Bombs hit Gaddafi home: NATO strikes kill son and three grandchildren

[postlink]https://breakinghotnewsonline.blogspot.com/2011/05/bombs-hit-gaddafi-home-nato-strikes_8687.html[/postlink]

by Robert Verkaik

(May 01, London-Tripoli, Sri Lanka Guardian) Libyan leader Moammar Gaddafi apparently escaped a NATO missile strike in Tripoli which killed his youngest son.

The precision air strike, which came hours after Gaddafi called for a ceasefire and negotiations, killed Saif Al-Arab Gaddafi, 29, and three of the dictator's grandsons.

The Libyan government claimed Colonel Gaddafi and his wife were in the house at the time, but escaped unharmed.

But officials have cast doubt over the news after the building, inside a compound, was badly damaged by several bombs and no bodies were reported to have been removed.

NATO confirmed it had struck a 'command and control building in the Bab al-Azizya neighbourhood' on Saturday evening, but insisted it did not target individuals.

Said Gaddafi was the youngest son of the Libyan dictator. He had spent much of his time in Germany in recent years.

Along with Colonel Gaddafi's other children, he had been increasingly engaged in covering up scandals for a 'Libyan soap opera' - including negative publicity from extravagant displays of wealth including a private concert by pop diva Beyonce.

He had also played an active role in seeking to quell the rebellion that has seen pro-democracy supporters gain control of the east of the country, including Benghazi.

While studying in Munich in 2006, he gained a reputation as a playboy and become involved in a nightclub brawl with a bouncer when his girlfriend was thrown out.

Two years later, his Ferrari was impounded by German police for excessive exhaust noise.

Later in 2008, he was suspected of attempting to smuggle an assault rifle, a revolver and munitions from Munich to Paris in a car with diplomatic number plates.

However, the case was later dropped as the alleged weapons were never found and the German public prosecutor decided there was insufficient evidence to proceed with a prosecution.

Gaddafi and his wife were in the Tripoli house hit by at least one bomb, according to Libya spokesman Moussa Ibrahim.

He said: 'The leader himself is in good health. He was not harmed. The wife is also in good health.'

Mr Ibrahim would not give the names of the three children killed, but said they were nieces and nephews of Saif al-Arab and were all younger than 12.

He added: 'It seems there was intelligence that was leaked. They knew about something. They expected him for some reason.

'But the target was very clear, very, very clear. And the neighbourhood, yes of course, because the leader family has a place there, you could expect of course it would be guarded, but it is a normal neighborhood.

'Normal Libyans live there. This was a direct operation to assassinate the leader of this country.'

He said the attacks had no legal, moral or political foundation.

Journalists at the scene reported seeing one unexploded device in a huge crater among the rubble of the house and said the roof had caved in. It is thought at least three missiles hit the building.

A bunker or reinforced cellar underneath the building was also breached.

Gaddafi yesterday refused to give up power but said that he was ready for a ceasefire and negotiations provided NATO 'stop its planes'.

Gaddafi looked to have been winning with government forces held at bay in the east and around the besieged city of Misrata, while fighting for control of the western mountains.

But weeks of Western air strikes have failed to dislodge the Libyan leader and the war has instead become locked in a painful stalemate.

With neither side apparently able to gain the upper hand, Gaddafi struck a conciliatory tone in an 80-minute televised address to the nation in the early hours of Saturday.

'(Libya) is ready until now to enter a ceasefire,' said Gaddafi, speaking from behind a desk and aided by reams of paper covered in what appeared to be hand-written notes.

'We were the first to welcome a ceasefire and we were the first to accept a ceasefire ... but the Crusader NATO attack has not stopped,' he said. 'The gate to peace is open.'

Gaddafi denied mass attacks on civilians and challenged Nato to find him 1,000 people who had been killed in the conflict.

'We did not attack them or cross the sea ... why are they attacking us?' asked Gaddafi, referring to European countries involved in the air strikes. 'Let us negotiate with you, the countries that attack us. Let us negotiate.'

But as he spoke, NATO warplanes hit three targets close to the television building in Tripoli in what state media said was an attempt to kill Gaddafi who has ruled Libya for 41 years.

The air strikes left a large crater outside the attorney general's office but did not damage the building and hit two other government offices housed in colonial-era buildings. It was not immediately clear if there were any casualties.

Previous ceasefire offers have been rebuffed by NATO as Libyan government forces have continued to fight on.

Chinese Media Coverage Of Chopper Incidents In Arunachal Pradesh

[postlink]https://breakinghotnewsonline.blogspot.com/2011/05/chinese-media-coverage-of-chopper_3670.html[/postlink]

An M-17 helicopter of the Indian Air Force (IAF) crashed near Tawang in India's Arunachal Pradesh on November 19,2010, killing all the 12 persons---11 from the Indian Air Force including the two pilots, and a Lt.Col from the Army---who were on board.

by B.Raman

(May 1, Chennai, Sri Lanka Guardian) An M-17 helicopter of the Indian Air Force (IAF) crashed near Tawang in India's Arunachal Pradesh on November 19,2010, killing all the 12 persons---11 from the Indian Air Force including the two pilots, and a Lt.Col from the Army---who were on board.

2. The Government-controlled Xinhua news agency of China disseminated two different versions of the news about the crash----one for the English language media of China and the other for the Chinese language media.

3.The version for the English language media stated as follows: " According to AFP news, an Indian military transport helicopter in the northeast, in the border areas crashed, killing all 12 people.The plane is Russian-made military helicopter . It crashed shortly after take-off. The cause of the accident may be due to local weather. Indian Defense Ministry spokesman told the media that 12 people were on the helicopter.There were no survivors. All the dead bodies have been found." ( My comment: This English version had been taken taken from a Chinese blog)

4. The Chinese language version, as translated in Chinese blogs, stated as follows: " Press Trust of India quoting Indian military sources reported that 12 o'clock noon, local time, the Indian Air Force transport helicopter Mi -17 in the so-called "Arunachal Pradesh" fell to the ground.Two pilots and 9 flight trainees killed . Indian Air Force has ordered a cause of the accident investigation. The so-called "Arunachal Pradesh" is located in southern Tibet, China, which has always been Chinese territory.

Sri Lanka hotel profit margins on the rise: report

[postlink]https://breakinghotnewsonline.blogspot.com/2011/04/sri-lanka-hotel-profit-margins-on-rise_8511.html[/postlink]May 01, 2011 (LBO) - Profit margins of Sri Lanka's tourist hotels are widening with an influx of arrivals and rising room rates after the end of its 30-year ethnic war, a report said.


Given the rather "anaemic" demand prior to 2009, when the war ended, most hotel operators had been compelled to compete on price, RAM Ratings (Lanka) said in a report on the island's hotel sector.

"Price undercutting had been evident among most city hotels and those in the southern region, with certain 05-star establishment only charging about 60 US dollars per night."

However, the government started imposing minimum room rates in 2009 to curb excessive price competition, and a third increase recently implemented raised minimum rates to 125 dollars from April.

"With tourist arrivals hitting a record high in 2010, occupancy levels have also surged, reducing the pressure to compete on price," RAM Ratings said.

"The upsurge in demand for hotel rooms has led to a concurrent rise in room rates across the industry."

Room rates had increased over 20 percent as at end-December 2010 from a year ago.

The rating agency quoted the Global Hotel Price Index as saying Sri Lanka’s 05-star room rates had risen 21.38 percent to an average of 105.63 dollars by end-December 2010 from the previous year.

"This represents the fifth-largest spike in room rates globally," RAM Ratings (Lanka) said.

"The scenario of escalating room rates is likely to prevail in the short to medium term as the industry will be challenged to expand its capacity to meet the surge in demand.

"The higher price tags will in turn boost hoteliers’ financial performance through broader profit margins."

Robust demand and inadequate supply of rooms over the short to medium term will continue supporting occupancy levels and room rates, the report said.

"Part of the latter will be regulation-driven as the minimum room rates imposed by the government will be increased," it said.

"We believe the scenario of high occupancy levels is likely to prevail in the short to medium term, as the industry faces a room-supply deficit amid more robust demand."

The current capacity of nearly 15,000 rooms is sufficient to cater to only some 800,000 guests a year – indicating a "substantial deficit" in supply should the government’s target of 2.5 million tourists be achieved, the report said.

Industry experts believe that the current capacity of graded rooms should be nearly doubled to around 28,000 rooms.

"According to plans already announced by local and foreign hotel operators, 1,000 rooms will be added over the medium term, albeit still insufficient to cater to the expected influx of tourists," the rating agency said.

"Furthermore, the closure of hotels for refurbishment could tighten supply further in the short term.

"Against this backdrop, we believe that hotels will continue enjoying high occupancy levels and lucrative rates in the short to medium term."

RAM Ratings also noted that despite the recent rate hikes, Sri Lankan hotel rates are still lower than those of the other countries in the Asia-Pacific region.
