Gaddafi presses siege of rebel held Misrata
Libyan government forces bombarded Misrata for a third day as ground units aimed to cut the port lifeline, while civilians pleaded for NATO intervention to avert a potential massacre. Five deaths reported in three days with 276 killed since the siege began. NATO airstrikes aided rebels near Brega, but Misrata endured heavy shelling and aid disruption.
