Here’s a real surprise, situation in Libya isn’t as clear as previously reported.

Throughout the Libya war, there has been quite a bit of skepticism about who the rebels being armed were exactly and whether they could govern Libya after Gaddafi was defeated. A political body to represent the rebels, the National Transitional Council (NTC), began to solidify early in the conflict. Its leader, Mustafa Abdul Jalil, has been chairman of the NTC since February. Jalil was Libya’s justice minister, who was sent to deal with the uprising in Benghazi when it began. Jalil “quit in protest” after witnessing the “excessive use of violence against unarmed protesters.”

Libyans who planned to protest in Tripoli after Friday prayers were met with gunfire as they left their mosques.

There are multiple reports of fighter jets firing on protesters in Tripoli as well as continued reports of live fire in the capital city. The Guardian includes a report of naval bombardment, as well.
