The rebels have announced the "liberation" of Misrata, the third largest city in Libya, under siege for the past two months, having tended to favor the relative strengths with those of Colonel Gadhafi, according to the television channel Al Jazeera.

The revolutionary forces have been installed in various parts of the city's checkpoints and each vehicle is systematically controlled. For its part, the Libyan government announced the withdrawal of its forces from the town of Misrata.
Libyan Deputy Minister of Foreign Affairs, Khaled Kaim, said that from now Misrata is in the hands of the local tribes and the inhabitants of the city that should fix your problems with the rebels "through dialogue or by force." "The situation improved Misrata, will be a great and rapid change," said the diplomat, says Al Jazeera.

The town and its surroundings were bombarded by thousands Grad and shells of various calibers over these past eight weeks. Gadhafi's forces were accused of using cluster bombs, banned by the international community, in their attacks on MissRaten, but Tripoli's government denied it.
