The Malta Independent newspaper has more on the defection of the two Libyan pilots who refused to obey an order to attack protesters. (One of the pilots is pictured left after landing in Malta.)
The jets, recently refurbished under an agreement signed by Gaddafi and Nicolas Sarkozy, broke out of formation when their squadron was ordered to attack Libyan civilians. The aircraft were armed with rocket pods – a deadly anti-personnel weapon.
While it is not yet known whether the two colonels were in command of the mission and whether they encouraged their fellow pilots to make for Malta, it has been established that the two aircraft peeled off and dove for the deck... It is understood that the flight, which takes about 40-45 minutes on a commercial jet liner, took only six to nine minutes in the Mirages, as afterburners were engaged. In pilot talk, as one source put it, they "bunted, dove for the deck, hit the afterburners and screamed towards Malta".

On apprend ici, entre autres choses, que les mirages utilisés pour les missions de tirs sur les manifestants libyens ordonnées par Kadhafi ont récemment été rénovés en vertu d'un contrat passé entre Nicolas Sarkozy et le despote sanguinaire libyen!!!
C'est réjouissant pour nous autres Français de constater que notre pays n'est pas étranger à ce carnage; n'est-il pas?!
