Tripoli - NATO warships have reportedly managed to halt several boats of Gaddafi forces laying anti-shipping mines outside the harbour of the Libyan city of Misurata.

"We have just seen Gaddafi forces floating anti-ship mines outside Misurata harbour today," The Telegraph quoted British Brigadier Rob Weighill, Director of NATO operations in Libya, as saying.

"It again shows his complete disregard for international law and his willingness to attack humanitarian delivery efforts," he added.

Misurata, which has been under siege by Gaddafi loyalists for several weeks, has remained dependent for much of its food and supplies on the sea link with the rebel capital Benghazi.

2. Events commonly get reported after they've happened, not as they're happening

I'm sure you must know that.


ETA Thanks for the link, though. It's a good article.
