Crisis in Libya gets worse as 22 killed at airport

(TRIPOLI) Libya's descent into madness continues with 22 people killed over a battle to see who owns the international airport.

Meanwhile, the British Royal Navy's 'HMS Enterprise' picked up 110 people from Libya and is currently on route to Malta to drop them off.

1,796 Egyptians had been taken to Jerba and another 1,355 were due to be transferred there to be flown to Cairo.

More than 400 Chinese nationals were evacuated from Tripoli by crossing into Tunisia early on Saturday.

Maybe it wasn't such a good idea for the West to jump in and help the Islamic terrorists defeat Gaddafi after all? But hey, how were we to know what after Afghanistan, Iraq and Egypt that there is a bloody reason why strongmen are needed to rule Middle Eastern countries. The scenarios currently in place inside Syria, Lebanon, Iraq and Yemen show us the reason why.
