resistance forces Gaddafi before the massive uprising and increase their ability to fight back fears that Libya will lead to a prolonged civil war rather than the fast speed seen in Tunisia and Egypt.

Gadhafi troops backed by tanks, artillery, combat aircraft and helicopters, attacked towns and Misrata Zauiyah, west and east of Tripoli, and positions near the port town of Ras Lanuf, 660 kilometers east of the capital.


Government spokesmen claimed a series of quick victories and loyal to Qadhafi came out en masse to the streets of Tripoli at dawn to shoot into the air, showing pictures the leader who takes charge of the country from OPEC for 41 years.


"They are celebrating because the government forces have taken control of all areas to Benghazi and are on their way to regain control of Benghazi," said the spokesman Musa Ibrahim, referring to the second city Libya's largest, in the far east.

without clutch, the celebrations seemed to be premature, as Benghazi and was still under rebel control and Misrata Zauiyah insurgents said they had repelled assaults and were struggling to recover local Jawad bin, west of Ras Lanuf.

Government troops drove the Jawad Bin opponents, they captured on Saturday.
But the rebels regrouped around Ras Lanuf and returned to the outskirts of bin Jawad, a small, dusty town situated between the coastal highway and the Mediterranean Sea, 160 kilometers east of Gaddafi's hometown, Sirte.

A wounded soldier returning Ras Lanuf after the assault by the government against Jawad was asked Bin I had seen. "Death", I answer, too shocked to say anything more.

The rebels surrounded by the troops of Gaddafi Zauiyah near downtown, 50 kilometers west of Tripoli, they faced another offensive Sunday after repelling two attacks with tanks and infantry on the previous day.


"This morning there was a new attack, more than yesterday. There was fighting for an hour and a half (...) Two people were killed on our side and many more were injured, "spokesman Yusef Shagan by phone.


" We continue to monitor the entire plaza, "he added.


Brigades Elite Jamis Gaddafi son also Lazaron a crackdown Misrata, 200 kilometers east of the capital.


"The brigades attempted to reach the center of the city but the revolutionaries were able to repel them. They retreated to the air base, "said one neighbor who declined to be identified.


"Revolutionaries captured 20 soldiers and took over a tank. The city is completely under the control of young people," he said.


rebels were first done with bin Jawad on Saturday, but then withdrew. Army units then occupied houses and snipers took up positions and rocket propelled grenades to ambush.


"It's a really fierce battle, like Vietnam," said rebel fighter Ali Othman told Reuters. "They are using all weapons. We have withdrawn by an ambush and we regroup. "


The rebels said they shot down a helicopter during clashes on Sunday, and Reuters showed the remains of a fighter plane Saturday near Ras Lanuf the insurgents said they down.


The Ras Lanuf hospital, doctors said they had arrived two dead and 22 wounded in the fighting. A French journalist was shot in the leg, a doctor said, while that four rebels were seriously injured and might not survive.

The stagnant situation in Libya between violence, confusion and misinformation. Muammar Gaddafi, who on Saturday and Sunday some areas hard hit rebels, especially the intensity of Zauiya, has managed to halt the rebel advance on their stronghold in Sirte. He also claims on public television that the revolt had been defeated in Zauiya, Misrata, Ras Lanuf Tobruk even in the far east. However, there are conflicting reports about the control of each of these cities.

A total of 2,363 refugees fleeing violence in Libya have crossed the border into Algeria from 24/02, reported the newspaper Liberte. " Since that time, Algeria has hosted an average of 300 to 400 refugees a day, which are housed in temporary structures that have been installed near Debdeb border posts, and Tarat Tinalkum in the Southeast. According to the source, 2,001 of the refugees are Algerian, and of these 705 are Libyans, 545 and 246 are the Egyptian Mauritania.
While clashes began in Misrata, unique enclave held by the rebels from the capital and the coastal city of Sirte, aviation loyal to Muammar Gaddafi has launched an air strike on the oil enclave of Ras Lanuf, direction west and where the outposts retreated from revolutionary Jawad Bin. This town, a prelude to Sirte for its proximity, was taken yesterday by opposition groups, but the counteroffensive forces Gaddafi has forced the rebels to retreat to Ras Lanuf. Reuters reports that the anti-Gaddafi have returned to resume his march toward Jawad Bin. Despite Gadhafi Aque

The French government said Sunday 06/03 support for the Libyan rebel National Council, encouraged him to achieve the objectives proposed and rejected the "unacceptable use of force" against civilians. In a statement the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the French Government expresses its satisfaction at the "will of unity" that has guided seen the creation of that instance by the rebels against the Libyan regime.

also pays tribute to the "value" of "people subjected to violence" in the North African country and appeals to "full respect for resolution 1970 the Security Council" of the UN, adopted on 26 February. That resolution, among other provisions, prohibit travel abroad by Libyan leader Muammar Gaddafi, his eight children and seven of his closest collaborators, and requests the International Criminal Court (ICC), based in The Hague, to open an investigation into the attacks against the civilian population. The Swiss President Micheline Calmy-Rey, has asked the Swiss Justice proceedings against Gaddafi's regime for the kidnapping of two Swiss businessmen during a crisis faced by both countries. "The culprits must be brought before a judge, "Calmy-Rey said in a statement published by the newspaper NZZ am Sonntag. Switzerland argued that criminal proceedings could be initiated to clarify the circumstances of the kidnapping of Max Goldi and Rachid Hamdani, executive a Swiss company and employer, respectively, which were held for nearly two years in Libya. In the fall of 2009, both were forced out of the Swiss Embassy in Tripoli, where they had sought refuge months ago and held for 53 days and separately in a secret location. EU to send fact-finding mission to Libya before the European summit. The High Representative of the European Union, Catherine Ashton, today sent a monitoring team to Libya to discuss the situation on the ground before the special summit of European leaders convened to discuss the latest developments in this country and in North Africa. The mission of a technical nature, is the first of its kind sent to the international level since the rebellion began Libya, as highlighted by Ashton in a statement. "I decided to send this high-level mission to gather information firsthand and in real time, as a basis for discussion prior to the extraordinary European Council meeting next Friday," said Ashton, who adds that on 11 exposed European leaders the latest developments in Libya. The observer team will be led by Agostino Miozzo, director of the European External Action Service (EEAS) Crisis Response and Operations Coordination, and its main task will be to analyze the field, the humanitarian situation in Libya in order to assess the need Additional international assistance. The chairman noted that Gaddafi has a force consisting of African mercenaries of various nationalities who number over 5,000." The African mercenaries continue to turn to Libya in droves to support the Gaddafi regime, "he said, while recalling that in recent years the dictator has given Libyan nationality to a large number of Chadians, Nigerians and Kenyans. In this situation, repeated the call Abdel Jalil the international community to impose an air exclusion zone over Libya "so that Gaddafi can not bring African mercenaries with having good relations. " Towards the cradle of Gaddafi
insurgents in eastern had advanced in the last hours enduring air harassment helicopters and aircraft of the Libyan Armed Forces and just enjoy an advantage as they enter towns, volunteers willing to join the march to the capital swell their ranks. Today many more trucks than in previous days, full of feverish young and often reckless use of weapons departing from the towns taken eager to overthrow Gaddafi. Sirte was in sight of the rebels. Libyan Rebels this Sunday had to retreat from Ben Jawad, where they were ambushed and harassed by aviation gadafista, moving back into the disputed town of Sirte, the hometown of Colonel Muammar al-Gaddafi. A rebel activist Abdel Mawla to Ubeidi told Al Jazeera that the revolutionary control and Ben Jawad, about 100 kilometers of Sirte, and are in negotiations to enter the latter city without fighting.
As reported by a correspondent for Al Jazeera from Ben Jawad, militiamen aboard their off-road vehicles return to the town they evacuated this morning at the counter of aviation loyal to Gaddafi, backed by mercenaries and Tuaregs in the service of Tripoli, which maintain hostilities in the area.
is likely that if the rebels take Sirte-host country's vital oil installations and vital bastion of Gaddafi and his family, "the siege on the capital would be accelerated. But you can never rule out a reaction of the soldiers and mercenaries of the autocrat. Especially if Gaddafi and his cohorts keep their word, always said you never would abscond and die at home. The behavior of soldiers and mercenaries from Gaddafi, after what happened yesterday in Zauiya-is becoming more brutal. And if it increases their desperation, can not be ruled out even deadlier attacks.
For the third straight day Gaddafi tanks have assaulted Zauiya, 50 km west of Tripoli. A spokesman for the rebels, YoussefShagan, explained to Reuters that the attack lasted an hour and a half, but the opposition still controls the main square of the second oil enclave of Libya. The rebels against the regime has in its arsenal modest arms, machine guns, grenade launchers, antiaircraft guns and antitank guns, but these weapons can do little when the truth against an army and a well-trained paramilitary units for years and much better equipped with tanks, heavy artillery, aircraft and helicopters.
