Libyan Rebels Continue Advancing

As Libyan rebels continue to make progress toward moving into Tripoli despite heavy casualties.  They have battled west from Misrata toward Zlitan and after six weeks of stalemate, rebels have pushed back the forces of Libyan leader Muammar Gadhafi. Tripoli still remains about 125 miles away. However, Gadhafi continues attacking the opposition on the Libyan frontline by relying on heavy artillery to defend their positions.

Gadhafi supporters rallied in Green Square in Tripoli for Friday prayers underscoring Gadhafi’s refusal to leave Libya.  Gadhafi supporters also turned up in SABHA, 800km to the south in an effort to show that Gadhafi still has support in some areas of Libya.  In a speech on Libyan television, Gadhafi has threatened to take the war in Libya to Europe by sending hundreds of Libyans to Europe to avenge the NATO-led military campaign against him.
