Pro-Gaddafi forces continue shelling Misrata - Xinhua

TRIPOLI, April 4 (Xinhua) -- Forces loyal to Libyan leader Muammar Gaddafi have been shelling the rebel-held city of Misrata, 150 km from the capital Tripoli, according to Al-Jazeera TV.

The shelling started in early morning and is still continuing, using mortars and artillery.

Fierce fighting between the opposition and forces loyal to Gaddafi has raged for weeks in Misrata, the country's third largest city, which lies on the coast in the western part in the country.

Pro-government forces in Misrata shelled a medical clinic Sunday, killing one person and wounding 15 others, according to a doctor who was not identified for security reasons.
