Three people were killed, according to al-Jazeera, said the spokesman for the Government Mousa Ibrahim.

More than two months of fighting between Qathafi forces and rebels seeking to end its role of 42 years is on the ground in a military stalemate with the Government to control a large part of the West of the country and the insurgents holding the Eastern. Misrata, the largest city in the West, held the rebels has been besieged for more than six weeks and undergoes daily bombardment.
