Saif al Islam Gaddafi says "the time has come for full-scale military action" against Libyan rebels. He goes on to say that Libyan forces loyal to his family "will never surrender, even if western powers intervene".
Libya is preparing full-scale military action to crush a rebellion and will not surrender even if Western powers intervene in the conflict, Libyan leader Muammar Gaddafi's most prominent son, Saif al-Islam, said on Thursday.
"It's time for liberation. It's time for action. We are moving now," he told Reuters in an English-language interview.

EU arms exports to Libya: who armed Gaddafi?
Which EU countries armed Libya under Gaddafi? The EU arms sales to Libya statistics, collected by the European Union, are not exactly public knowledge.
We only know about them because of some excellent work by Dan O'Huiggin, who found the complete breakdown of EU military exports in some distant corner of the Europa website and published a breakdown of 2009, the latest year available.
The data, only available as a PDF, is tricky to export but we bring you the latest five years here. It covers from 2005 (the first year after the end of the arms embargo in 2004) right up to 2009.

Al Arabiya & mbc broadcast deliberately jammed
The broadcast of Al Arabiya and mbc channels on the Nilesat are deliberately being exposed to jamming from unknown sources, which caused a cut in transmission, which continued for hours.
The mbc Group considers that such jamming campaign does not only target the broadcast of its channels, but targets the millions of viewers worldwide.
Al Arabiya news channel believes that the aim of the jamming is to prevent viewers from watching its continual and non-stop coverage of the news from the heated areas in different parts of the Arab world, especially after its successful and unbiased coverage of the revolutions in Tunisia, Egypt and finally Libya.
The following are the alternative frequencies of Al Arabiya and MBC channels on the Nilesat:
mbc channels
mbc1 12437 MHz Horizontal 27500 Mbps FEC: 3/4 mbc2 12437 MHz Horizontal 27500 Mbps FEC: 3/4 mbc4 12437 MHz Horizontal 27500 Mbps FEC: 3/4 mbc Action 12437 MHz Horizontal 27500 Mbps FEC: 3/4 mbc MAX 12437 MHz Horizontal 27500 Mbps FEC: 3/4
Al Arabiya News Channel:
New permanent frequency: 11727 MHz Horizontal 27500 Mbps FEC: 3/4
Permanent alternative frequency: 12341 MHz Vertical 27500 Mbps FEC: 3/4

Gaddafi forces detain and beat BBC Arabic team
Libyan leader Col Muammar Gaddafi's security forces detained and beat up a BBC news team who were trying to reach the strife-torn western city of Zawiya.
Members of the three-man team were beaten with fists, knees and rifles, hooded and subjected to mock executions by Libyan troops and secret police.
The three were detained on Monday and held for 21 hours, but have now flown out of Libya.

nilesat@link.net & +20 238400145 ASK THEM if their State TV contract is worth more than thousands of Libyan lives
Nilesat didn't find it hard to disable Aljazeera during #jan25 despite contract. If they don't disable State TV we'll pursue legal action
