Libya update

456 GMT: According to the Turkish translation of Seif Al-Islam's interview with CNN Turk, Kadhafi's son admitted the regime had lost grip of eastern Libya, but said the authorities would soon regain control of the region. "There are over two million people in this area, the number of terrorists is 200 or 300 at most. People call us and beg for help. ... We cannot allow a handful of terrorists to control that part of Libya and its people," he said.
"Not the army but the whole nation will resolve this problem," he said when asked whether the military could attack the flashpoint city of Benghazi.
Seif al-Islam also accused the media and especially Arab news channel Al Jazeera of "lies" on civilian deaths and the activities of African mercenaries helping the regime.
"All fabricated news come from one channel, Al Jazeera. We know the reason," he said, accusing the channel of "supporting" terrorist groups.

1422 GMT: A cluster of 10 shivering Ghanaians huddle around a fire at a crossing into Egypt, frustrated as they wait to flee the the chaos of Libya but grateful to be safe.
There have been rumours that much of the carnage was carried out by mercenaries from sub-Saharan Africa but the Ghanaians have been helping to build a highway in eastern Libya.
"Yesterday, people threatened us, but we showed our papers and they understood we had nothing to do with it," recalls Mohammad Ibrahim as the men try to ward off the cold.
"We're all Ghanaians, brought here by the Turkish company Yuksel to build a road between Derna and Tobruk," explains a furious but resigned Abdel Samad. "Some of us have been on the job for 18 months, two years even."
"When the trouble started, the bosses promised to get us home, but they just drove us here and dumped us after taking our passports and our money.
"We've been here three days, waiting with photocopies of our passports for the Ghanaian embassy to sort it out," Samad explains.
