17 Reportedly Killed in Attack on Misurata

HeadlineApr 18, 2011

The Gaddafi regime’s attack on the Libyan city of Misurata, which is under rebel control, continues to cause deaths. At least 17 people were reportedly killed and 47 wounded Sunday in the fourth straight day of bombing. Evacuees say conditions are worsening with shortages of food, medical supplies, electricity and water. Meanwhile, in eastern Libya, rebel forces were able to repel a government assault on the town of Ajdabiya following a weekend of intense fighting. The United States and its allies have reportedly begun seeking a country to shelter Col. Muammar Gaddafi should he be forced out.
