ROME - Four days of the operation Odyssey Dawn, the fourth day of missiles and bombs on Libya. The incursions of the Western coalition began in the early hours of the day, hitting Tripoli, Zintan, Misurata, Sirte, Sabha and the area east of Benghazi, in the latter case causing the retreat of the loyalist forces.
Hit the base of the navy Bussetta, ten kilometers from the capital, ports and airports in Sirte and Sabha, both political and military stronghold of the Colonel. On the diplomatic front, after the controversy of recent days, Obama, Sarkozy and Cameron have reached an agreement on the need for NATO-led operations in Libya.
It reappears in the evening Gaddafi. After days of silence, the dictator is shown live on TV standing in front of his bunker, in front of crowds of supporters who cheered him: "We laugh your missiles - he says - in the end we'll win." The dictator like a phoenix. Standing on the ruins of his palace bombed and in ruins, with the crowd of supporters who cheered him, and on live television.
So reappears a combative Colonel Gaddafi after days of silence in which to question him on what had been his fate. A scenic sortie worthy of Saddam, a phoenix rising from the ashes and do not give up. "The Americans and Europeans are the new Nazis - he says - but I'm here and stay here, and eventually we will be victorious." The field of battle.
Gaddafi's militias have taken over the activities of attack in the city of Misurata, and the death toll now is 40 dead. A carnage that goes on for days, lives that are worth € 350 each: according to the account of some witnesses on Twitter, a militiaman loyal to Colonel captured Zintan allegedly confessed that the regime promised 600 dinars, equivalent to about € 350 to anyone who returns to the capital with the corpse of an insurgent.
A medical source said that "the hospitals are full of wounded, in the city there is no light, there is no communication for ten days, there is no water for more than a week." According to certain non-verifiable, the Gaddafi family is preparing to escape to Algeria, in view of the fall of the regime.
The Libyan opposition website al-Manara writes that "Motasem Gaddafi, son of Colonel Muammar Gaddafi, Libya has returned recently after a trip to Algeria. It is believed that his visit was organized to prepare a joint family to Gaddafi that country. " On the front of the Western coalition, an American F-15 crashed on Libyan soil, 40 km from Benghazi.

A crew member is subject and has already been recovered, the other is "in the process of recovery." Would remain involved in the incident six people, all wounded, including a child at risk of amputation of an arm.

Other international media journalists have been saved by SAS, the British special forces, who stopped at the last minute the trigger of the RAF pilots, ready to drop missiles on Sunday night Gaddafi's compound in Tripoli.
