The Libyan branch of Al-Qaeda suffered a set back in their advance on Col. Mumar Qadddafi’s home town Sitre. Forces loyal to the Libyan government defeated the Islamic rebels at Bin Jawwad, a small town on the road to Qaddafi’s home town. This is set back for the “International Community’s” illegal and immoral war on Libya.
BIN JAWWAD, Libya – Libyan government tanks and rockets blunted a rebel assault on Moammar Gadhafi’s hometown of Sirte on Tuesday and drove back the ragtag army of irregulars, even as world leaders prepared to debate the country’s future in London.
Rockets and tank fire sent Libya’s rebel volunteers in a panicked scramble away from the front lines, before the opposition was able to bring up truck mounted rocket launchers of their own and return fire.

In an open letter to the international community, meanwhile, Gadhafi called for a halt to the “monstrous assault” on Libya and maintained that that the rebels were supported by the al-Qaida terrorist network.
“What is happening now is providing a cover for al-Qaida through airstrikes and missiles to enable al-Qaida to control North Africa and turn it into a new Afghanistan,” he said, accusing the international community of carrying out genocide against the Libyans.
This is huge blow to The Progressive-Islamic Axis and their designs on Libya. Expect the British and French to get their lackey Obama to order increased air strikes against Qaddafi’s forces. The Popular Uprising is now facing difficulties.
Update: One of the Libyan Rebl leaders admits AL-Qaeda ties.
Abdel-Hakim al-Hasidi, the Libyan rebel leader, has said jihadists who fought against allied troops in Iraq are on the front lines of the battle against Muammar Gaddafi’s regime.
This is who we are aiding. People with the blood of Americans on their hands.
