Gaddafi's forces have reportedly kidnapped two daughters of the Libyan leader's former aide, Noura al-Masmari, after he spoke on Al Jazeera yesterday. They were allegedly forced to denouce their father on Libya's state TV. His lawyer told the AFP agency:
Two of Mr al-Masmari's daughters have just been abducted by men working for Mr Gaddafi - and forcibly taken to the television [station] to deny their father's statements. They are still in the hands of Muammar Gaddafi's men, which shows there's a will for reprisals.
Anti-Gaddafi protesters have reportedly taken control of the eastern cities of Benghazi, Sirte and Tobruk, as well as Khoms, Misrata, Tarhounah, al Zawiya, Zenten and Zouara, 120 kms west of Tripoli.
