The streets were the scene since the beginning of the revolt of many violent incidents that have caused many casualties in both factions. The security forces are dispersing the demonstrators with tear gas.
Meanwhile, the international community is talking to find a common strategy. The head of state Giorgio Napolitano, welcomed the strong warning issued yesterday by the U.S. president, Barack Obama, and pointed out that the "U.S. in no case are willing to use force without a mandate and an international involvement" .

These "insists on action odious as aerial bombardment, and this is a challenge for all players in the international community who have had enough with these actions." In Libya "developments, the way things are unpredictable." Italy for its part gives "full availability for each type of measure is adopted by the international community has" identity of views with international institutions.
" But the "response" of Obama's warning to Rais portends positive development. Gaddafi has decided to continue and intensify the bombing. This morning, a Libyan military plane launched two rockets at a military base in rebel-held to Ajdabijah in eastern Libya, but he missed the target. They told Reuters the rebels themselves.
"We were sitting here, we heard the jet, then the explosion and the ground shook," said Hassan Faraj, guardian of the ammunition at the base of Haniyeh. According to Faraj missiles "have fallen off the walls." Another guard voluntary, Aziz Saleh, said two rockets were fired, which are finished just outside the boundary walls of the base.
