Fighting continues in Libya with new attacks both by NATO and the forces led by Col. Muammar Gaddafi. NATO warplanes are bombing the Libyan capital Tripoli following at least 14 air strikes on Thursday. Meanwhile, at least 12 rebel fighters have been killed in shelling by Gaddafi’s forces near the city of Misurata. The violence comes as international diplomats gathered in Abu Dhabi for a meeting of the Libya Contact Group. U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton said Gaddafi must be forced out.

Secretary of State Hillary Clinton: “Today’s successful Contact Group meeting was a powerful statement that our coalition remains united and committed. We reaffirmed there is only one way forward for Libya: attacks against civilians must stop, Gaddafi must go, and the Libyan people deserve to determine their own future.”
