Rebels warn of 'massacre' in Misurata - Africa - Al Jazeera English: "Rebels have warned of an impending 'massacre' by troops loyal to Muammar Gaddafi if NATO does not intensify its attacks on government forces in and around Misurata, which has been besieged for weeks.

Libyan government forces launched a heavy attack against the coastal city on Thursday, with dozens of Grad rockets, killing at least 23 people, a rebel spokesman said."
