Libyan rebels on 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. According to a correspondent for Al Jazeera from Ben Jawad, militants on board their vehicles off-road vehicles return to this town who 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.
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. Air force planes bombed Qaddafi again this afternoon the positions of the rebels who try to conquer Sirte.
The retreat mornings from Ben Jawad became a disorderly retreat in search of Ras Lanuf coverage to 662 km east of Tripoli, only 200 of Sirte, which triggered the confusion surrounding the control of the port and oil enclave. The ceremony of misinformation launched by the Libyan government since the dawn of television commercials in the state of military victory on all fronts and denials from all locations supposedly won by Gaddafi loyalists, joined the moments of panic in Ras Lanuf, according to another correspondent of the Arabic.
After the embarrassment of the militants who tried to deal with aircraft and helicopters with anti-aircraft weapons, the said correspondent said the planes attacked Ras Lanuf back with the sun and the defenders did not realize until above them. While Ben Jawad ambushed gadafistas awaiting the arrival of the revolutionaries, the brigades loyal to the regime in Tripoli launched an attack with the support of tanks on Misrata, rebel city isolated from Tripoli to Sirte.
The doctors contacted by the Arab satellite channels and requested medical supplies to treat the injured, which according to Dr. Khaled, are served without identifying the camp. This doctor said there were three deaths and numerous injuries. For its part, the rebel activist Mahmoud al Qomati told Al Jazeera that there are about 14 deaths among the members of the "Hamza brigade (attackers) and thirty wounded revolutionaries, some of whom said they are serious." Gadafistas forces have launched three attacks this morning: one to contain the rebel advance on Sirte, the Libyan coastal city center, another in Misrata, where fighting is fiercest, and the last in Al Zauiya, 92 km from Tripoli.
In the afternoon, according to Al Jazeera, the Gadhafi regime aviation Briga also flew on the East Coast and some 780 kilometers from Tripoli. In Al Zauiya, besieged for three days by the troops of Gaddafi, the fighting continued today, though communications with residents are hampered after the relentless punishment and the siege artillery of the population, whose power was cut.
The few residents contacted Sunday by the Arabic channels militants said they maintain their positions despite the large number of casualties. At least 20 people have died in fighting between rebels and forces loyal to Libyan leader Muammar al-Gaddafi in cities of the east. Among the attackers are at least 54 wounded.
Libyan rebels repelled the sharpest attack so far the forces of Muammar Gaddafi over the people of Misrata, several residents said Sunday. A doctor says that at least 18 dead. The government forces used tanks and artillery in what appeared to be more coordinated their efforts to retake the town, located about 200 kilometers east of the capital, Tripoli, but were stopped by insurgents fighting the 41-year term of the Libyan leader .
"Today Misrata witnessed the hardest combat since the beginning of the revolution. Horrible attacks," said one resident. "They came from three sides and managed to enter the town from the west and south, but when they reached the center of Misrata repulsed the rebels," he said. Misrata, with a population of about 300,000 people is the largest city controlled by opponents of Gaddafi outside the eastern country.
If the rebel soldiers are able to maintain its irregular migration westward, Misrata could potentially serve as a pivot to reach the capital and largest bastion of Gaddafi. "The revolutionaries captured 20 soldiers and captured a tank. Now the village is under the total control of young people," said the second resident.
"Today's attack was fierce, I have never seen anything like it in my life," he said. "We have 18 martyrs, but the figure is not final. We also have many wounded, I can not even count," he added.
