Muammar Qaddafi and his sons have assembled a new army of 12,000 soldiers - all desert warfare-trained fighters of the loyal Tuareg tribes, DEBKAfile’s military sources report. Last week, the Tuareg tribal council met in Niger and declared Qaddafi, his sons, military chiefs and members of the ousted regime still loyal under the tribes’ protection. The council declared members of the rebel National Transitional Council enemies of the tribes.
Thursday, Sept. 22, the NTC claimed the capture of the southern Libyan desert town of Sabha, even though they only reached its outskirts. NATO approved the extension of its naval and air operations in Libya by another 90 days to help the rebels dislodge Qaddafi's loyalists from the cities in Libya they are still holding.
