At least 12 people, including two children, were killed on Monday as a result of shelling by forces loyal to the Libyan leader, Muammar al-Gaddafi, on the town of Misrata, the rebel stronghold east of Tripoli. As reported by Qatari chain 'Al Jazeera', citing as source the testimony of a resident in Misrata, since last Saturday has killed 56 people in that city and over 150 have been injured by the attacks of gadafistas.
According to Dr. Mohamed Alfagieh, who heads the hospital MUJAM Tiby, some corpses are unrecognizable due to the high level of carbonation. On Saturday, the Libyan government announced the suspension of military action in Misrata in order that it could initiate a dialogue between the parties to end the ongoing violence.
However, the attacks have not been suspended, because although Qaddafi forces have withdrawn to the outskirts of Misrata, continue to attack from there with heavy artillery and missiles.
