granada is right. Qaddhafi ordered his army to shoot Libyan civilians. About 75% of the army refused, desserted and linked up with provincial militias. Qaddhafi then ordered his southern mercenary army to carry out the killings. The mercenaries shot up a bunch of kids at a college, outraging the Libyan people.
The provincial militias organized and attacked Qaddhafi’s mercenaries.
A week earlier the men – Libyan loyalists of the dictator and black African recruits – had been landed at airports throughout eastern Libya and sent out into the streets to shoot protesters in a murderous rampage. They killed dozens before they were overwhelmed by anti-Gaddafi militias.
