arm in libya their number one fear warehouse is going to hold ground to air new found which could in the wrong hands take down passenger aircraft it's through made so our nato allies in the region which these weapons have been flooding libya and also libya is quite well on country anyway the population has has quite a lot of light weapons in his possession and those white weapons are becoming a heavy burden on the national transitional council now relying on an army of former rebels for security we try to control the bends and we check if there is somebody has work and we ask him if he has authorization for this we are not. the. checkpoints have been set up across tripoli to check that those carrying weapons have proper documentation and those who do have the paperwork are being called on by the national transition committee to return their arms the question
8:03 am
now is what if they don't and what does that mean up for pulse gadhafi in libya and its stability and now as you can see is being secured here everything is under control and the only thing that you will make some they can is a how to give back the weapons we see something very different i asked the head commander what a plan is to disarm the population but i swear i don't know if you. mean and it was just i think we have some of the c.b.i. men who were in the path of that and a makeshift arms collection center that covers one neighborhood in the capital we are showing. you these are the weapons people grows to me today not many. down one walk in tripoli and you'll see twice as many firearms. so you know how many weapons there are. i think to slaughter and we've been sitting here i

8:05 am
into a volatile country. people have way too much faith in the n t c which is why obviously not in control of the situation on the ground in libya at the moment and in fact you can see the tension between the entity command and some of the more islamist led groups on the ground and in fact if you see some of the fighters on the ground they have the characteristics of islamic fighters had a long kind of history of from afghanistan onwards so this illusion that the entity has full control on the ground is not actually correct and i would say that a big event that we are seeing them could be personal vendettas could be the normal run of wars but maybe another party in libya could have prevented that evolution of the a separation that's the legitimate aspirations for change better that and then that entity that still has a lot of former gadhafi associates and cronies within it so that's really the nub

the advance with the support with the intervention to multiple means of the nato powers of the western powers and i think what we can tell the syrian people is look at what happened in libya the issue of a no fly zone sounds like a way to defend civilians but it's really a way to begin the war to begin military operations against the syrian air force or air defenses i think the first step and this is the plan of the obama administration is not direct military intervention but to promote a civil war inside of syria i think they realize that the syrian government is substantially stronger militarily and within the arab world as compared to don feet but they can use the human beings who have grievances valid or not to be the human materiel for a civil war and i think the u.s. government officials signaling the syrian opposition and the syrian president that
