A Nato air strike in the Libyan capital, Tripoli, has killed the son of Colonel Muammar Gaddafi, a government spokesman has said.

LIBYA - GADDAFI DEFIANT AS NATO STRIKES TRIPOLI

Let me preface this by saying that i accept Colonel Gaddafi is a tyrant. However, the NWO operation currently being undertaken in Libya is becoming laughable. Its now obvious that this is not about "protecting civilians" or imposing the "no fly zone", this is regime change, simple as that. And whats worse is the fact that the majority of the "rebels" that we are now supporting, are the same people that were classed as "insurgents" in Iraq. Al CIA-da are ok if they are in Libya, while our sons and daughters are still losing thier lives in Afghanistan fighting the very same Al CIA-da. news.sky.com

China, India, Israel, Pakistan, Russia, and the United States, nations considered major users of cluster bombs, have yet to adopt the Convention, as they consider the bombs to be legitimate military weapons.
