DTN News - BATTLE FOR LIBYA: Touring The Rubble After A NATO Bombardment - DiManno....NSI News Source Info # 2056

(NSI News Source Info) TORONTO, Canada / TRIPOLI, Libya - June 8, 2011:

The golf buggy is a twisted skeleton of metal.

A once ornate silk rug is shredded to rags.

And all that’s left of the Bedouin tent is its scorched earth footprint.

When Moammar Gadhafi goes desert Arab — his preferred home-away-from-home accommodation — it is to venues such as this man-made oasis in the Libyan countryside where he escapes, putting down stakes, reclining on pillows, sheik-y.

“Our leader likes nature in the wide open spaces,’’ explains a man who gives his name as Mohammed Ali, waving an arm across the smouldering expanse of the encampment.

NATO bombardiers found it, nailed it, obliterated it.
