Fwd: An E-mail we received from one of Tricia's dissertation students

[Kenneth Ehrensal]

This afternoon we received an e-mail from one of the doctoral students whose dissertation Tricia is supervising.  The student is a Libyan, and her husband and other family is currently in Libya.  Tricia had written to her to as if they were safe.  Below is her response.  She has asked us to let people know what is going on.  Please feel free (actually, please feel compelled) to forward this message as far and wide as possible.  I have deleted the student's name for the sake of her safety and her family's safety.

>> I have spoken to him and my family in Benghazi. They are all well.

>>  In Benghazi, the situation is terrible; there are massacres occurring. People getting shot by helicopters and snipers; there have been reports of poisoning of the city water supply and mercenaries from sub-Sahara Africa and Algeria have been unleashed reportedly being paid $30,000 each to kill innocent people. Please spread the word among your colleagues and urge everyone you know to contact the UN, the Red Cross and Crescent, all news agencies, the State Department, and the White House. Please tell everyone you know; people are being massacred.

>> Thank you again for checking in. Please pray for the people.
