Journalist Mahdi Nazemroaya, who is stationed in a central Tripoli hotel with the international press, says the journalists are being targeted by the rebels and the NATO forces that support them. While he is speaking to RT, shooting can be heard.
‘They are specifically targeting the areas where international journalists are, to sow panic here,’ he argued. ‘NATO has done all the heavy work. This is a NATO war. They heavily bombed cities west of [Tripoli], they’ve bombed all night, without even 10 seconds of stopping. They have bombed this entire city and NATO landed the insurgents on the coast of Tripoli.’
But the city’s defenders are not pessimistic, continues Nazemroaya.
‘The situation has gone tenser,’ said Nazemroaya. ‘More members of the hotel stuff have returned with guns. Obviously they have been fighting. These are volunteers, not soldiers. They returned with a picture which is not a picture of loss and they are confident.’

The mainstream media are working with NATO to spread disinformation and waging a psychological war on the people of Tripoli. Watch the real report directly from Tripoli.
Mahdi Nazemrova, a reporter and political analyst in Tripoli, says that what the world is witnessing is NATO’s war against Libya. NATO is in control and the ‘rebels’ follow NATO’s lead. The ‘rebels’ sporadic attacks in Tripoli have been aimed to break down the morale and cause panic in NATO’s psychological war.
The mainstream media are an arm of NATO to spread disinformation. NATO has been bombing the civilian security checkpoints guarded by volunteers with the help of the mainstream media reporters locating them in Tripoli. The role of the mainstream media is to spread lies, acting as part of the NATO’s war machine.
The truth reporters, most independent reporters, are now being shot at and hunted by the snipers.

The Palestine Civil Rights Campaign-Lebanon confirms reports that FranklinLamb was shot at approximately 11:45 a.m. on Sunday August 21 in Tripoli,Libya outside of the Corinthia Hotel where he has been staying.

Franklin is basicly OK. The bullet has been removed and he is resting comfortably and wishes that no one be concerned because he will be fine.
