A Libyan air force jet bombed a military base outside Ajdabiya, 150 kilometers west of Benghazi
This is a base where heavy weapons and ammunition that belong to the
Libyan military are kept.
This area has a number of military bases that have been abandoned by the Libyan military and are now manned by troops loyal to the protesters.

- France has announced it is sending two planes with humanitarian aid to the eastern Libyan city of Benghazi.Reuters: Anti-Gaddafi protesters have shot down a military aircraft and captured its crew near Misrata, West Libya
Francois Fillon, the French prime minister, said the planes would leave "in a few hours" for Benghazi with doctors, nurses, medicines and medical equipment.
"It will be the beginning of a massive operation of humanitarian support for the populations of liberated territories," he told RTL radio.
- The Reuters news agency reports opponents of the Libyan leader have held off an attack by pro-government forces and shot down a military aircraft near the town of Misurata.
An aircraft was shot down this morning while it was firing on the local radio station. Protesters captured its crew," Reuters reported, citing a witness, Mohamed.
"Fighting to control the military air base (near Misurata) started last night and is still going on. Gaddafi's forces control only a small part of the base. Protesters control a large part of this base where there is ammunition."
"Misurata is still under the control of the protesters," he said.
Russia's foreign minister Sergei Lavrov is addressing the Council meeting now. He said the use of military force against civilians in Libya is unacceptable.
- The Associated Press news agency reports residents of the Libyan capital say prices for basic foods are skyrocketing, and long lines are forming at bakeries for rationed bread.
One resident tells AP that the price of rice, a main staple, has gone up 500 per cent, reaching the equivalent of $40 for a five kilogram bag.
- Another set of photos from Evan Hill, our web producer in Benghazi, where the uprising has left former bastions of the regime's security forces crumbling, burned and littered with official files, some of them containing sensitive information.

Libya - an account from today (PLS Read!)
Friday 25/02/11 (2)
so this is the update for today.. I overslept.. for the lack of food and sleep I missed Juma'ah Prayer..I woke up around 15:00 by a friends call he told me they were in A**** heading to soug al Juma'a ..and they were thousands.. so I followed them but we were stopped in the 4 ways in Arada ..by that time they were in ALtarasana(soug alJumaa) in the 4 ways there was heavy shooting so we had to jump of the car and try the side broken roads.. we made it after that point.. but after 10 mins we had calls that the protest was spread and they are returning..we waited for them we was told this : they gathered after Juma'a Prayer and some of the Military Police sides them ..they didn't want to go with people but they gave them 4 (AK-47) and thousands went from tajoura and the number increased rapidly by every town they went through ... they arrived that point that was like a trap snipers all over the area and soldiers around so they started shooting at ppl and ppl spread the 4 guys who had weapons fought back and they injured one of the snipers but then they are not well trained they wasted the ammo...ppl in there way home were also killed in A**** road bypass and in the 4 ways too the same point that we couldnt go further.. they were going home but they were shot dead there. and many many many ppl died.. it's terrible I know 6 people who died in my Area. some of scared ppl went to houses in soug al Jumaa and stayed there.. some are missed .. there were some kids aswell. I will try to get some footage 2morrow for what happened.
we were stuck in between bifi and the 4 ways in a very shitty area i never been through..but it was safe as the main roads was not safe enough ....however they small resist 4 (AK 47) made it even worse the gaddafi pro forces killed as many as they can. they thought there might be more armed protesters.. however it's like war now.
******* is not free they just backed of to soog aljumaa they can't offer a fight in ..that will be a waste of time for them but they sent their militia like daily..they even ruined the graffiti on gheddafi..

Libya update
"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.
1447 GMT: French President Sarkozy says Kadhafi 'must go'
1438 GMT: Khadafi's son Seif al-Islam tells CNN Turk news channel: "Our plan is to live and die in Libya."
1429 GMT: A Libyan envoy to the UN in Geneva told the Human Rights Council that he and others at the embassy "represent only the Libyan people" and not the regime.
"We in the Libyan mission have categorically decided to serve as representatives of the Libyan people and their free will," said the diplomat.
"We only represent the Libyan people, we will serve as their representative in this august body and in other international fora. Thank you," he added, to applause from the 47 member Human Rights Council.
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.
1420 GMT: Italy and the US share "deep concern about the humanitarian situation in Libya," the US embassy in Rome said as a top State Department official visited the Italian capital.

I'm fine, trying to be careful they were arresting people today. Tonight was quiet but there is too many tanks heading to tripoli from the military base in here. looks like they are also ready for 2morrow!
There was like 20 Tanks heading to His main place in Tripoli ..that from the base in my town only. I'm hoping more army leaders disobey him that would be the key. regarding the Cam-Oba meeting It's so early they should postpone it it'll be on Oil..be we didn't get rid of gheddafi yet. oh we are not relying on them really. they can help us with bombing gheddafi place if they want. Hopefully we get rid of him before their meeting anyway inshallah :)
I hope 2morrow will be the last update about gheddafi and the rest will be about after gheddafi :)

Excerpts from gadaffi speech
What is happening now in Libya is not people's power, it's international terrorism led by al-Qaeda ... All they want is to kill your kids, that's what Bin Laden wants, he should be happy now, that's what he wants.• Young people were being duped with drugs and alcohol to take part in "destruction and sabotage".
They have been brain washing the kids and young people... [the protesters] are trigger happy and they shoot especially when they are stoned with drugs.• The situation in Libya is very different to that in Egypt or Tunisia which have both seen successful revolutions.
There are no queues, people are getting all their daily needs. Why did you have to get involved with this kind of Bin Laden organisation?• He was merely a figurehead like the Queen in the UK and cannot make rules, only offer advice.
The constitution is very clear: take the weapons from them... I only have moral authority.• He did not know when the violence would end but again urged his supporters to take to the streets.
I call on the people of Libya to get out of their houses and confront this bunch of people. If they are not brave enough to go out and face this enemy on the street, maybe they should let their women and their daughters go out.
Libya - Update from Tajoura
unfortunately our town east of tripoli is still under his control :( he is losing it.. but he will not give it up i'm afraid he will order the tanks to bomb us.
very quiet (today)..none outside unlike what gheddafi hoped for a "normal life" everything is closed.
most of the time we go out after 17:00 anyway..i'll be going out later to check what we will be doing. they are still invading our place. so we would probably go around
Thursday 24/02/11 (1)
i don't want to die for nothing..if am gonna die i will die for something worthy. Yesterday when an old man told them to settle ..they refused and said we were just speaking for days and what we did nothing but got killed we want to walk to the base.. i took the mic speaking to them :young men: to be patient they wanted to attack the militia base to get weapons and liberate our city..i told them we all want that but the snipers will shot us like playing COD it'll be fun for them for .. very tall wall tanks and snipers everywhere even if thousands went they wouldn't be able to get in . Tomorrow I will be so cautious so no worries. I hope to see this day: a democratic free Libya!..all Usob will be invited to celebrate in the main sq .

MUST READ - LIBYA UPDATE!!
http://www.unitedshades.org.uk/please-spread-the-message-they-are-being-massacred-and-want-people-to-know.aspx
sorry no to update it's been a busy BLOODY day...
We went out to gather in the city centre as usual with cleaning for the night before mess and organising to help people with food blood donations and everything else. hanging our real Independence flag everything seemed calm people went to pray Maghreb( sun set prayer) in the same time Gheddafi was speaking.
What happened next is people of whom are Gheddafi security men and rest of them got paid ) went out right after gheddafis speech removing the barricades we already set to block the streets and to protect our city .. and they were chanting for gheddafi ..some of us went their way to return everything in it's place they run away leaving their cars which wasn't attack or burned but it was parked in the same roads and used as barricades. However, After an hour or so a bloody militia which is 100% Libyans(not african mercenaries like the last time) and consists of many female fighters having military cars with machine guns plugged came shooting at us we resisted with stones we burned some tyres to block them but that never worked and we had to run most of us made it a live in some places nearby it was dark they can't see us they were shooting everywhere to see where were we hiding.
but a poor guy who is well known he has mental disorder( i can't tel but he's not mentally well) he has been always smiling to ppl he was there he was happy but they got him they fired at him 9 times!! 3 females killed him and danced on his body chanted for gheddafi. we were 10 we couldn't handle it we were crying and we know if we went out we will get killed we don't have nothing to defend with ...we felt like pussies we watched a crime against a poor guy which didn't understand the situation he can't think..he thought they would never shot at him.. he didn't leave his place he was the only man stayed at his place and died. they (gheddafi militia) burned dow our flags threw tear gas everywhere we had to back off we decided to go home but some kept fighting with them. after that we have heard today that he wasn't the only victim a whole family was in their car were killed by the same militia..last night. I'm afraid some of our guys have already gave up we can't win We are all ready to die but we don't want to die for nothing.
i could take some vids and pix for yesterday but before that shit happened because i couldn't have time for it i was throwing stones and running. gheddafi that bastard KILLED innocent women for what for being in her balcony!! nobody wants to kill except him.. i'm really angery that some ppl still fooled by him
"those who are outside of libya have had spoken against gheddafi long time ago must of them were a victims and their families had been killed by this criminal he even sent ppl to murder them there. i for myself will not live in libya if we lost it. i would seek asylum to anywhere. i'd get arrested anyone among the thousands yesterday there would be some hiding gheddafis bastards many took pictures.. but i dont give a fuck anymore we win or die as Omar al Mukhtar said if i didn't die i'll fled ..let this bastard live in here alone ..i'm so so so sick of what i've seen of him"
"we are not wating for anyone to liberate us. but we didn't expect the USA to answer like that.. we just want a warning or something that makes this crazy dictator stop killing all atleast he has no honour killing women and children tooo at him!"

BREAKING NEWS ON ALARABIYA TV: AFRICAN UNION CONDEMNS THE USE OF EXCESSIVE POWER AGAINST CIVILIANS IN LIBYA !
Amazing: I hear by phone that Tajura, Libya , less than 10 miles from Tripoli, has fallen. Rebel flag flying over it.
BREAKING Lebanon has refused a request to accept an aircraft from Libya with members of the Kadhafi family
"Last night Beirut airport received a request to accept an aircraft belonging to the Kadhafi family with several people on board including Aline Skaff, Lebanese-born wife of Kadhafi's son Hannibal," the official said.
"Lebanon rejected this request," the official adds.
Latest from Libya - Tripoli
In the Tripoli neighbourhood of Tajura, streets have been blocked by residents who used chopped down palm trees to build barricades, disregarding Kadhafi's message to remove roadblocks.
Army and police forces are absent today in the main avenue of Gargares, a residential neighbourhood where witnesses told AFP yesterday that they saw tanks patrolling.
1229 GMT:
The AFP correspondent says the capital got off to a quiet start with people queuing up in front of bakeries and cars lined up at petrol stations as usual.
Later in Green Square the government supporters began arriving. Men and children poured out of minibuses while some Kadhafi supporters perched on the roofs of vehicles.
Two or three police cars patrolled the area while police and a few men in civilian clothes armed with Kalashnikovs were deployed at the square.
1225 GMT:
All is quiet in Tripoli's Green Square at midday amid pouring rain, an AFP journalist reports.
A few dozen cars are driving round blasting their horns while pro-government demonstrators wave flags and pictures of Kadhafi, the journalist says.
Israeli President Shimon Peres has condemned violence by Libyan forces against civilians- NO MENTION OF GAZA!!
"He has been the most brutal person in response to the demonstrations (sweeping the Arab world). Kadhafi makes a joke out of all of us. People take him in a humouristic way, but it is not a laughing matter, it is serious."

Latest Libya
The BBC's Mark Gregory has been looking into the Gaddafi regime's wealth: "Libyan cash abroad is held by an organisation called the Libyan Investment Authority - a fund set up about five years ago to manage the country's oil wealth. It's believed to have around $70bn of assets, including - bizarrely - a stake in the company that owns the British business publication the Financial Times. The fund's investments are thought to focus mainly on Italy, where they include a shareholding in a major bank and in Juventus football team."

Hundreds take to streets of Gaza to demonstrate against Gaddafi
Gaza City - Hundreds of Gaza university students and supporters of the Hamas movement took to the streets of Gaza City Wednesday to demonstrate against Moamer Gaddafi, witnesses said.
They burned his picture, and chanted slogans against the Libyan leader, calling on him to step down after 41 years in power.
A protester said they were angered at Gaddafi, and other Arab leaders, for not doing enough to bring about Palestinian statehood.
Hamas, the Islamic movement which has administered the Gaza Strip since June 2007, condemned the violence Libyan forces have used against the demonstrators who are calling for change and the ouster of Gaddafi.
In a statement, Hamas said it 'strongly condemns the massacres, the airstrikes and the artillery fire against the Libyan people carried out by the Libyan regime.'
