BBC or independently verified. Meanwhile, the head of Libya's interim governing body, the National Transitional Council, said its soldiers were laying siege to towns still held by Col Gaddafi's forces. Mustafa Abdel Jalil said Sirte, Bani Walid, Jufra and Sabha were being given humanitarian aid, but had one week to surrender.

Al Jazeera slanders Kucinich in an effort to delegitimize his opposition to the unauthorized war in Libya. Madison Ruppert, Contributing WriterActivist Post The prolific propaganda house out of Qatar known as al Jazeera is at it again, this time claiming that an internal Libyan document offers proof of how Dennis Kucinich was attempting to build up a defense for Gaddafi’s second son, Saif al-Islam.
Their coverage of this also emphasizes that Kucinich was looking for evidence of the rebels’ ties to al Qaeda. However, they paint this as if Kucinich was looking for “any possible links within rebel ranks to al-Qaeda” in order to defend Saif al-Islam and sue the United States, NATO and United Nations. One must question the legitimacy of anything presented by the rebels, as they are admitted liars who will happily deceive the international community so long as it serves their interests.
Of course the al Jazeera coverage made it appear that Kucinich had a close relationship with the Gaddafi regime and was attempting to work with them to provide a defense for Saif al-Islam in the ICC. How far Gadhafi went to monitor Libya's Internet activity - TNW Middle East. It’s no surprise that Libya’s former leader Gadhafi was using technology to spy on his people. As Libyan rebels take over his headquarters in Tripoli, we get to find out exactly how the government was keeping tabs on its citizens.
The Wall Street Journal was able to get a firsthand look at a room filled with secrets about secrets. A repository of training manuals bearing the name Amesys, a unit of a French tech firm, Bull SA. The infiltrated emails found are chilling, and evidence of just how closely Gadhafi’s government was watching the opposition’s every move. Libyan officials are known to have met with various international companies to implement a filtering and monitoring system that ran deep through Libya’s Internet system. There have been no sales or deployments of Narus technology in Libya. Judging by the manuals in the elaborate Tripoli Internet monitoring center, one would guess that Amesys wasn’t so innocent.

Using port mirroring (sometimes called Span Port) is a very common way, as well as an optical splitter. Deep Packet Inspection (and filtering) enables advanced network management, user service, and security functions as well as internet data mining, eavesdropping, and internet censorship. Although DPI technology has been used for Internet management for many years, some advocates of net neutrality fear that the technology may be used anticompetitively or to reduce the openness of the Internet.[2] DPI is used in a wide range of applications, at the so-called "enterprise" level (corporations and larger institutions), in telecommunications service providers, and in governments.[3] Background[edit] DPI-enabled devices have the ability to look at Layer 2 and beyond Layer 3 of the OSI model.
