Libyan rebels have withdrawn from the town of Ras Lanuf under heavy attack from forces loyal to Col. Muammar Gaddafi. The rebels’ pullback follows a series of gains with the aid of U.S.-led air strikes. The Libyan government continues to claim bombing raids by allied forces are killing and wounding civilians. On Tuesday, foreign journalists were brought to a hospital in the town of Mizdah that Libyan officials claim was damaged by allied forces. A nurse at the hospital said she witnessed the attack.

Nurse: “We started receiving patients from the outside. A lot of people are injured and wounded. So, we heard a very big explosion inside, but we didn’t imagine it was the hospital. They told us we have to come quickly inside. It was a mess. We couldn’t concentrate. We received patients from outside or to bring the patients from inside. When we came, we found this lady already dead and other two ladies with very serious injuries, and we transferred them to Tripoli immediately.”
