RT said foreign fighters were told to use "all means necessary" to control the city. Libyan activist Ali Altakasih told RT that Bani Walid residents say that "chemical weapons and airplanes" attack them.
He urged Russia, China, and other countries to intervene to help. Civilians are isolated on their own and dying.
"Any house that looks of great importance to the militias is either burnt or robbed," he added. "There are people who are trapped inside the city who cannot leave the city, either for fear of the militia or fear of leaving their belongings inside the city."
Obama bears full responsibility. Libya's war is his. So is ongoing Bani Walid slaughter and destruction. Major media scoundrels support what they should condemn.
What's happening in Bani Walid is suppressed. On October 24, The New York Times headlined "Libyan Forces Now Control Restive Town, Officials Say."
What city residents say is ignored. Fighting continues. Unnamed "officials" lied. Times writer Kareem Fahim regurgitated false information instead of reporting accurately.
BBC was no better. On October 24, it headlined "Libyan forces 'capture ex-Gaddadi bastion Bani Walid,' " saying:
"Libyan authorities say they have seized control of" the city. "The government alleges that Bani Walid harbors a number of Gaddafi loyalists".Authorities say all military operations have been halted."They claim "troops will provide security and aid in the town."
