The U.S. military has alerted two elite military units in Europe to be on standby if needed to respond to a deteriorating security situation in Tripoli, Fox News has learned.

In recent days both the U.S. embassy and British embassy in Libya have removed non-essential staff from their embassies.

A specialized Marine unit based in Moron, Spain, is in the process of being repositioned closer to Libya; and in Stuttgart, Germany, a special operations force assigned to AFRICOM has been placed on heightened alert.

  1. Remember that a coupke of years ago the US and UK were telling us that Gaddaffi was a brutal dictator, who was killing hos own people. Well since he was deposed, the situation is tens of times worse for the Libyan people, and will only get worse. Gaddaffi was co-operating woth the West and killing more al Qaeda then anypne else.

    Thats it, he was killing al Qaeda types, all Wahhabbi fanatics, and the darling children of Saudi Arabia. What the Saudis do not like, they get the US and the UK to remove from the scene.

  2. Anti-militias protesters attacked in Libya

    TRIPOLI, Libya (AP) — Scores of Libyan militiamen descended on rally in the nation’s capital, Tripoli, kicking and beating protesters who had taken to the streets Friday as part of a call for mass demonstrations against the country’s unruly militias.

    Rallies also took place in two other Libyan cities, Benghazi and Tobruk, with hundreds of activists denouncing the armed thugs and decrying what they describe as political maneuverings by the nation’s Muslim Brotherhood.

    In Tripoli, the day started peacefully, with activists marching in the streets with placards reading: “Law under the guns; constitution under fire” — a reference both to the recent siege and Libya’s new constitution, which is to be drafted next year.

    Others waved signs reading, “No to Mooq Mooq” — a word used to mock militias.

    As the rally marched by the two ministry buildings, the militiamen descended and started hitting the protesters.

    “They beat us up, women fled and a number of young men were seized and taken away,” said Abdel-Moaz Banoun, one of the protesters. “We have no clue who took them or where they are now.”

    Banoun told The Associated Press a Foreign Ministry official was among those seized.

    The protesters then dispersed but said they will march again on Sunday.
