Gaddafi forces bomb rebel-held Benghazi


Forces loyal to Libyan leader Muammar Gaddafi have reportedly launched their first bombing raids on the main rebel-held city of Benghazi.

BBC correspondents in the city heard the sound of low-flying aircraft and explosions on the outskirts of the second city, which has a population of a million.

Reports say the targets included the city's airport at Benina.
