Army: It is widely believed that the Tunisian army's chief of staff played a
key role in undermining Mr BenAli in the days before he fled Tunisia.General RachidAmmar is believed to have resigned, refusing to order the
army to fire on unarmed protesters and effectively withdrawing the
military's support from the former president.
Analysts say that the chief of staff is now the power behind the scenes in
Tunisia and may have political ambitions of this own.

Bahrain:
The Gulf state has
responded to pro-democracy
demonstrations with
brutality, leaving three
protesters dead andseveral hundred injured ±
at the hands, it appears,
of security forces
recruited from Syria,
Pakistan and India.
Meanwhile, the military
has imposed a lock-down
on the capital, Manama.

The situation in Bahrain presents a dilemma for the United States
± and for the UK, too, whose links to Bahrain are historic and
close.

The West¶s interest in this unsettled and dangerous region
includes the containment of Iran and its nuclear programme as
well as the protection of vital sea routes by the US Fifth Fleet
and the Royal Navy.
Bahrain is crucial to both.
Those urgingAmerica to offer moral support to the pro-
democracy demonstrators must ponder the consequences of
destabilising a country that is part of the West¶s defence
against Iran.

The response from the White House has, so far, been tentative. The
President¶s spokesman has issued a bland appeal to Bahrain and allcountries in the region ³to respect the universal rights of their citizens´, an
appeal echoed by William Hague, the UK Foreign Secretary.
There has been no hint of support for the protesters ± in striking contrast
to Mr Obama¶s overt encouragement to demonstrators in Iran.

26-kilometre causeway which connects the island kingdom to Saudi Arabia.

Libya, normally one of the most closed countries in the
Middle East to journalists, has invited in scores in the past
ten days in a bid to demonstrate that television reports of the crisis in the country are exaggerated. They have been
handed letters saying they can report freely.
After a series of miscalculations, once taking reporters toZawiyah, a town still in rebel hands, officials have tightened
movements, detaining scores at checkpoints around the
capital, Tripoli.

Zawiyah.
The pair were then held, beaten and given mock executions in the
most extreme case of the Gaddafi regime's harassment of
international journalists.

Nato Secretary-GeneralA
nders Fogh Rasmussen is giving a live news conference for the organisation in Libya. He says a no-fly zone is a possibility, but would require a
clear mandate from the UN and further planning. A BBC reporter asks how unified
Nato's front can be when sources in the French government have already started
speaking about unilateral military action, but Mr Rasmussen says he will not
comment on anonymous rumours. He says that Nato will not stand idly by while
Gaddafi "systematically" attacks his people

13th March
Lieutenant General Ronald
Burgess, the US DefenseIntelligence Agency chief,
says that imposing a no-fly
zone on Libya would be an
"act of war":
My understanding as I've
studied in my schools, that
would be considered an act
of war.
