The United Kingdom’s Inner City Press revealed a 10 page document that shows a United Nations backed ground force operation is about to begin in Libya. It will involve 200 military observers, 190 UN police officers and 61 civilians.
The operation is awaiting approval by the UN Security Council, and an official request from Libyan rebels. It also details the creation of a new Libyan government, by the United Nations, not the rebels.
The 10 page “Martin report” also claims that the Libyan rebels committed war crimes, by killing prisoners and looting. It also “doubts” that Gaddafi used mercenaries.
The report was apparently written on August 22, but was officially denied until Inner City Press got its hands on an official copy.
