Intact Libyan offensive against insurgents

While the United States, France and Britain try to reach a control agreement to lead the offensive in Libya, the rebels in several cities report being the subject of constant attacks by the central government. Misrata City, the third of the country, came under heavy shelling from tanks and artillery of Libyan leader Muammar Gadhafi said the Mehmeraty Sadono, a spokesman rebels in the town.

According to The Mehmeraty, the attack forces with tanks and howitzers scheme is ongoing and said the victims included four children trying to flee their homes. Abdelhafid Ghoga, vice president and spokesman for the National Transitional Council (CNT), the governing body of the rebels in the east of the country, said that in Misrata the situation is "critical" and that the city had no electricity, running water or gasoline.

Gadhafi's tanks roamed the streets and opened fire at different targets. A spokesman for the Libyan Government said that Misrata, home to an oil refinery, was "released three days ago" and that Gadhafi forces are on the hunt for "terrorists", although Tripoli announced a cease-fire insurgents.

According to witnesses, the uncoordinated international forces still fail to implement the no-fly zone authorized by the Security Council UN Misrata. On another front, the forces loyal to Gadhafi attacked with heavy artillery Zinta City, 160 kilometers east of Tripoli, where they tried to enter the city center.

The picture was similar in Ajdabiya. Gadhafi troops and the rebels keep fighting in this town south of Benghazi. The army used rocket launchers and tanks to shell the urban area, and sniper fire on any vehicle that tries to approach the area. Ajdabiya is a strategic location to control the area east of the country, connecting with other Benghazi and Tobruk road, near the border with Egypt.
