Two high-ranking Libyan Air Force pilots have reportedly defected to Malta after refusing orders to conduct aerial bombing of civilian protestors. Reuters reports, with little detail, that a group of Libyan officers has issues a statement calling on the armed forces to "join the people" and remove Gaddafi from power.
The Libyan Ambassador to the U.S. just called on the Untied States to denounce his country's leaders -- and his employers -- more forcefully."I want the U.S. to tell the world and to work with the countries who love peace...they have to stop this," Ambassador Ali Ojli said, suggesting that he had resigned his post, in an interview with Al Jazeera English.
Chicago TV tonight is reporting there are rumors Qaddafi may hve fled to Venezuela. If so, his insistence he wouldn't flee and vow to die on Libyan soil didn't last long.
