75 wounded〔〔 |casualties2= Unknown |notes= }} The Ghadames raid was a series of hit-and-run attacks carried out between 24 and 26 September 2011 by groups of pro-Gaddafi forces, allegedly including elements of the Khamis Brigade, against the National Transitional Council-administered desert oasis town of Ghadames, Libya, during the Libyan Civil War. == Background == Ghadames, an oasis town with a population of around 10,000, lies surrounded by desert in a corner of western Libya, bordering both Algeria and Tunisia. The city is home to one of five UNESCO World Heritage sites in Libya, which UNESCO officials feared would be endangered by fighting. Throughout much of the conflict, Ghadames remained isolated and cut off from communications. As such, news from the town was scant and control of the town was not easy to discern. Some reports said that Ghadames remained "under siege" by loyalists for months; however, when anti-Gaddafi forces retook the town in late August, these reports were shown to be outdated. After the war, ''National Geographic'' reported that rebels had indeed staged an uprising in the town, but that a loyalist Tuareg militia suppressed it at some point. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Ghadames raid」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
