Libyan civilians accuse NATO of massacre in raids!
SYDNEY, Australia (PNN) - October 2, 2011 - Civilians pouring out of the besieged city of Sirte, Libya, accused NATO of genocide Saturday as terrorist rebel forces called in reinforcements and prepared for a fresh assault on Moammar Qaddafi’s home town.
Long lines of civilian vehicles were leaving after a night of NATO air attacks on the town. The people leaving the town, many looking scared, said conditions inside Sirte were disastrous. They made claims, which if verified, are a challenge for NATO, which operates under a UN mandate to protect civilians - claiming NATO bombing raids have hit homes, schools and hospitals.
“It was worse than awful,” said Riab Safran, 28, as his car was searched by rebel fighters outside Sirte. His family slept on the beach because the houses were being bombed, he said. “They hit all kinds of buildings - schools, hospitals,” he said.
He could not distinguish between NATO bombs and the terrorist rebel’s shells, he said, but believed it was a NATO bomb that destroyed his home on Saturday.
NATO said its war planes bombed a number of military targets, including a rocket launcher, artillery and ammunition stores.
Some of those interviewed said Qaddafi forces were making people stay in the city. Others said residents were frightened of the terrorist rebel fighters, who were reported to be abducting women from cars trying to leave Sirte.
Residents said power and water had run out and gasoline was 88 Libyan dinars ($72) a liter. The water shortage has produced an epidemic of diseases, according to medical staff at a clinic in the town of Harawa, 25 miles east of Sirte.
But Qaddafi forces had supplies of ammunition, pasta, oil, flour and food, residents said. They used an open radio channel to taunt the terrorist rebels, insisting the city would never be taken.
The de facto prime minister, terrorist Mahmoud Jibril, asked the UN Security Council to lift some of the economic sanctions on Libya but said NATO should stay until civilians were no longer being killed.
