© Asmaa Waguih/ReutersThe Secret Team's hired actors, er... Libyan 'rebels' pose for the webstern embedded media in Herawa, about 31 miles east of Sirte.
Spokesmen for the National Transitional Council (NTC) said a depot had been found in the Jufra area, 435 miles (700km) south of Tripoli, during part of an offensive against regime strongholds in the remote south of the country.
The rebels also say they have now taken most of Sebha, the largest town in the area whose tribes were long seen as loyal to Gaddafi and is an important staging post for travel to Niger, where some former regime figures have fled. Libyan officials have confirmed that a senior intelligence officer was captured there two days ago.
It had been thought that Gaddafi himself might have been hiding in Sebha along with his fugitive second son, Saif al-Islam, but NTC fighters found no trace of them.
Comment: A hard lesson that Europe seems destined to repeat. Since the above report was published, FECRIS have gone on to firmly embed themselves within the highest policy-making bodies in Europe and beyond.
Their Wikipedia page says: In typically psychopathic fashion this organisation has insinuated itself into the EU and UN legislative structure with hysterical McCarthyite claims of 'cultists' infiltrating every organ of state in order to do precisely the very thing they accuse others of - manipulating legislation that was originally intended to protect people's human rights, in particular preventing the rights of people to freedom of thought, conscience and religious association - all done on behalf of their backers in mainstream churches who feel that the new 'cults' are encroaching on their turf!
The current president of FECRIS, incidentally, is Tom Sackville, an Eton and Oxford-educated aristocrat and former Tory Home Office Minister of John Major's conservative government in the 1990s.
