Russian Military Says Libyan Airstrikes Did Not Take Place

The reports of Libya mobilizing its air force against its own people spread quickly around the world. However, Russia's military chiefs say they have been monitoring from space - and the pictures tell a different story.

According to Al Jazeera and BBC, on February 22 Libyan government inflicted airstrikes on Benghazi -- the country's largest city -- and on the capital Tripoli. However, the Russian military, monitoring the unrest via satellite from the very beginning, says nothing of the sort was going on on the ground.

At this point, the Russian military is saying that, as far as they are concerned, the attacks some media were reporting have never occurred. The same sources in Russia's military establishment say they are also monitoring the situation around Libya's oil pumping facilities.

America and britain you have succeeded in bamboozling some brainwashed people, but you cant fool everyone, we can see that you have shown your hand with regard to Libya, i pray that you fail in your evil machinations, i pray that you do not succeed in getting your hands on Libyan oil reserves, i pray that you fail in your attempt to recolonise and annex Libya.

"the reported attacks have not yet been made" lol

Now AlJazeera is a part of western Propaganda machine

No surprises here,   soon their going to disprove the "tens of thousands dead" and the "vicious African mercenaries in yellow hats" perhaps the news will even finally stop calling the insurrectionists protesters and refer to them rebels because that's what they are. Its disgusting to see how much the media does the will of the government. I hate the fuggin "west" more and more everyday.

that's not to say that i support Qaddafi but the whole situation is so biased and untruthfull. and there are ulterior motives at play.

Aljazeera is now controlled by the US and UK?

Wonders shall never end

Ghadafi is killing his own people and Russian gov supporting him. The useless Russian gov will soon tell us Ghadafi never kill any. Shame on Russian gov.

The Amricans have tried diplomacy and it failed.they tried economic sanctions but Ghadaffi was not shaken and now their next option is media propaganda which is also not working.So what are they going to do now cuz military intervention is also not going to work since ghadaffi still has the support of his people ?
This democrazy apologists are only trying to find excuse to invade libya the same way they invaded iraq looking for non-existing WMDS.

Yes I agree with you. The thousands of people we see protesting on the streets are not libyans, they are not Ghadaffi's people. Infact they are all Nigerians. Last christmas I saw many of them at Amangbalaoku local govt in Abia state receiving bribes from George Bush and the Illuminati to go and protest in Libya. May the Lord have mercy on them.

for all of you trumping support for gadafi,is it not time this crook allow frsh ideas into libya?40yrs plus is no joke people.He should go and let his country move forward.i wonder how we reason at times.

A lie oft repeated becomes the truth ----hitler

If you have been to Libya you know that Ghaddafi is well loved by his people. What slowed down the development of libya is the sanctions on it and other external forces to stop the real USA (yes United States of Africa).

LOL! There is nothing one will not read on NL!

What is happening in Libya is no longer a civil protest,Once the protesters took over military bases and are carrying military grade weapons,they have lost all legitimacy as per saying that they are civilians protesters.

Moreover,the amount of propaganda coming out through the western media is shocking,and the foolish Libyan Minster of justice came out last week to say that he had evidence that Qaddafi was responsible for the lockerbie bombing of the Pan am plane without any hard evidence and it made headline news all over the western press.

They have been violating Libyan airspace within impunity since this crisis began and if care is not taken Libya will go the way of Iraq.

I am no fan of Qaddafi but if there is no oil in Libya they won't have given a damn about what is going on there.

i dont care about propaganda, he need to go now after 42yrs.

All said BigPhil. No comment.

His 42yrs alone is better off than the combined 50yrs of Nigerian leaders.

Oh, Sir, they should sit back and watch foot soldiers of the military despot withholding their freedom shoot them and rain them with bombs so you can be happy they are civilians, right?

A big bullet hole through their skulls is what makes them legitimate in your own opinion.

Jesus, some people are really amazing in the way they think.

Ok Sir. I am "less discerning" and "intellectually limited" because I have a big hole in my head from Libyan army bullets. That makes me a "civillian" in your esteemed opinion, right?

Is Aljazeera part of the Western press too?

None of the reports coming from the western media (BBC, Al Jazeera -Al Jazeera is controlled by the west, CNN etc) have been substantiated, read the reports - you will see that the reporters merely quote "eyewitness accounts".  Nothing is based on hard evidence.

The BBC even admit that all their reports are based on second hand unverified eye witness accounts, here is what a BBC reporter had to say on 20 Feb:

"Reporting from Libya is tricky at the best of times,

For 41 years, Muammar Gaddafi - the self-proclaimed "Brotherly Leader and Guide of the Revolution" - has made life difficult for the Western media. While British nationals can enter many of the world's 192 countries without visas, or collect them on arrival, Libya is one of the exceptions. There, the door is firmly shut to international journalists, local reporters face intimidation and the threat of worse. It explains why, in contrast to recent events in Tunisia, Egypt and Bahrain, we're unable to report from inside Libya on the protests taking place there and the authorities violent response.
And that's an uncomfortable place for us to be".

the "protesters" are now actually being referred to as rebels which is what they were from the start, do peaceful protesters seize army vehicles and weapons?

I agree the west are now desperate to be rid of him by any means necessary, this is why they have concocted this story about him shooting and killing unarmed protesters , as you correctly stated a similar tactic was used by the US when they were hell bent on annexing Iraq and taking over the oil wells there.  Remember that at first they claimed Saddam was not allowing inspectors in to check for weapons and nuclear capabilities then when Sadam pleaded wiht them to come in and check they then switched over to the infamous "he has WMDs and only he knows where they are hidden"

People should not be deceived - the americans and the british are only interested in annexing the country in order to take control of the oil wells ,  they lured him into a state of false security and have now turned around to stab him in the back, they entered into lucrative oil and gas contracts with him after lifting sanctions in 2004 and have now felt that it would be better to get rid of him once and for all and replace him with someone they can control a lot easier. This is why he is now saying that they have  betrayed him.

The US and the british  have been trying to get rid of him for years, in 1986 Reagan bombed his residence killing his infant daughter,  in 1996 MI6 (british intelligence) tried to kill him but also failed:

West?? they only do things they can benefit from. dont be deceived by their press because they control the press when it comes to war. people pls go on youtube and search "The War You Don't See, a film by John Pilger" , that film will tell you more about the west.

Has Aljazeera been bought over by the west also?

Has Aljazeera been bought over by the west also?

Aljazeera is a Qatari based multimedia company which originally started out as an independent and objective news broadcaster.  Qatar is a staunch ally of the US and Britain, Al Jazeera are currently trying to obtain access to american news media markets and in order to gain entry they have been ordered by the US to slant their news so that it is reported from a pro US/UK perspective.

As a result Al Jazeera can no longer be relied on as an objective broadcaster.

In addition many of its editors are former BBC world service staff who took up jobs with Al Jazeera further destroying any chance of objectivity and truth.

Here is an article highlighting the outright lies and propaganda reported by Al Jazeera:

Libya is drowning in blood. A vivid picture of awful massacres in Benghazi, hundreds of innocent people killed, military attacking protesters, and a monstrous picture of the country’s leader Muammar Gaddafi who was said to be able to use chemical weapons against the citizens, was created by foreign media organizations, among them, Al-Jazeera. However, the real situation in the country could be quite different from what has been reported so far.

Saint Petersburg Center of Middle Eastern Studies (meast.ru) has recently published the notes by the eyewitnesses of the recent events – Russian and Ukrainian specialists currently working in Libya. The latest data was received on Feb. 26, 2011.

According to the witnesses, the situation in the country is stable. After the Gaddafi’s one hour long speech, there was some kind of euphoria and inspired people were celebrating the victory.

Libyan authorities regard the protests as a conspiracy of al-Qaeda with the support of Qatar satellite channel Al-Jazeera in order to split the country and arrange a zone of instability in Libya as it was done in Iraq. The government stated that innocent young people were used by the extremists to destabilize the country.


Uprising in Libya, the true picture remains to be known

Throughout this conflict Al-Jazeera appeared to incite the violence by apparently distorting information. Eyewitnesses of the events, who tried to contact Al-Jazeera and tell the truth about the "bombings", were not put on air.

As the Guardian has previously reported, Qatar is unapologetically pro-US, which is unusual in a region where rulers often denounce Washington to domestic audiences. It hosted US forces during the Iraq war. Some say the Al-Jazeera station represents a big step forward for Arab democracy, which Washington advocates, the Guardian reported

Jesus, some people are really amazing in the way they think.

the fact of the matter is when a protester is armed they become a REBEL. This is called a civil war, libya is obviously in civil war and the many of the protesters are ex military so no they are not peacefull protestors, this is a violent revolution.
not saying what the rebels are doing is wrong, they have legititmate greviances. But the media is sugar coating the fact that this is no longer a peacefull youth protest like what was seen in tusisia and eygpt.
