Libya Live: coalition enforces no-fly zone on Muammar Gaddafi - Telegraph
"11.02 As the rebels make sweeping gains in the east of Libya, more signs that it is the government which is on the offensive in the west. At Zintan - the scene of French airstrikes at the weekend - pro-Gaddafi forces have been bombarding the town with rockets according to Al Jazeera.
10.27 it is now becoming clear that the rebel advance on Sirte was halted outside the city after shelling by pro-Gaddafi forces. With convoys of reinforcements in pick-up trucks said to be pouring west from Benghazi, the insurgents are reported to have pulled back to Bin Jawad, 85 miles to the east of Sirte, an oil town which fell into their control on Sunday.
09.41 The Daily Telegraph's Damien McElroy, in Tripoli, says claims of the fall of Sirte appear to be premature.
Reports from Muammar Gaddafi's hometown of Sirte suggest the town remains loyal to the regime despite rebel claims it had fallen without resistance.
Loyalists are parading in the streets waving Gaddafi's Green flag, troops in camouflage uniforms are heavily deployed and wide avenues of the city are under the control of local volunteers."
Any bombing of Site, and other previously bombed Libyan cities, towns, shacks, therefore will be illegal ("civilian populated areas") under the UNSCR resolution and even NATO's unpublished "deal"
