US-led strikes target Libyan city
The US-led military alliance escalates its aerial attacks on several strategically-important cities across Libya, killing many civilians, reports say. Residents in Misratah say Western forces have hit the city's air bases where Gaddafi's brigades are based. Water and electricity has been cut off to the city. Medical personnel say at least 90 people have died in Misratah in the past five days. Meanwhile, forces loyal to embattled Libyan ruler Muammar Gaddafi reportedly killed at least 17 civilians, including five children in Misratah over the past 24 hours. Witnesses say snipers continue to target people from rooftops. This comes as US-led military operations in Libya have received negative responses from different countries and also parties within the US.
Dennis Kucinich -- a US Democrat -- has severely slammed President Barack Obama for his decision to attack Libya. He says the attack is outside the US constitution and that Obama must be impeached for the move. Other representatives including Democrats Jerrold Nadler and Michael Capuano have taken a similar stance.
