Here is a story from Iyad Elbaghdadi, who is reporting on events in Libya. He has very good sources and a sound knowledge of the area. Iyad is a good example of the the value of new media in today's changing world.
This is from Iyad's twitter feed http://twitter.com/iyad_elbaghdadi
If Sirt would join the revolution, it would be a game changer, allowing free movement from the east to the west, esp. Misurata. #Libya
This is significant because revolutionary forces are reported to be within 150 kms from Sirt right now. #Libya
But with these new revelations, it seems that an approach by revolutionary forces towards Sirt may tip the city over to the uprising. #Libya
Previously, there were voices calling to completely avoid attacking Sirt, afraid that a bloody tribal battle will ensue...#Libya
The humiliating defeat of the Saadi brigade today in Ras Lanuf also helps increase probability of uprising in Sirt. #Libya
With Furjan soldiers slaying, a significant population of Sirt appears ready to join the revolution as it approaches. #Libya
Now it appears that Sirt has been ready for revolt, but the presence of the Saadi brigade prevented that. #Libya
It appears now that these were soldiers who refused to comply, many of them Furjan. #Libya
When revolutionaries entered the Ras Lanuf army camp, they found 20+ bodies of soldiers with their hands tied behind their back. #Libya
For a little background, the Furjan tribe have a presence in Tarhuna, Sirt, and Ajdabia. #Libya
We also reported that elements of the Furjan tribe have joined the revolution, esp. in Tarhuna. #Libya
