“When NATO bombs at night, I hear my neighbors clap and cheer ‘bravo,’ and in the morning they are with the rebels,” a leading parishioner said, speaking on the condition of anonymity for fear of reprisals from the government of Col. Muammar el-Qaddafi. “People are very, very down, and they are depending entirely on NATO.”
Over a meal of homemade Indian food laid out after Mass, parishioners said Libya’s situation was growing only more “obscure,” as one put it. There were reports that several armed rebels from the Tripoli neighborhood of Hay al Andalus were killed in an attack on top Qaddafi officials. (Rumors in the rebel capital of Benghazi described the same attack as a great victory.)
