Libyan Doctors for Hospitals in Libya Twitter @DrsForLibyaLIBYA Al Hurra TV For those who know me, I am Martha Joy Sullivan, for those who have met me in the last two weeks, I am Skillethead from LIBYA Al Hurra TV, and for those who follow me on DailyKos.com, I am StepLeftStepForward. Through the amazing efforts of numerous Libyans for a free Libya, and their friends both new and old, I have become a volunteer coordinator in a massive effort to assist the Libyan People in this time of hope and change. I arrived at Mohamed M Nabbous' livestream & chatroom (now: LIBYA Al Hurra TV) shortly after the people had prevailed in the Battle of Benghazi.

Libyans have always opposed foreign occupiers just as the Algerians and the Egyptians and the Yemenis have done – but their Beloved Leader has always presented himself as a fellow resister rather than a dictator. Hence in his long self-parody of a speech in Tripoli yesterday, he invoked Omar Mukhtar – hanged by Mussolini's colonial army – rather than the patronising tone of a Mubarak or a Ben Ali. And who was he going to free Libya from? Al-Qa'ida, of course. Indeed, at one point in his Green Square address, Gaddafi made a very interesting remark. His Libyan intelligence service, he said, had helped to free al-Qa'ida members from the US prison at Guantanamo in return for a promise that al-Qa'ida would not operate in Libya or attack his regime. But al-Qa'ida betrayed the Libyans, he insisted, and set up "sleeper cells" in the country. And many al-Qa'ida members did come from Libya – hence the frequent nomme de guerre of "al-Libi" which they added as a patronymic.

Reporting from London — Three crew members of a Dutch military helicopter have been held since Sunday by forces loyal to Libyan strongman Moammar Kadafi after being prevented from completing an evacuation mission, Dutch defense officials said Thursday.

The three are believed to be the first foreign troops to be held by the Kadafi regime since it began its bloody crackdown against antigovernment protesters, which has drawn international condemnation. The Dutch Defense Ministry said "intensive diplomatic talks" were underway to try to secure the release of the crew, whose identities are not being made public. "We heard that they are being treated well," said Marloes Visser, a spokeswoman for the ministry. "At this moment they're being held by the Libyans, and we're doing everything in our power for a soon and safe release. " But armed Kadafi loyalists prevented the helicopter from taking off from Surt and captured the crew members and the two civilians, the ministry said. henry.chu@latimes.com.
