Despite their “victory” the rebels are anxious that NATO continue to support them. I can assure them unequivocally that NATO will continue to bomb and terrorise and infiltrate special forces and mercenaries into Libya.

Top Libyan rebel officials are urging NATO to maintain pressure on the remnants of Muammar Qaddafi’s regime and protect crews trying to restore critical water and power services.
The head of the rebel’s transitional government, Mustafa Abdul-Jalil, told senior NATO envoys meeting in Qatar that Qaddafi’s forces can still wage brutal counterattacks even as opposition forces push into the last government strongholds.
Rebel officials also urged NATO to help safeguard reconstruction teams.
Military chiefs of staff and other key defense officials from NATO nations, including France, Italy and Turkey, are meeting Monday in the Gulf nation to examine strategies in Libya.
Qatar has been a leading Arab backer of the Libyan rebels.
