Moammar Gadhafi to Rebels: 'Bring It On'

Gadhafi Daughter Gives Birth in Algerian Exile: Report - World News - ABC News Radio

(WASHINGTON) — In perhaps the most potent symbol yet that Moammar Gadhafi’s family has overstayed its welcome in Libya, the dictator’s newest grandchild has been born in Algerian exile after its mother’s desperate flight from the country’s revolution, Algerian officials said. Moammar Gadhafi’s daughter, Aisha Gadhafi, took refuge in Algeria Monday along with her brothers Mohammed and Hannibal after rebel forces poured into the Libyan capital in search of the dictator and his privileged heirs. Moammar’s wife, Safia, also escaped to Algeria in the convoy. The Algerian government confirmed Gadhafi’s kin had entered the country and said they had been accepted on humanitarian grounds. In a letter to the United Nations Security Council obtained by ABC News, the Algerian ambassador informed the U.N. that two vehicles entered Algeria Monday morning carrying the Gadhafi children, “accompanied by their children, one of whom was born the same day without medical assistance.”

Hundreds of Bodies Discovered in Libya, More Feared

Libya's New Leaders Have Their Work Cut Out for Them

There are many obstacles to overcome, not the least of which are Libya’s 140 tribes throughout the eastern and western parts of the country. Getting them to unify will be a huge challenge for the Transitional National Council, the group that conducted the successful guerilla campaign against Gadhafi loyalists, with a major assist from NATO.

Where Is Libyan Leader Moammar Gadhafi?

(WASHINGTON) — Pentagon spokesman Col. Dave Lapan told reporters Monday that the United States believes Moammar Gadhafi is still in Libya. “I think that’s probably fair to say that we believe he’s still in the country,” said Lapan. “Just again, it’s a belief, that we do not have any information that he has left the country.” “To the question of whether we believe he’s left the country, I don’t believe that’s the case…but I won’t get into specific(s),” he added.

Court to Rule on Arrest Warrant for Libya's Moammar Gadhafi

UPDATE: The International Criminal Court has issued arrest warrants for Moammar Gadhafi, his son, Saif al-Islam, and Libya’s spy chief, Abdullah al-Senussi.

(THE HAGUE, Netherlands) — The noose is tightening for Col. Moammar Gadhafi.

The International Criminal Court in the Hague is poised Monday to hand down an indictment for war crimes and crimes against humanity against the Libyan leader.  The court’s chief prosecutor, Luis Moreno-Ocampo, asked judges last month to issue an arrest warrant for Gadhafi, his son, Saif al-Islam, and Libya’s spy chief, Abdullah al-Senussi, who happens to be Gadhafi’s brother-in-law.

Moreno-Ocampo’s office claims the trio is responsible for “widespread and systematic attacks” against the people of Libya, “including murder and persecution as crimes against humanity.” Continue Reading-»

Lawmakers Reject Authorizing US Strikes In Libya

(WASHINGTON) — As the NATO bombing campaign in support of Libya’s rebels enters its fourth month, another rebellion is brewing thousands of miles away on Capitol Hill. Frustrated lawmakers from both parties have threatened to cut off funding for American operations there amid concerns about its cost and growing dissatisfaction with the Obama administration’s skirting of the War Powers Resolution. On Friday, the House of Representatives declined to grant the president the authority to support the NATO mission in Libya.

N.C. Congressman: Libya Bombing an ‘Abuse of Power’

(NEW YORK) — With bipartisan anger flashing at President Obama over Libya and his foreign policy, a bipartisan group of House members is taking the Obama administration to court, challenging the president’s authority to engage in a bombing campaign in Libya without congressional authorization.

Rep. Walter Jones Jr., one of the co-signers of the lawsuit, told ABC News on Thursday that the president had no good reason to attack Moammar Gadhafi.

“Libya had done nothing to America. I realize they’ve got an evil leader, Gadhafi, but still, you don’t go around the world attacking countries because they have an evil leader,” said Jones, (R-N.C.).

“Why in the world didn’t president Obama come to the Congress and say, ‘Look, I got a concern, I’m concerned about the national security, and I might need to have the authorization to go in and take Gadhafi out.’ But he didn’t do that,” Jones continued. “The president is not a king. He was elected by the people, just like the House and Senate — we were elected by the people.”

“I think he is absolutely off-base,” Jones said. “I think that is an abuse of power, and that’s why we’re going to the courts.”
