Hmmm. There’s an earlier article about Libya’s “unguarded” yellow cake uranium, much sought after by AQ. Russia wanted some UN intervention to prevent AQ from getting it.

“Anti-aircraft weapons” probably means ComBloc 12.7mm MGs, which is their equivalent of a .50 cal BMG. Likely being used in anti-personnel or anti-vehicle mode.

...this does not sound good, what on earth could be the reason why?Libya is disentigrating. The central government doesn't even control Tripoli; oil production has ceased and the eastern half of the country just declared autonomy.
It would take a miracle for full on tribal/ civil war to be averted at this point. In the next month or two some spokesman for the UN will gravely announce that Libya is now officially a failed state.

They are muslims. They don’t need reasons, they need blood. It doesn’t matter whose. Rival gangs. Warlords. Who is flying in or out of Tripoli? Lord only knows at this point.
