Credit: Reuters/Yannis Behrakis By Mussab al-Khairalla TRIPOLI | Fri Apr 15, 2011 11:17am EDT TRIPOLI (Reuters) - A fresh hail of government rockets crashed into Misrata on Friday after Western allies denounced a "medieval siege" of the city and vowed to keep bombing Muammar Gaddafi's forces until he stepped down A local doctor told Al Jazeera at least eight people died and seven others were wounded in the second day of intense bombardment of Misrata, a lone rebel bastion in western Libya. Residents told the television network at least 120 rockets hit the city, where hundreds of civilians are reported to have died in a six-week siege. The suffering of Misrata is heaping pressure on Western allies to step up air attacks to stop the bombardment, but NATO is split over providing more planes for the task. British Foreign Secretary William Hague said at a NATO ministerial meeting in Berlin that London was making progress in persuading other members to provide more strike aircraft, but Italy immediately ruled out joining attacks. Britain, France and the United States said in a joint newspaper article on Friday: "It is unthinkable that someone who has tried to massacre his own people can play a part in their future government." But their clear intention to achieve regime change in Libya goes well beyond the terms of a United Nations resolution authorizing air strikes to protect civilians and other allies have misgivings. Gaddafi's daughter Aisha told a rally in Tripoli that demanding his departure was an insult. In a strongly worded article published on both sides of the Atlantic, British Prime Minister David Cameron, French President Nicolas Sarkozy and U.S. President Barack Obama said leaving Gaddafi in power would be an "unconscionable betrayal." "So long as Gaddafi is in power, NATO and its coalition partners must maintain their operations so that civilians remain protected and the pressure on the regime builds," they said. The statement seemed intended to both paper over cracks in the Atlantic alliance and increase resolve to stick with the air campaign despite increasing differences. BACK SEAT The United States has taken a back seat in the air campaign after handing command to NATO on March 31 and France has suggested it needs to return to the campaign. This would bring to bear U.S. precision ground attack aircraft that analysts say could tip the balance against Gaddafi while providing stronger safeguards against hitting civilians. France and Britain, the NATO hawks on Libya, have led the air campaign but are growing impatient with lack of commitment and provision of ground strike aircraft from other members. 1 2 3 Next World United Nations Italy Libya Tweet this Share this Link this Digg this Email Reprints We welcome comments that advance the story directly or with relevant tangential information.
