NATO airstrikes continue in Libya
NATO has launched new airstrikes targeting the port of the Libyan capital, Tripoli, as the UN warns about the humanitarian situation in Libya.
Anti-regime fighters are shelling the embattled ruler Muammar Gaddafi's forces near the city of Ajdabiya as the fighting continues on different fronts. The revolutionary forces have also captured two border crossings -- one between Libya and Chad and the other between Libya and Sudan. Late on Thursday, government spokesman Moussa Ibrahim said that an offer has been made to withdraw government forces from cities on the condition that opposition forces do the same. “We are even prepared to go as far as withdrawing our army from all Libyan cites and population centers,'' Ibrahim said. “This is a new offer.''
