          if this goes wrong, 111 people could die, including 1 infant. Pray that situation is resolved and the hijackers are arrested

          Who created the entire mess in Lybia in the first place? US and UK. With BBC participating in it.

          He/they have been described as pro Gadaffi so would seem odd at this stage, we'll see I guess.
