Libya: ready to strike if attacked foreign ships and aircraft in the Mediterranean

It continues the advance of the military forces of Colonel Gaddafi in Tripoli against the insurgents who hopes to beat the time that any outside military intervention, however, should be authorized by a UN resolution. Military aircraft of the forces pro-Gaddafi bombed the airport in Benin, 10 km south of Benghazi.
 Meanwhile, the Libyan leader Qaddafi said today that his troops will launch a "decisive battle" to take control of Misurata, 150 km from Tripoli. The images show broadcast on Libyan national television. "The battle has begun aa Measured and today will be the decisive battle," said Gaddafi speaking to a group of young people measured, a city with over 500 thousand inhabitants.
On the military front in Misurata there are at least a hundred deaths, according to local medical sources. The regime has since claimed to have taken, but the statement has not been confirmed by independent sources. In fact fighting for the insurgents would still be in progress.
