The rebels said today that Libya's Moammar Gadhafi troops advance toward Benghazi and have reached 50 kilometers from the rebel stronghold, while a military source denied such an advance system to the official news agency Jana and stressed that the ceasefire is respected. This information is produced when France, the United States, Britain and some Arab countries have given an ultimatum to Libya to cease attacks on civilians "immediately." Shortly after this ultimatum, the Libyan Deputy Foreign Kaaim Khaled said in a statement to the media in Tripoli broadcast on state television said the Libyan military "will not attack Benghazi and remain committed to the ceasefire" announced in early pm this afternoon.
"The armed forces are now outside the city of Benghazi and we have no intention of entering" she said Kaaim. The deputy minister stressed that the ceasefire has been declared do not mean "no big or small military operation" and denied allegations that rebel forces continued to attack today Gadhafi as Misrata cities in the west, and Ajdabiya, in the east.
However, the correspondent of the Qatari Al-Jazeera network said in Ajdabiya, 160 km from Benghazi occurred this evening a heavy bombardment, although not specific if it was artillery forces, tanks or other. For its part, the military leadership of the rebels urged his troops in a statement released by her official radio station, to move into the city of Al Malgrun, 50 miles south of Benghazi to "lock Gadhafi forces" and stated that they move to the second capital city of Libya and the east.
"We call on the soldiers and officers to take up arms and rush to Al Magrun to defend the entrance of Benghazi," said rebel military command. Libyan forces of Colonel Muammar Gadhafi violate the ceasefire provided for in Security Council resolution adopted on Thursday, said Susan Rice, UN Ambassador, when questioned on the subject.
"The resolution 1973 calls for immediate ceasefire and cessation of all offensive operations. Prohibits flights over Libya," he said. With information from Reuters and AFP
