Search web search Home Singapore Asia Pacific World Business Entertainment Sports Technology Weekend Edition Africa Europe Latin America Middle East North America Libya: live report AFP - 32 minutes ago Send IM Story Print 1534 GMT Following on from the announcement that two US warships have entered the Mediterranean Sea en route to Libya, we have news coming in from Ottawa of Canadian reinforcements to follow. The war ship HMCS Charlottetown has set sail from the port of Halifax in eastern Canada to join the US-led flotilla off the coast of Libya. The 134-meter (440-foot) patrol frigate carrying 225 sailors and a Sea King helicopter on deck is expected to meet up next week with the USS Kearsarge, an amphibious assault ship accompanied by two other vessels. 1527 GMT More details are coming in on estimates from the Libyan Human Rights League that 6,000 people have been killed in Libya since the start of the revolt. Ali Zeidan, a spokesman for the group, tells AFP reporters in Paris that 3,000 are thought to have died in the capital Tripoli, 2,000 in the rebel-held second city Benghazi and 1,000 in other cities. "This is what people told us, but it can be more," he adds. Diplomats have said that between 1,000 and 2,000 people have been killed in the rebellion, although precise figures are hard to come by because of the situation on the ground. Zeidan says thousands of mercenaries were deployed in Libya, including 3,000 in Tripoli and 3,000 just outside it, allegedly being commanded by officers from Libya's southern neighbour, Chad. 1521 GMT Moamer Kadhafi has appointed new interior and justice ministers to replace men who resigned and joined the insurrection against him, state television reports. One of the defecting officials, former justice minister Mustapha Abdel Jalil, is heading a new national council set up by rebels in eastern Libya. He will be replaced by Ahmad al-Qmouidi, while Massoud Abdel Hafiz replaces Abdel Fatah Younes as interior minister. The marathon speech broadcast by Kadhafi on state TV earlier finally wrapped up after two-and-a-half hours. Among other things, the Libyan leader used the speech to challenge calls for him to step down, saying he has "no real power." 1509 GMT More coming in from our correspondent in Brega who has been speaking to Khalid al-Quafi, a worker at the Sirte oil company compound. Al-Quafi was originally responsible for health and safety at the plant, but since the revolt has been looking after workers staying there, our reporter says. Describing this morning's attack by pro-Kadhafi fighters, Al-Quafi says: "They came at 6:30 am and shot the people guarding the gate. When I heard the fire, I climbed up the Uria (fertiliser) tower. I saw everything. They killed the two people at the gate, the two of them young boys. After 45 minutes, they left the compound." 1500 GMT Libyan dissidents who control part of the country's east are calling for the UN to order air strikes on pro-Kadhafi mercenaries, AFP's correspondent in Benghazi reports. 1444 GMT At least 6,000 people have died since the start of the Libyan revolt two weeks ago, a spokesman for the Libyan Human Rights League says. 1442 GMT The World Food Programme launches a $38 mln emergency aid plan for Libya for 2.7 million people caught up in the Libyan crisis. Emergency food supplies have been shipped to the Tunisian border. 1439 GMT Denmark earmarks eight million euros in emergency aid for refugees massing on Libya's borders with Egypt and Tunisia. The European Union said earlier it would triple its crisis funds from three to10 million euros as London and Paris waded in to help. The UN High Commissioner for Refugees says close to 100,000 people -- mainly foreign migrants -- have fled Libya in a week, warning that food and shelter are running short in the border camps. 1431 GMT This from our correspondent in Benghazi... Libya's former justice minister Mustafa Abdel Jalil is to chair a 30-member "national council" being set up by dissidents who control the east of the country. 1427 GMT Two US warships -- the USS Kearsage and the USS Ponce -- have entered the Mediterranean Sea carrying marines and equipment en route to Libya, the Suez Canal Authority confirms. The Kearsage amphibious ready group -- with about 800 marines, a fleet of helicopters and medical facilities -- could support humanitarian efforts as well as military operations. 1424 GMT The International Criminal Court is to launch a full-scale probe of alleged crimes committed in Libya, AFP reports from The Hague. The chief prosecutor will name all those to be targeted on Thursday. 1420 GMT An AFP reporter at one of the two hospitals in Brega says he saw the bloodied bodies of four young men in a morgue. Rebel volunteer Mashallah Aqub tells him: "there are four more bodies in another morgue and at another hospital and other bodies we haven't been able to collect yet." 1416 GMT More coming in from our correspondent on the explosion in Brega... The blast was heard near the university, one of several locations where rebel fighters say Kadhafi loyalists are holed up. Opposition rebels say they are surrounding regime fighters in the university area and at the gates of the Sirte oil company. Plumes of smoke from shell fire and heavy machine gun fire rattle through Brega, our reporter adds. Rebel fighter Mohammad says: "Now they're limited to the university and the gates of the oil company. Their ammunition is running out. They're firing randomly. We'll take these positions by nightfall." 1408 GMT Tunisia -- whose protests sparked the wave of unrest in the region -- has freed all of its 800 political prisoners , a lawyer with the International Association for the Support of Political Prisoners tells AFP. They were released as part of an amnesty declared on January 20, nearly a week after the fall of president Zine El Abidine Ben Ali. They were released in terms of an amnesty declared on January 20, nearly a week after the fall of authoritarian Ben Ali in an uprising that sparked similar protests across the Arab world. 1359 GMT A loud explosion has rocked Brega, where regime loyalists continue to clash with opposition rebels, our correspondent there reports, describing "a plume of smoke rising into the sky". 1355 GMT AFP's correspondent in Ajdabiya puts the death toll in Brega at "at least 10". The BBC earlier cited medical sources who said 14 had died in the attack by Kadhafi's troops on the eastern Libyan oil port. Rebels say they managed to repel the troops in what seems to have been one of the biggest counter attacks since the uprising against Kadhafi's rule erupted on February 15. 1341 GMT Back in Tripoli, Kadhafi has been speaking for around two hours. In further threats to the West, he warns: "All the Libyan people will take up arms to foil any attempt to threaten our oil. Let all those who threaten our oil hear this. We will get Chinese and Indian companies instead of Western companies." 1333 GMT On a lighter note, a namesake of embattled Moamer Kadhafi has rushed to change his name in "solidarity" with the Libyan people, an Emirati newspaper reports. The 40-year-old Sudanese Moamer Kadhafi, who lives in Sharjah in the United Arab Emirates, wanted to change his name "in solidarity with the Libyans whose blood was shed", the daily Emarat Alyoum said. "After what happened, especially when he (Kadhafi) described his people as 'rats', and started facing peaceful protesters with planes and tanks... this made me feel that the name has become a curse I should get rid of," the paper cites the man as saying. 1318 GMT An update on the situation in the east of Libya, where Kadhafi forces earlier stormed the oil port of Brega... Fourteen people have died in fighting between Libyan forces and the opposition there, the BBC reports, citing medical sources. 1306 GMT In the UK Prime Minister David Cameron is the latest leader to offer assistance to refugees fleeing Libya. Britain will airlift home thousands of Egyptians from the Tunisian border, he says, withthe first flight scheduled to set off from the UK later today. "These people shouldn't be kept in transit camps if it's possible to take them back to their home." 1259 GMT Kadhafi vows to "fight to the last man and last woman" as his lengthy televised speech in front of dozens of supporters in Tripoli plods on. He warns the West against intervening to support the rebellion against him, saying that would unleash a "very bloody war" in which "thousands of Libyans would die." 1251 GMT In an announcement that is likely to further ease the markets, the head of the International Energy Agency (IEA) says Saudi Arabia is capable of offsetting any shortfall in global oil supplies due to the turmoil in Libya. Saudi Arabia "can supply any gap. Even if Libya may stop exportation totally ... Saudi (Arabia) can offset or Saudi (Arabia) can (make up) ... this oil demand," Nobuo Tanaki tells reporters in Warsaw. 1243 GMT From our economics desk... World oil prices seem to be steadying, after rocketing last week as a result of the turmoil in North Africa and the Middle East. Brent North Sea crude for delivery in April has eased six cents to $115.36 per barrel, while New York's light sweet crude for April, known as West Texas Intermediate (WTI), gained 25 cents to $99.88 per barrel, after earlier trading above the key $100 mark. 1238 GMT More on Kadhafi's speech to supporters in Tripoli, which has been rumbling on for the best part of an hour... The Libyan leader claims the country's oil production is "at its lowest" due to an uprising by Al-Qaeda "gangs." 1229 The European Union has decided to triple emergency aid to north Africa after sending its aid chief to the region to assess the situation, AFP reports from Brussels. The UN refugee agency earlier warned of a pending humanitarian crisis, as refugees pour out of Libya -- an estimated 150,000 have fled already into Egypt and Tunisia, it said. 1222 GMT European Commission president Jose Manuel Barroso calls on Kadhafi to step down and "give the country back to the people of Libya." "Colonel Kadhafi is part of the problem, not part of the solution," Barroso tells a news conference in Brussels. "It is time for him to go and give the country back to the people of Libya, allowing democratic forces to chart out a future course," he adds. 1216 GMT In Europe, France says it plans to send heavy-lift planes and a ship to create a land and sea bridge to ferry 5,000 Egyptian refugees fleeing Libya home from the Tunisian border. Foreign ministry spokesman Bernard Valero says Paris is also seeking ways "to send tents and emergency supplies to vulnerable people who have not yet left Libya." 1207 GMT Elsewhere, Arab League chief Amr Mussa says the situation in Libya is "catastrophic" as foreign ministers meeting in Cairo prepare to reject foreign military intervention. "The situation in Libya is catastrophic, and we should not accept it," Mussa tells the meeting, attended by foreign ministers and representatives of the 22-member body. "Arab lives are valuable," he adds. Mussa's chief of staff said earlier that the Arab diplomats would reject any foreign intervention in the oil-rich country. "The Arab League council will issue a resolution stressing Arab rejection of any foreign military intervention in Libya," said Hesham Youssef. 1202 GMT The Libyan leader continues in characteristic rambling style, saying that Libya's "history... glory... pride... peace... abundance... friendship" are under attack. He again blames Al Qaeda for this assault, claiming that cells linked to the group have infiltrated the country. He goes on to warn that Libya is "ready to thwart any attack from abroad". 1155 GMT In one of his trademark anecdotes, Kadhafi, recounting a meeting with supporters, says: "The people told me that they were ready to die for me." A crowd of supporters inside the building respond by chanting slogans, among them "We swear by God, we can never abandon our leader." 1149 GMT The Libyan leader returns to a line of argument used in one of his first speeches of the unrest, stressing that he has "no position to resign from". "I am not prime minister, I am not president of the republic," he says. 1143 GMT In an address broadcast on Libyan state TV, Kadhafi congratulates the Libyan people on the anniversary of the creation of the People's Authority in 1977. "I would like to remind the world that since 1977 I have handed over power to the people's committees and congresses," he is cited as saying. "Since that time I haven't exercised any administrative power... we have nothing to do with power at all. "It is the Libyan people who are responsible for administering power." He adds that he will "put two fingers in the eyes of whoever defies the Libyan people". 1128 Moamer Kadhafi appears at a televised public rally in Tripoli among loyalists of his regime as rebels fight back his forces east of the capital, our correspondent in Tripoli reports. 1126 GMT Spain is freezing assets owned by the Kadhafi regime, including a vast tract of land on the Costa del Sol, the government announces. The decision comes in the wake of similar blocks by the United States, Canada, Switzerland, Britain, Austria and Germany, as the West ramps up pressure on the Libyan leader. Spain's Foreign Minister Trinidad Jimenez made the announcement as she flew with Prime Minister Jose Luis Rodriguez Zapatero to Tunisia. It will be the first visit by a Western leader since the ouster of president Zine El Abidine Ben Ali, who fled to Saudi Arabia on January 14. 1115 GMT More on the situation in Brega: Witnesses say Kadhafi forces which stormed the strategic eastern town were repulsed after heavy fighting. Two people were killed in the attacks, they add. Residents said earlier that Kadhafi's men had raided the town with tanks and heavy artillery and that violent fighting had erupted at the port. But Kadhafi's troops have since withdrawn, rebel leaders in nearby Ajdabiya tell AFP. "Brega is now under the full control of the revolution," a police general in Ajdabiya says on condition of anonymity. Mehdi Suleiman Hussein, a fighter from Ajdabiya, confirms that Kadhafi's forces are "pulling back," but says some "mercenaries" are still battling the rebels. 1055 GMT The UNHCR makes a plea for hundreds of planes to end a gridlock at the Tunisia border with Libya, where it says "acres of people" are still waiting to cross in freezing conditions. "My colleague on the ground say that acres of people, as far as you can see, are waiting to cross," UNHCR spokeswoman Sybella Wilkes tells AFP. "There's a huge building and there are thousands behind," she adds. "They are outdoors in the freezing cold, under the rain, many of them have spent three or four nights outside already. "It's really chaotic." Some 77,320 people have already crossed into Egypt, Wilkes says, while a similar number have crossed into Tunisia. "We're looking at over 150,000 people who have fled into the two countries," she estimates. The UN refugees agency is particularly concerned about the situation on the Tunisian side of the border, where a huge transit camp has been set up. Up to 10,000 people spent the night in the tents, squeezed in like sardines to keep out of the rain and cold, the agency says. 1100 GMT Kadhafi's forces have launched air strikes on the rebel-controlled town of Ajdabiya in the east of the country, witnesses tell AFP. According to the BBC, pro-Kadhafi jets bombed an arms dump in city which it says is "in a high state of excitement". 1040 GMT Kadhafi's forces enter the rebel-held eastern town of Brega, sparking fierce clashes, witnesses and opposition sources say. A resident of Brega -- 200 kilometres (125 miles) west of the main eastern city of Benghazi -- tells AFP by phone that Kadhafi's forces stormed the town with tanks and heavy artillery, and describes violent fighting at the port. A doctor in Ajdabiya -- 40 kilometres from Brega -- tells AFP the attack began under cover of darkness: "During the night Kadhafi's forces attacked the airport at Brega where they clashed with the rebels," said Aymane al-Moghrabi. 1030 GMT Several hundred pro-Kadhafi supporters -- some carrying Kalashnikov rifles -- are rallying near the site of a petrol tanker explosion near the compound of the Libyan leader in Tripoli, an AFP reporter says. Flames shot up to four metres (12 feet) in the air after the tanker overturned and split open. The blast happened near a mosque and a hotel but there appeared to be no casualties, according to our correspondent on the ground. 1020 GMT Here is a summary of the latest developments: -- Two US warships carrying marines and equipment have entered the Suez Canal and are heading towards Libya, as the West flexes its military muscle. -- The UN refugee agency has warned that the situation on the Libya-Tunisia border is reaching crisis point as desperate migrant workers flee for safety. More than 100,000 people have already left Libya to escape a vicious crackdown by Kadhafi loyalists which has left at least 1,000 dead, according to conservative UN estimates. -- Western powers are arguing over imposing a proposed no-fly zone over Libya to support rebels fighting Kadhafi's regime. -- Kadhafi opponents are beginning to organise the trappings of parallel government. Rebels in Benghazi said they had formed a military council in the eastern Libyan city, the hotbed of the uprising against Kadhafi's four-decade iron rule.
