Forces loyal to Muammar Qaddafi committed possible war crimes in the battle for Misrata, a U.S.- based human rights group said, as some of the fallen leader’s family fled to neighboring Algeria.
Those crimes include murder, torture and rape, Physicians for Human Rights said in a report. The Boston-based group cited interviews with 54 residents of Misrata and its surrounding villages that it said were conducted in June, shortly after rebel forces captured the western coastal city.
