Televisyen pemerintah Libya mengatakan pada hari Minggu lalu (8/5) bahwa sekelompok pemberontak di kota yang dikuasai oleh kumpulan penentang Libya di Misrata telah menyerah diri kepada pasukan pemerintah Gaddafi.

Saluran televisyen Al-Jamahiriya tidak memberikan angka yang jelas tetapi menurut seorang jurucakap tentera yang mengatakan bahwa beberapa orang dari mereka (kelompok pemberontak) telah menyerahkan diri sambil membuat rakaman "pengakuan" yang mengaku menyerah diri itu akan ditayangkan di televisyen nanti.

Perkembangan ini muncul ketika kota Libya Misrata barat masih dalam keadaan terkepung dan masih menerima serangan dari pasukan pro-Gaddafi. Pasukan pro Gaddafi dengan persenjataan berat terus mebedil pelabuhan yang ada di kota itu, bersamaan dengan adanya laporan bahwa pasukan pemberontak telah mengakui bahwa mereka mulai kehabisan makanan dan dalam keadaan yang kehabisan bahan bakar.(fq/reu)

Libyan rebels to receive £1.8 billion trust fund

Libya's opposition is to get access to a special $3 billion (£1.8 billion) trust fund established by its Western backers to finance the breakaway regions fighting Col Muammar Gaddafi.

Six Libyan villagers are recovering in hospital after being shot by American soldiers coming in to rescue the U.S. pilots whose plane crash-landed in a field.

The helicopter strafed the ground as it landed in a field outside Benghazi beside the downed U.S. Air Force F-15E Eagle which ran into trouble during bombing raid last night.

And a handful of locals who had come to greet the pilots were hit - among them a young boy who may have to have a leg amputated because of injuries caused by a bullet wound.
