Chris Stephen: GOOD NEWS: Qadafi Forces Destroy Front Line of NATO

Forces loyal to Muammar Qaddafi attacked the Libyan city of Misrata, breaching the opposition's front line to the west, and killing 11 rebel fighters, military officials in the rebel-held enclave said. The aim was to capture a strategic hill, the high ground near the city. There was no comment on the fighting from the Libyan government, except to say that "things are going well". "They advanced 300 meters over the front line," said the soldiers! Misrata, about 170 kilometers (100 miles) from the capital Tripoli, is the main rebel-held city in western Libya, and has been under siege for most of the uprising that began in February. The attack comes four days after rebel forces pushed west to within 3 kilometers of the nearby government-held town of Zlitan, where they are now dug in. Duew said that the rebels were angry, that there were no signs of any North Atlantic Treaty Organization assistance during the battle, which saw a heavy bombardment by government rockets and mortar shells. "Every day 10 die, 11 die," he said. "Where is NATO?": Counting their money, and throwing it away!
