1 billion euros! That’s the estimated cost NATO has incurred since their warplanes start bombing Libya 5 months ago. After more than 6,500 missions, the air-strikes have failed to force Moammar Gadhafi to give up power and now things are really not looking good.
This follow news that the top military commander of the Libyan rebels, Abdel-Fattah Younis, has been assassinated by his fellow rebels! General Younis and 2 of his aides, both of whom are colonels, were assassinated when they were ordered back from the front lines to the rebels' de facto capital of Benghazi. All 3 were shot along the way by other rebel forces who then burned their bodies.
So now not only has NATO spent 1 billion euros in this war, their allies on the ground are fighting among themselves! Wonderful news…for Moammar Gadhafi.
