Search web search Home Singapore Asia Pacific World Business Entertainment Sports Technology Weekend Edition Top Stories Most Popular Photos Full Coverage Sitemap Libya: live report AFP - Monday, March 7 Send IM Story Print 1232 GMT An AFP photographer in Tangiers, Morocco, says a ferry carrying about 2,000 people from Libya has arrived at the port and a second boat is due later in the day. The Berkane ferry had travelled from Benghazi in the east of Libya to Tripoli and then on to Tangiers, in northwestern Morocco. Moroccan authorities, which chartered the boat, say around 4,000 people are expected to arrive at the port today. 1201 GMT More in from the rebel-held town of Misrata, which has been under intense fire from from pro-Kadhafi forces... "Kadhafi forces are shelling Misrata randomly," a rebel spokesman -- who can't be named for security reasons -- tells AFP. "They are using mortars and rockets. They are firing on protesters gathered at Midan Tahrir (Liberation Square) in the city centre and tanks are also shelling houses as well." 1133 GMT Victims continue to arrive at the hospital in Ras Lanuf, AFP's correspondent there reports. "We have two dead and 40 to 45 wounded," says Sami al-Saiti, a doctor at the hospital, adding that they are all Libyan rebels, except one French journalist who was hurt. Rebel forces have retreated from Bin Jawad, saying they were outgunned in the clashes, and told AFP they were unsure whether to press on to Sirte, Kadhafi's home town as planned. 1124 GMT An update is coming in on the situation in Bin Jawad, where earlier 15 were reported injured. That number has now risen to at least 30, medics tell AFP. Two people have also died following the clashes between Libyan rebels and Kadhafi supporters in the hamlet west of Ras Lanuf. 1102 GMT Tanks have shelled the centre of rebel-held Misrata, a resident of Libya's third biggest city tells AFP, warning of "carnage" if the international community did not intervene. "Tanks are shelling the centre of the city, near the radio headquarters. We are also hearing heavy automatic weapon fire," the resident says on condition of anonymity. Firing is clearly audible over the telephone. "The residents are not armed. If the international community doesn't intervene quickly, there will be carnage," the witness adds. 1058 GMT Britain's Defence Secretary Liam Fox has confirmed that a "small British diplomatic team" is in Benghazi amid reports rebels in eastern Libya are holding a British special forces unit and junior diplomat. "I can confirm that a small British diplomatic team is in Benghazi. We are in touch with them but it would be inappropriate for me to comment further on that for reasons I am quite sure you understand," Fox told BBC television. Earlier, The Sunday Times newspaper, reported that the Special Air Service (SAS) soldiers -- thought to be up to eight men -- were captured along with the diplomat they were escorting through the rebel-held east. The FCO would neither confirm nor deny the report. 1053 GMT As thousands continue to flee Libya, Greek coastguards say they have retrieved the bodies of three Bangladeshi nationals who drowned off the coast of Crete when they abandoned a ship that was evacuating them. "Forty-nine people left the ship. They used a rope to climb down," a Merchant Marine official tells AFP. The Cypriot-flagged ship Ionian King was taking 1,280 people from Libya, most of them Bangladeshi nationals. There was speculation that the passengers had disembarked secretly when the ship anchored at Souda Bay because they weren't carrying legal documents and were afraid of being deported. 1045 GMT Libyan rebels say they have pulled back from Bin Jawad, a hamlet where at least 15 people have been wounded today following clashes with loyalists. Doctors earlier rushed the wounded for treatment at a hospital in the oil town of Ras Lanuf further east. Among the injured was a French journalist, medics told AFP. "The militiamen were hiding inside their homes. And they ambushed them," said medic Yusuf Abdul Salam, who brought to the hospital who had been shot in the head. 1039 GMT Thousands of Libyans have been celebrating victories over rebel forces claimed by Kadhafi's regime in the centre of Tripoli with gunfire lasting for hours and hooting of horns. "We are shooting to celebrate because we are beating Al-Qaeda. We have won, Al-Qaeda is gone," one soldier told an AFP correspondent, apparently unaware of rebel denials that key towns had been seized. Troops and militiamen fired their weapons into the air as some 4,000 to 5,000 people demonstrated in the capital's Green Square in favour of Kadhafi, not worrying about where the bullets might be coming down. 1035 GMT A huge explosion has been heard in the rebel-held Libyan oil town of Ras Lanuf, followed by the sound of anti-aircraft guns opening fire, an AFP correspondent reported. The cause of the explosion was not clear, but witnesses said regime forces earlier carried out two air strikes, one near a checkpoint on the eastern extremity of Ras Lanuf and the other at a rebel-occupied army barracks. Welcome to AFP's live coverage of events in Libya where forces loyal to leader Moamer Kadhafi have recaptured a string of key towns, according to state TV. Follow this live report for the latest details on the conflict. Here's a summary of the key developments at 1020 GMT Sunday: -- Battles are raging east and west of Tripoli while thousands continue to flee the violence -- Kadhafi's forces have taken control of the cities of Misrate, Ras Lanuf, according to rebels, while state television reported that Tobruk had been taken by loyalist forces. But AFP correspondents and members of the Libyan opposition have cast doubt on these claims. -- Two air strikes hit Ras Lanuf on Sunday, one near a checkpoint on the eastern extremity of Ras Lanuf and the other at a rebel-occupied army barracks. -- Rebels have vowed to march in Sirte, Kadhafi's home town and the furthest point AFP saw them deployed along the Mediterranean coast on Saturday. -- Sustained automatic gunfire erupted early on Sunday in the centre of Tripoli, an area that has so far been relatively free of violence, AFP's correspondent reported.
