Gaddafi's troops returned to the attack Misrata

Muammar Qaddafi's forces bombarded the early hours of Monday, with heavy artillery rockets, the city of Misrata, the third largest in Libya, under siege for two months, according to the Qatari station Al Jazeera. A resident in the town told the television station by telephone that at least 42 people died and 150 were wounded in the last two days of intense attacks.

Of these 42 deaths, only 30 have occurred in the last hours. "There is a very intensive and random bombing against several residential areas of the city. The charred bodies being carried to hospital," said Ahmed al-Qadi, an engineer who works for a dissident radio station Misrata. The event takes place after Moammar Gadhafi announced he was withdrawing his men from the city to continue shortly after the fighting.

The regime has said that continued to attack, because in the withdrawal of its soldiers, a rebel group attacked them and had to defend himself, breaking his promise, until today, we even have only intensify the bombing. In fact, gadafistas forces are no longer in the city, because "they were expelled by the rebels after the fighting of recent days" and have been stationed around 25 kilometers from where they launch their attacks with Grad missiles and shells tanks.

The rebels believe that the withdrawal of gadafistas was just a ploy to buy time and regroup their forces, which have become a show today with a new bombing Misrata, her true intentions.
