Mail Online ^

Colonel Gaddafi suffered a massive personal setback today when one of his sons was allegedly killed in a suicide air mission on his barracks.

Khamis, 27, who runs the feared Khamis Brigade that has been prominent in its role of attacking rebel-held areas, is said to have died on Saturday night.

A Libyan air force pilot crashed his jet into the Bab al-Aziziya compound in Tripoli in a kamikaze attack, Algerian TV reported following an unsubstantiated claim by an anti-Gaddafi media organisation.

Khamis is alleged to have died of burns in hospital. The regime denied the reports.

It was claimed he died in the same compound hit by RAF cruise missiles hit by coalition forces last night.

Who knows if it's true. Daily Mail is usually reliable, but given the region, rumors are not uncommon.

Kamikaze? or was it shot down?...................

[Pan_Yan]

That would mean there were Libyan aircraft, from one side or the other, up on Saturday night. I’d lean towards a cruise missile.

No matter the outcome of this conflict, the United States should take Gaddafi’s frozen assets to pay for it.

The company that makes these parts, Raytheon?, should make a massive print of this picture and hang it up in their factory as a morale booster.

How many males in Libya are Gaddaffi’s sons anyway?

[Ooh-Ah]

Was he adopted after his death as Gaddafi’s daughter was after the 1986 raid in which she allegedly died?

Dunno, but maybe we can bring it down to zero by the time the war is over?

Very likely parts from a Williams F107 engine.

The Williams F107 (company designation WR19) is a small turbofan engine made by Williams International. The F107 was designed to power cruise missiles. It has been used as the powerplant for the AGM-86 ALCM, and BGM-109 Tomahawk, as well as the experimental Williams X-Jet flying platform.

No-- Kamikaze pilots were Japanese-

The article is kind of here and there on the facts. Maybe it was a plane, or maybe a missile, maybe he’s dead, maybe he’s not...

RAF cruise missile? Doubtful, @2900lbs a TLAM or ALCM @3200lbs doesn’t fit well with the payload allowable on a Tornado, much less a Typhoon.

There are two choices when it comes to cruise missiles. A USN ship/sub or the HMS submarine.

The Shadow Storm is an air launched RAF cruise missle that is perfectly able to be carried on a fighter aircraft.

This is why i was for letting them kill each other.

We could of just been spectating.

Now we have to support crazy fanatics, of the muslim kind.

This is not a good sign of things to come.
