10 dead, 26 wounded as Gaddafi forces attack Misrata

An attack by Muammar Gaddafi's forces on Libya's third-largest city Misrata on Wednesday killed 10 rebel fighters and wounded 26, a rebel spokesman in the city said.
Between 2,000 and 3,000 Gaddafi troops attacked the Mediterranean port city from the south, west and east, Hassan al-Galai said.

They deployed Grad rockets as well as tanks and heavy artillery but were repulsed by the rebels who prevented them from entering the city, Galai said.

He said there had been no intervention by NATO-led aircraft and that the fighting was still raging at 6pm
