Al Jazeera English: Libya Intervention Comes Too Late For Some, Incl. 7 Year Old Boy (Graphic Video)

Opposition forces in Benghazi say 30 people were killed and many more wounded when troops loyal to longtime leader Muammar Gaddafi attacked the western outskirts of the rebel stronghold in the hours after the UN Security Council approved military action against him.

Residents of the city expressed anger with the international community, saying it had acted too slowly to prevent one final assault from Gaddafi.

But opposition fighters more than held their own, driving back the loyalist troops - some of whom may have remained in Benghazi all along as "sleeper cells" - and capturing at least two tanks.

Al Jazeera's Tony Birtley reports from Benghazi.

Warning, this video contains footage from the offset that most will find disturbing : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gwMn-3lhCf0

1. How can how anyone look at that and say "it's not our problem "
"All that is necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing"

3. I have a feeling this is going to continue to be totally ignored
Here's another one that would probably be ignored, too: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EQ0KQABYXgE

4. When Egypt's torture cells were uncovered, there were DOZENS of posts about it.
But here? Nope.

7. Will you post the pictures of the babies the U.S. kills in their attacks?
Just wondering. By the time this is all said and done, the U.S. will have killed MORE babies than Gadhafi did. Will you post those pictures too? I somehow doubt it.

Then we can talk about what's being ignored.

No one here has said Gadhafi shouldn't be removed from power.
