Meanwhile...on the Square

What was it all about? Why the shooting? Why the killing?

We called it the Libyan Embassy, but the Colonel didn't. He called it the 'Libyan People's Bureau'. He staffed it not with diplomats, but with Libyan thugs, armed to the teeth and ready to kill. And they did.

The demonstration by the Libyan National Salvation Front was peaceful, if rather noisy. They objected to two of their number being executed for daring to criticise the Colonel. A harsh penalty for dissent, but so much harsher for Yvonne Fletcher for keeping the peace.

And still on TV, her solitary hat.
