Update on situation in Libya

 Foreign personnel are leaving the north east of the country as pro-regime fighters draw closer to Benghazi. Only minimal defences are being prepared around the city and it will likely be assaulted by an increasingly confident pro-regime military. Casualties are likely to rise over the coming days. Air strikes and even attacks around the harbour from Libyan naval vessels should be expected. There are rumours that pro-Gaddafi military units have taken control of the crossing point at the border. However, AKE personnel have assessed the
situation and saw no evidence of this.
