Libyan Woman Who Claimed She Was Gang Raped By Gaddafi Forces Is Now The Accused

A Libyan woman who ran into a Tripoli hotel in an attempt to tell foreign journalists her story of rape is now facing possible criminal charges herself, a government spokesman says. "I heard that the attorney-general brought her in for questioning because she is now not just the accuser, she is the accused. There is a case against her," Moussa Ibrahim, a government spokesman told journalist in Tripoli.An extremely distressed Ms al Obeidi had gone to the Tripoli hotel, where the media is based, screaming and crying that she had been raped and tortured over two days after being picked up at a checkpoint in the capital.A gun was pulled on the British Sky News team and CNN had their camera smashed as she was dragged away by security forces loyal to Gaddafi.Mr Ibrahim said that Ms al Obeidi had subsequently been asked about the alleged incident and "not come up with anything substantial"."She says four people kidnapped and raped her, one of them is the son of someone in the state. That is hardly political, the son of someone in the state is a human being," he said."Now the four guys are having a case filed against her because instead of going to a police station and filing a case against them she went to the media and exposed their names.""Now their honour is tainted, their families black-named and this in the Islamic law is a very grave offence."Earlier, Ms al Obeidi's mother told journalists she had been offered bribes to get her daughter to withdraw her allegations."Last night at three they called from Gaddafi's compound and asked me to convince my daughter Eman to change what she said," Aisha Ahmad said.Mrs Ahmad said she was told Eman al Obeidi would be freed if she changed her story and was offered "anything you and your family would ask for - money, a new home"."I told my daughter: 'Keep silent'," she said.The authorities have said that Ms al Obeidi was allowed to return home after over the weekend, but her family said she has not yet been seen.Pushed on her current whereabouts, Mr Ibrahim said: "If you ask me about this hour, I don't know if she is with her family or if she is being questioned again."

The Surprising PNAC Connection to Libya

Looks like the PNAC, or Project for A New American Century, agenda of 1997 is rolling along as planned. Just as has been outlined by other think tanks, Illuminati writers and social programmers
But a blind world reels on the defensive when they could have known what was coming all along. Notice, mind you, that the portrayal of an unstable middle east includes every “rogue” nation BUT Israel. Israel oddly enough is never “on the table” for discussion, when in fact they are the fomentors and co-creators of the entire “terrorist” threat fabrication.
Recent Developments
If you want to know exactly what’s happening or about to transpire, keep an eye on Neocons like Bill Kristol at rabid Zionist Murdock’s Fox News, the former head of PNAC when they made their famous study, proposal and ‘Statement of Principles’ preceding the staged 9/11 events and ensuing bogus “war on terror”.
It looks like despite Obama’s “promises” to not send troops, we’re about do it anyway. Surprise. So expect a real good reason to be fabricated soon, like tales of horrific atrocities by Gaddafi, to make sure the public is behind it. A false flag or two within Libya is probably on the table right now, like the staged theatre fire massacre in Abadan, Iran during the Iran revolution.
Kristol “Announces” the Plan
Here’s Kristol’s “announcement” that “we will not leave Gaddafi in power”:
(Raw Story) The operation to create a no-fly zone in Libya has just begun, but already conservative Fox News pundit Bill Kristol is wishing the U.S. would send in ground troops “sooner rather than later.”
U.S. President Barack Obama said Saturday the “Odyssey Dawn” operation launched under a UN Security Council resolution was a “limited military action,” unlike the regime change aims of the war against Iraqi president Saddam Hussein.
He pledged no U.S. troops would be deployed on the ground.
Fox News Chris Wallace asked Kristol Sunday if it was a mistake to limit the mission in Libya.
“Let’s talk about the mission,” Wallace began. “You heard Admiral Mullen, earlier in the show, say his orders are clear: protect the civilians, don’t overthrow Gaddafi. That’s not the point. Is that a mistake? Can we live with Gaddafi in any sort of power? He can create a lot of trouble.”
“No, we cannot leave Gaddafi in power,” Kristol agreed. “And we won’t leave Gaddafi in power.”
“The immediate military mission, Admiral Mullen correctly described but the political goal is to remove Gaddafi and ultimately military assets will serve that political goal.”
