NATO bombing turns public back toward Qaddafi, bishop warns
CWN - June 21, 2011

Bishop Giovanni Martinelli, who has been a steady critic of the NATO military campaign, said that under the pressure of the bombing, Qaddafi is “returning to be a reference point for people, who right now feel the need for a leader.”
