Heaviest bombardment since fighting started
Forces loyal to Muammar Gaddafi bombarded the rebel-held city of Misrata on Friday with tanks and heavy artillery, rebels and residents said.
"There have been heavy bombardments since 7 o'clock (0500 GMT) this morning. They are bombing everything, the houses, the centre of the city," insurgent Saadoun told Reuters by phone from the city, the last big rebel stronghold in western Libya.
"It's the heaviest bombardment I have seen so far."
