As reported earlier, weeks ago, rebel forces led by US State Department [1] and UK Home Office [2] listed terrorists from the Libyan Islamic Fighting Group (LIFG) [3], a subsidiary of Al Qaeda, announced plans to starve out cities resisting their unelected, foreign backed bid for power. The London Telegraph reported in an article titled, "Libya crisis: Rebel leaders hoping to starve Gaddafi stronghold of Sirte into submission," that under the cover of heavy NATO bombing rebel leaders hoped "to starve Col Gaddafi's home town of Sirte into submission, laying siege to his last remaining stronghold in an attempt to avoid mass bloodshed, according to the man spearheading efforts for a peaceful takeover."

Fox News would relay an AP report on September 2, 2011, that rebel commanders declared, "we want to save our fighters and not lose a single one in battles with Qaddafi's forces. In the end, we will get Sirte, even if we have to cut water and electricity and let NATO pound it with airstrikes." AP cited Mohammed al-Rajali, a spokesman for the rebel leadership in the eastern city of Benghazi.

After weeks of attempting to encircle and starve into submission the cities of Bani Walid and Sirte, the "National Transitional Council" had claimed the resulting humanitarian disaster was of Qaddafi's own creation. CNN, after admitting earlier that anti-Qadhafi forces on the outskirts of Sirte and Bani Walid had cut off supplies into the cities and amassed weaponry for heavy battle, has reported in another article titled, "NTC claims humanitarian disaster in Gadhafi stronghold," that "that Gadhafi forces are robbing food stores, leaving civilian residents to starve." This was an attempt to explain the predictable atrocities that were soon to follow and shift the blame away from NATO and its rebel proxies.

This week, NATO's proxy rebel forces made yet another "final assault" on the coastal city of Sirte, accompanied by days of intense NATO bombardment (34 strike sorties on September 24 alone [4]). With the densely populated city's defenses still keeping rebels and presumably their NATO special operations advisers on the city's outskirts, it is a mystery as to how they claim to be identifying only military targets, let alone accurately hitting them. Such intense bombing could only be indiscriminately killing civilians, contra to the entire narrative NATO used to initiate their intervention in the first place.

Indeed, the Australian has reported, in an article titled, "Sirte civilians accuse NATO of genocide," that civilians fleeing NATO's premeditated humanitarian disaster are describing wanton genocide at the hands of NATO bombing and rebel atrocities on the ground. Civilians claim their homes have been destroyed and that female family members are being kidnapped as they attempt to escape checkpoints controlled by rebel forces... read further from Original
