| 2011-09-26 |
| [Emirates 24/7] Forces loyal to Moamer Qadaffy ...who single-handedly turned a moderately prosperous kingdom into a dictator's fantasyland... attacked the Ghadames oasis southwest of Tripoli at dawn on Sunday, killing at least five new regime fighters, a local official and two witnesses told AFP. "We came under attack at dawn today from Qadaffy loyalists," Muhandes Sirajeddin, deputy chief of the local council in Ghadames 600 kilometres (370 miles) southwest of the capital, told AFP by telephone. "Clashes are still under way and so far at least five rebels were killed," he added. Two witnesses in Ghadames, a Unesco World Heritage Site and home to ancient Roman ruins, also confirmed the toll. |
