Airstrikes by Allies ‘Pressurizing’ Qaddafi’s Forces

U.S. and allied warplanes are striking Muammar Qaddafi’s ground forces that have continued attacks on Libyan cities, as NATO members failed for a third day to resolve disputes over a role for the alliance.

Libyan government forces have increased their attacks on cities, killing 16 people today in embattled Misrata and six in the nearby coastal town of Zentan, opposition spokesman Abdulhafid Ghoga said at a news conference in Benghazi.
