Qadhafi forces shell Misrata fuel depots: rebels

BENGHAZI: Forces loyal to Libyan leader Moamer Qadhafi  fired on the lifeline port in the besieged city of Misrata on Saturday and hit several fuel depots, rebels said.

‘There are still attacks by Grad missiles and our fighters are still resisting,’ said Colonel Ahmed Omar Bani, military spokesman of the Benghazi-based National Transitional Council.

‘They tried again to destroy the Misrata port but our fighters didn't allow them to do that,’ he said.

He said loyalists had switched tactics and were now focusing their offensive on fuel depots.

‘They want to leave the revolution without fuel,’ he said.
