Libya Charges NATO Massacre of Religious Leaders

Libya Charges NATO Massacre of Religious Leaders

www.srilankaguardian.org

According to the charges made by Moussa Ibrahim, on Friday, May 13, over 150 of Libya’s most senior Imam’s gathered in Brega to hold a peace conference on how to end the fighting in Libya....

Early during the evening of Friday, May 13, NATO forces bombed the conference site killing at least ten and hospitalizing over 40 Imams. Libyan television showed the site, which was clearly demolished.

I'm just curious whether this is broad casted in MSM. The source does mention that "Only BBC World carried a short clip of the press conference which was ignored by all other international news channels". (same source as above)

Why would they bomb a peace conference site? This doesn't make sense to me.

To opinionize this, I will lay down my own perspective. The main reason for this bombing could be to stop any attempt to bring peace, the West's goal is to topple the Libyan regime, even though they didn't enter this war based on that pretext.

Imams were planning to send a peace delegation to Benghazi after the conference, which explains why Brega was chosen as the site of conference. Brega is closest government held town to Benghazi.

This is the first I read or heard about this.

Truly disgusting, if this is a true report.

NATO is surely there for something else than helping poor oppressed people whose government is evil. There's always some sort of economic or strategic reasoning behind these actions.

I'm sure a UN investigation will find that they were harboring terrorists or had bombs at that location or were actually terrorists themselves or...
There are many lies the media/UN can/will/do use.
Abolish the UN/NATO.
End the fed.
Plant a garden.

You have my applause on that, pal.
There is no second line....

how can it be a peace conferance when those imams are stating that all the non-believers have to die... and sharia law must be applied everywhere?

Not much peace to talk about when your end game is all of them dead or enslaved to your god....

Its like israel peace talks..... Israel CANT have peace talks either... because their religion states that everyone has to hate them and then god will come and murder all the unbelievers..

I don't believe that is the issue here, the issue is dropping bombs on a group of men at peace and talking.
Considering it is a no fly zone they are doing a hell of a lot of no drive,no boating, no walking,no flying zone.
This UN thing is a vague attempt at a smokescreen, yet we allow it to happen.
They are almost in the open about it and they know and don't care.
I sure wish the populace would hurry up and wake up to what is going on.

I bet Fox, CNN, BBC, Yahoo, CBS, NBC, ect ect ect will make absolutely no mention of this what-so-ever.

Anyone want to take that bet?

I picked up on this story here, looks like NATO has hit other very non-military targets as well:

The World Green Book Centre, a centre for scholarly research on democracy, was also bombed by NATO completely destroying the main building and leaving only the library standing. Around eight people were there and there is no information if any of them survived as the building was destroyed in the attack.

Adam King, an Australian director of the Green Book Centre, said that the attack makes a mockery of the claim of the NATO western countries to be promoting democracy in Libya. He said that this criminal act should be condemned by all educational establishments worldwide.

I'm just curious, if you didn't read this in the MSM, then I wonder if you are aware of this bombing:

"NATO has bombed the police and anti-corruption agency headquarters in an attempt to destroy evidence of Libyan rebel corruption."

Why would you bomb the police and anti-Corruption agency headquarters? There is a video in the source confirming the attack.

Why do you think they would bomb a peace conference site? Because those killed are intelligent men who hold a large amount of influence. If they want these "rebels," to succeed, they have to take out all their opposition. Which is what they are trying to do. They have already convinced their desired amount of people that the revolution that has been orchestrated and have had very little problems so far. All problems seem to be internally. I don't understand how Venezeula, Iran, North Korea, Sudan, and Cuba don't try to stop this from happening. Unless they secretly have, because those countries are next.

S & F. more people need to see this

Yup right on the money CNN is always and has been one sided in wars, including on the libya war, CNN has since the start popping up sweet, puppy loving news reports and specials news clips of the rebels, how they are claiming they are only ordinary fighters fighting for freedom, surprising speaking in prefect English.

Good for them i hope the charges stick like sh.t nato have well and truly over stepped the mark with this bombing they seem to get away with murder but to nato the show still go's on .

Here's why:

Publicly, the regime has vehemently attacked Nato for bombing sites it variously describe as either “civilian, or non-military”. Libyan government spokesman, Moussa Ibrahim, described as “murderous and barbaric” the strike on the Brega guest house which killed the Imams.

But on Saturday a Dutch engineer, Freek Landmeter, claimed he had built a large bunker for the Gaddafi regime underneath the site in 1988. Landmeter provided GPS co-ordinates for the project which matched those provided by the regime on Friday for the guest house.

Now why would they allow Imams to stay there? Hmm that's a toughy.

Any ways to confirm that? At the moment all we know is a peace conference being bombed. For the sake of argument, if Freek is telling the truth, then why did they bombed the alleged bunker when the peace conference was being held? Do you suppose the bunker was built the same day as the conference? Do you think NATO was aware of the peace conference?

And according to Mr. Freek the bunker is nuke proof, it can stand a nuclear bunker buster, do you think NATO used a nuke?

A lot of questions comes to mind.

Edit to Add,

Just saw NATO ground forces operating along side the rebels in a video broad-casted in Al-Jazeera live streaming.

This is interesting because it shows that NATO did not enter for humanitarian reason, rather to support the rebels, and get them to topple the Libyan regime. The video shows foreign armed men amongst the rebels in the front line, when they see that they are being recorded they try to hide.

The UN/NATO/USA/EU need gadaffi gone otherwise we will become third world nations with nothing while the east becomes the future super power.

This has nothing to do with peace....Gadaffi was going to change the way oil was purchased....gold dinars instead of US Dollars. Saddam did the same thing/wanted the same thing and he recieved sanctions and then they were invaded....same thing different country.

"HRI said it has convincing evidence"

All i needed to see. Moving along.

Wow, the rest of the world should go against those powers.
You think I would care much if we didn't have oil, we would only have to change our ways and go with water energy.

I swear this is the kind of stuff that pisses me off. They were not a military target. I would not feel any remorse if someone nuked the Vatican and every major NATO city. I would feel absolutely ZERO remorse because it was coming. This is the kind of thing that breeds hatred of USA/NATO of their. Then when they do something everyone does not realize what the reason behind it was because they are not shown the war instead they are watching family guy, american idol.

This is of course assuming that there was a conference there and it isn't all a load of arse. More info here:

The Brega Bunker And How We Found It

Within an hour or so of the Brega air strike report, I began to get tweets from various Libyans who follow me. They all suggested that they knew of a bunker in Brega, but didn't know where it was. One of the tweets made some mention of a Dutch construction company being involved. So I did something very simple, but seemingly rather effective. I typed "Brega Bunker Dutch" into Google. I soon found an interview with an engineer called Freek Landmeter. It was in Dutch sadly. But with the help of followers on Twitter I soon had a translation. Mr Landmeter had built a bunker in Brega in 1988. In the interview he gave the exact coordinates for the location of the bunker.

It was time to find the Libyan Government spokesman again. "Can I have the exact coordinates of the Brega guesthouse please Moussa?" I asked him. "Of course. You must expose what NATO has done." he said to me. He promised I'd have the coordinates by the morning. He stuck to his word and the next morning, the coordinates were produced. [picture] My colleague, cameraman Phil Hooper and I entered the two sets of coordinates into Google Earth. The Libyan government guesthouse was just metres from the Dutch engineer's bunker. (Guesthouse - purple pin in below image, Bunker - red pin).

Following a quick search on Twitter (and help from Emily Matthews, a deputy news editor in London) we had contacted and interviewed the engineer, Freek Landmeter, on Skype from his home in The Netherlands - and we still haven't left our hotel. He confirmed all the details we needed. [picture]

Back to the Government spokesman. "Moussa, I have had a chat with a man who built a bunker in Brega in 1988. He has given me the coordinates for its location. They match the ones you have given me for your guesthouse." "I know nothing about bunkers in Brega but that is not the point. Religious leaders were killed in the horrendous attack," he told me.

More confirmation than that will have to wait until journalists can properly investigate the area. Whether or not NATO knew about the presence of the alleged Imams is total guesswork but that they would specifically target religious leaders during a peace conference couldn't be any less plausible; the area was clearly hit for other reasons regardless of whether or not the Imams or the peace conference even existed.

Do you suppose the bunker was built the same day as the conference? And according to Mr. Freek the bunker is nuke proof, it can stand a nuclear bunker buster, do you think NATO used a nuke?

The guest-house was built above the bunker. Landmeter claims to have been involved in building both. It may have been nuke-proof (barring a direct hit I expect), but it won’t have been 'bunker buster'-proof.

The internet connection where I am isn’t good enough to watch live streams so I can’t unfortunately, but I have heard about this. They could be PMCs who have been working with news teams for a while now, or they could be FACs which isn't anything to get excited about either.

A friend of mine spent about a month with rebels in Misrata working as a journalist and according them there were several Frog DGSE FACs and a Brit or two in the area. He even heard them over the net. A few funny stories there but that's off topic!
