Citat:Reuters reports: Libya's army fired volleys of rockets at the rebel-held town of Zintan in the Western Mountains.
Rebels said more than 40 Grad rockets hit Zintan late on Tuesday, and aid deliveries to the western port of Misurata were hindered by artillery fire and mines near the harbour entrance.
Rebel spokesmen said fighting had flared again in Misurata's eastern suburbs, but that intense air strikes by NATO planes appeared to have won the port, the city's lifeline, a respite in shelling by Libyan leader Muammar Gaddafi's forces.
Citat:According to AFP news agency, international forces are seeking to weaken but not to kill Muammar Gaddafi by bombarding his strategic sites, Alain Juppe, French foreign minister said on Wednesday.
"Our aim is not to kill Gaddafi," Juppe said on news channel France 24, describing as "collateral damage" the death of one of the ruler's sons in a recent NATO air strike.
"We are targeting military sites in Tripoli" in an attempt to weaken Gaddafi's regime, which is in a fierce fight against rebels who are recognised by France.
