Gaddafi forces kill dozens in Misratah
2011-04-25
At least 36 people have been killed over the past 24 hours in Misratah after forces loyal to embattled ruler Muammar Qadaffy heavily bombarded the western Libyan city.

Explosions and gunfire were heard on Sunday in the city center and three residential areas, revolutionary forces say.

...the North Atlantic Treaty Organization. Originally it was a mutual defense pact directed against an expansionist Soviet Union. In later years it evolved into a mechanism for picking the American pocket while criticizing the style of the American pants...
planes have also been seen flying over the coastal city but there has been no sign of Arclight airstrikes.

This comes after Libya's revolutionary forces said they had gained the upper hand in Misratah after Qadaffy forces retreated.

Libya's deputy foreign minister said government troops had not withdrawn from the city, and instead that they had only halted their operations to let local tribes negotiate with revolutionary forces.

The Libyan National Transition Council says Qadaffy is playing "dirty games" and trying to divide tribes in the besieged troubled region.

"It is a trick, they didn't go," the council's military front man, Colonel Omar Bani, said in Benghazi -- the opposition stronghold.

"They have stayed a bit out of Tripoli Street but they are preparing themselves to attack again."
