[url]http://www.undispatch.com/gaddafi-mines-misratas-harbor-using-red-cross-helicopters[/url] [release]Pro-Gaddafi forces have made multiple attempts to cut Misrata’s sea-based lifeline. The harbor area of the city has suffered repeated artillery strikes since the siege began. Furthermore, last Wednesday Gaddafi’s forces launched a rocket attack against a ferry chartered by the IOM to bring food and medical supplies into the city, and evacuate migrant workers still stranded there. Luckily, the ship — which carries a makeshift hospital — was able to leave port without serious damage. [b]Now there are accusations that Gaddafi is employing a new tactic. According to Libyan rebels and at least one aid worker in the city, pro-Gaddafi forces are using helicopters to drop naval mines in the harbor in an attempt to prevent any ships — including those carrying humanitarian supplies — from docking. Worse still, the helicopters are allegedly being disguised with Red Cross and Red Crescent emblems. He said the choppers had been disguised as humanitarian aircraft carrying the emblems of the International Committee of the Red Cross and Red Crescent. “They had Red Crescent and Red Cross markers so that anyone who sees them thinks it is for humanitarian aid,” Fortiya said. NATO has confirmed that unknown helicopters were observed flying over the harbor and came under fire from rebel forces on Thursday and that no humanitarian flights had been scheduled for that day. However, they could not confirm that the helicopter were marked with Red Crosses.[/b] If true — and at this point nothing Gaddafi does surprises me — it would be just one more blatant violation of international humanitarian law by the dictator.[/release] Second source [url]http://www.google.com/hostednews/afp/article/ALeqM5i-gZI_6hGmnPbI1MLAMXWSppP05g?docId=CNG.a740a5ae46d97d889302532f100f898e.5e1[/url] What a ruse.
Shit is about to hit the fan.
That's just bringing someone's hopes and and crashing them down. Now the rebels will have trouble trusting anyone.
Gutless coward! Does he even care how in-humane this is?
I guess we'll have to disguise our helicopters as Libyan then. Or better yet, disguise our helicopters as Libyan helicopters disguised with red crosses!
NATO should give the red cross officials there a code word for their helicopters, so red cross officials can just call their choppers and tell them the code word when asked by NATO, and any of those pro-gadaffi assholes that try to get in without the codeword will get shot down.
Time to kill Ghadaffi.
[QUOTE=The Pretender;29688038]I guess we'll have to disguise our helicopters as Libyan then. Or better yet, disguise our helicopters as Libyan helicopters disguised with red crosses![/QUOTE] Everybody wears white with red crosses everywhere. That'll show 'em.
That's pretty fucked up.
Isn't falsely using protected symbols quite a serious war crime?
He's going to pull off every low move in the book. It's bad enough he is disguising his forces as the Red Cross, what's next? By the time Libya is done, he will be worse of a scum than Hitler, if thats even possible...
[QUOTE=Neo222;29688021]Gutless coward! Does he even care how in-humane this is?[/QUOTE] Obviously not.

Seeing this just looks like a spot of incompetency on NATO's behalf.
Hey, Navy SEAL Team Six. Want another mission?
I know Gaddafi has done some cruel stuff before but, this is insane. what a massive dick.
Hey France How about you 'accidentally' drop one of those concrete bombs right onto Gaddafi's head

bye bye libya
Why do people even support Gaddafi in the first place?
[QUOTE=Jsm;29688124]Isn't falsely using protected symbols quite a serious war crime?[/QUOTE] An extra mark for the general responsible.
I hope someone disguises Gaddafi's wall with red mist and brain matter.
[i]What the fuck does he think he's doing.[/i] Seriously, what the fuck is going through his mind. "Hmm, people might revolt against me... better kill of tons of civilians and commit tons of war crimes. What's the alternative? [i]Stepping down!?[/i] That just won't do." We need someone to assassinate him. With a rocket launcher, preferably. [QUOTE=Badunkadunk;29688366]Why do people even support Gaddafi in the first place?[/QUOTE] Money.

IF I CAN'T HAVE IT, NO ONE CAN! NYEAH!" Then he commits several crimes against humanity and human nature in general.
What a sick fuck.
I am pretty sure he is fucked if he actually disguised the helicopters with crosses.

[QUOTE=Shadow Core;29688011]Shit is about to hit the fan.[/QUOTE] It already did... months ago...
Burn him until his ashes mix with the sand and turn to glass.
That's a brilliant tactic he used.
