Airstrikes against protesters in Lybia

While Gaddafi and his mercennaries and some loyal soldiers are killing Lybian people randomly, indiscriminately,coverage of the events remains unsatisfying, Nytimes is basically recycling the same information over and over again...so did alJazeera english channel last night...apparently the online foreign correspondent is CNN's Ben Wedeman who entered the country via the Egyptian border last night.

Several senior Libyan officials broke with Col. Muammar el-Qaddafi, as forces loyal to him struck back at mounting protests against his 40-year rule.
 
In the capital, government buildings on Monday were in flames and police were noticeably absent after the son of the Libyan leader raised the threat of Western “colonization” if protesters threw off his father’s rule.
 
Deep cracks have opened in the regime with officials quiting, pilots defecting and a bloody crackdown on protests.
