On Wednesday, when asked why the Libyan rebels were retreating, one of their spokesmen, Colonel Ahmed Bany, said archly, “You are obviously well aware of the difference between a tank and a Kalashnikov.” It could be the difference between victory and defeat. The rebels have repeatedly emphasized their relative hopelessness in squaring off against Muammar Gaddafi’s forces, using only an apparently large supply of light arms, including AK-47s, machine guns and rocket-propelled grenades. These arms are no match for Gaddafi’s tanks, the rebels say. To succeed, they require large weapons to defeat the regime’s tanks and Grad missiles. “Our forces have only got light weapons, and are facing military might,” said Bany. “No matter how enthusiastic or courageous [the rebels may be], a handgun has no chance against [Gaddafi's forces]. Might is might, but if you don’t have the military might behind it to enforce that might, then it’s useless.” (See pictures of the battle for Libya.) But what kind of armaments could the rebels use right now? Said Bany: “The types of weapons that we’re seeking are the type that would be able to eliminate or destroy [Gaddafi's] military mechanization.” Asked whether his forces are also in need of communications and logistical support, Bany said, “Right now we are suffering from this problem – difficulty of communications. We are trying as best we can to have communications with the components of our forces. And we are in communications with them and are able to contact them, but we are in need of more-advanced equipment.” Questioned about the presence of al-Qaeda elements in the ranks of the rebel army, Bany said, “We don’t have this type of fundamentalist thinking or attitudes. So it’s not on our part to be organizing any type of al-Qaeda cells within our ranks. If there are Libyans who were associated with al-Qaeda around the world previously and who are now back in Libya fighting, they are fighting as Libyans. The association with al-Qaeda is nonexistent here. They are fighting as Libyans.” (See pictures of workers lost in Libya’s turmoil.) Bany did, however, tie himself up in a knot by extending what he saw as the reasoning behind Gaddafi’s tirades against the rebels “when he came out and said that he would ally himself with al-Qaeda in order to fight against the 17th of February revolution [the Libyan revolution] … How is it possible that we hold in our ranks forces that would ally themselves with Gaddafi? It just doesn’t make sense.” And how are the rebels supporting themselves financially? Shamsiddin Abdelmolah, a member of the rebels’ national council in Benghazi, said, “The main economic assistance that we’re getting right now is the marketing of Libyan oil under the name of the national transitional council. Qatar has already taken the responsibility to continue selling Libyan oil for the benefit of the Libyan people.” (See “Libya’s Ragtag Rebels: Why They Fight.”) But the rebels still need economic aid. Said Abdelmolah: “I think the opening up of hard currency reserves – from the Libyan reserves that have been frozen – enough to be able to allow the importation of food and the like, but just for humanitarian purposes.” He said the national council had already requested such action and that it was getting “a positive response regarding the release of some of that money.” See TIME’s Pictures of the Week.

SAN FRANCISCO – Prison guards shot into a crowd to stop 200 rioting inmates at California’s Folsom State Prison, wounding five, authorities said Saturday. Another two inmates were injured by other prisoners during Friday’s riot, which began at about 7 p.m. in the main exercise yard and ended after 30 minutes. Prison spokesman Lt. Anthony Gentile said officers fired after other efforts to break up the riot failed. “We tried to control the situation with chemical agents dispersed over the crowd,” Gentile said Saturday. “We fired several rounds of rubber bullets and that didn’t stop them from fighting.” None of the inmates suffered life-threatening injuries, and none of the 45 to 50 officers who responded were hurt. All seven of the injured inmates were listed in stable condition late Saturday, according to Gentile. The prison, made famous in the Johnny Cash song “Folsom Prison Blues,” could remain on lockdown for the next several weeks during an investigation. That means inmates won’t be allowed to have visitors, use the exercise yard or attend work training, Gentile said. The prison has been hit with sporadic violence in its 130-year existence. Most recently, eight inmates were injured in October after a fight involving about 120 prisoners erupted in a dining hall at the prison. In April 2002, 24 inmates and one guard were injured during a riot. Opened in 1880, Folsom is California’s second oldest prison, primarily housing medium security inmates. The prison also operates a minimum-security unit and a transitional treatment facility. The facility’s website said it has 3,540 inmates and a custody staff of 643. It is located about 20 miles east of Sacramento. ___ Young contributed from Sacramento. Follow Yahoo! News on Twitter , become a fan on Facebook
