Gaddafi forces 'try to storm Benghazi'
Reports from Libya say pro-government forces have entered the western outskirts of the opposition stronghold of Benghazi, with the city coming under attack also from the coast and the south.
Witnesses in Bengazi, in the east of the country, said they heard large explosions early on Saturday. Al Jazeera's Tony Birtley, reporting from the city, told of multiple explosions taking place and a fighter jet getting shot down.
Government troops reportedly bombed the southern Benghazi suburb of Goreshi among other places.
