West artillery and tank attacks Gadhafi

Western aircraft artillery and tanks attacked the forces of Libyan leader Moammar Gadhafi Misrata besieging a city in the West in the hands of the rebels. Coalition aircraft also bombed Gadhafi's palace in the military complex of the Bab Aziza, south of Tripoli, according to the Arab network Al Arabiya.

Gadhafi appeared last night in the palace with his followers in a ceremony broadcast on state television and reiterated Libya's intention to stay in Libya. In a defiant stance, Gadhafi said earlier that the Western powers who have attacked Libya for a fourth day to protect civilians under a mandate from the United Nations Organization (UNO), were "a group of fascists who end up in dustbin of history.

" Western powers are implementing a UN resolution to protect civilians Libyans are discussing a coherent command structure to include Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO), after Washington indicated its willingness to cede leadership campaign in the coming days. While four nights of bombing in the West damaged the Libyan air defenses and an armored column in the East, continued to attack tanks Misrata Gadhafi.

Residents said it was developing a "slaughter", with doctors forced to treat the wounded in hospital corridors. Government snipers killed 16 people yesterday, rebels said. "Now with the air strikes are more optimistic," said Saadoun, Misrata resident by telephone. "These offensives have given us hope, especially because they are accurate and are targeting the forces (of Gadhafi) and not only to their bases." Before the attacks, tanks shelled the city but have not yet (...) fired one (round) artillery from the air strike.

" Those bombings targeted can be driven long distances with electronic systems. The rebels often use agents in the target area or special patrols of long-range reconnaissance aircraft that guide. In Tripoli explosions heard at least two hours before dawn, witnesses said. Gadhadi seemed ready for a long fight.

"(...) We will not surrender We're going to win by any means," he told his supporters formed a human shield to protect him in his compound in Tripoli. The Security Council will review the progress of UN international operations against the regime of Moammar Gadhafi, one week after authorizing the use of force to protect civilians and establish a Libyan-fly zone.

The 15 members of the highest international security will meet to hear a report from UN Secretary General Ban Ki-moon, on the evolution of the conflict in Libya in the past seven days. The first meeting of political coordination of the military operation in Libya will be held in London.

The Foreign Minister of France, Alain Juppe, told the French Assembly that the meeting involving all countries that are part of the coalition, in addition to representatives of the African Union and Arab League. The meeting will be at the level of foreign ministers.
