Gaddafi forces bombard Zintan
2011-04-28
[Iran Press TV] Forces loyal to embattled Libyan leader Muammar Qadaffy
... a proud Arab institution for 42 years ...
have fired grad rockets at the center of opposition-held town of zintan, destroying several houses in the area.

An opposition front man says Qadaffy's forces bombarded the western town with rockets on Wednesday.

Several houses and commercial buildings were also destroyed in the attack.

Meanwhile,
...back at the fist fight, Jake ducked another roundhouse, then parried with his left, then with his right, finally with his chin...
Libyan revolutionaries say they have pushed back Qadaffy loyalists from the besieged city of Misratah.

They say they have managed to secure the port city a day after it came under heavy rocket fire.

The revolutionary fighters say NATO's overnight Arclight airstrikes helped them push back government forces.

A revolutionary leader says the Arclight airstrikes inflicted heavy casualties on pro-Qadaffy forces and enabled the revolutionaries to seize a large number of weapons.

Dozens of civilians and revolutionary fighters have also been killed in Libya since the Western military alliance launched aerial attacks on the North African country.

Meanwhile,
...back at the secret hideout, Scarface Al sneeringly put his proposition to little Nell...
leaders and emissaries of 61 Libyan tribes have called on Qadaffy to step-down.

They declared in a joint statement that the country is facing growing threats due to Qadaffy's actions.

They also described his actions as harmful to the unity of the Libyan people, while lending support to a free and united Libya.
