NATO Strike Kills 12 Libyan Rebels In Misurata -- New York Times

MISURATA, Libya — At least one NATO warplane attacked a rebel position on the front lines of this besieged city on Wednesday, a rebel commander said, killing 12 fighters and wounding five others in what he called an accident that could have been avoided.

The rebels were at first reluctant to admit the killings had occurred, saying they did not want to discourage further airstrikes against the forces of Col. Muammar el-Qaddafi, which have been shelling Misurata and pounding it with ground-to-ground rocket fire. The pace of NATO strikes had picked up noticeably in recent days, after rebel leaders complained of a lack of support since the United States turned over operational control of the air campaign to NATO at the end of March.

WASHINGTON — NATO plans to step up attacks on the palaces, headquarters and communications centers that Col. Muammar el-Qaddafi uses to maintain his grip on power in Libya, according to Obama administration and allied officials.

White House officials said President Obama had been briefed on the more energetic bombing campaign, which included a strike early on Monday on Colonel Qaddafi’s residential compound in the heart of Tripoli, the capital.

PARIS — The commander of NATO operations in Libya said Tuesday that alliance bombers attacked a large government compound in Tripoli on Monday to destroy command and control nodes, and not to assassinate Libyan leader Moammar Gaddafi.

The assertion, by Lt. Gen. Charles Bouchard, the Canadian national who commands NATO’s Operation Unified Protector, was designed to refute accusations by Libyan officials that the aim of a strike early Monday was to assassinate Gaddafi in violation of international law.

EU To Use Military In Libya If UN Gives Mandate -- Irish Times

EUROPEAN FOREIGN ministers resolved to conduct an EU military operation in Libya if the UN requests a mission to support humanitarian relief and protect refugees.

Ireland might participate in such an operation, to be known as “EUfor Libya”, as it would have a UN mandate.

Libya: William Hague Calls On Nato To Step Up Attacks -- The Telegraph

Nato must step up its air attacks on ground targets in Libya and the first condition of any future ceasefire is a full retreat by Colonel Muammar Gaddafi's forces from rebel held areas, William Hague said today.

Arriving at a meeting of EU foreign ministers in Luxembourg, the Foreign Secretary called on the Alliance to increase the tempo of military strikes and insisted that there could be no peace in Libya until Col. Gaddafi departed.

”We must maintain and intensify our efforts in Nato. That is why the UK has in the last week supplied additional aircraft for striking ground targets threatening the civilian population of Libya,” he said.

”Of course, it would be welcome if other countries also do the same. There is always more to do.”

Libya's revolutionary leadership has flatly rejected an African Union peace initiative because it does not require Muammar Gaddafi to immediately relinquish power.

The rebels' interim ruling council met an AU delegation from five countries – led by three presidents and two foreign ministers – the day after Gaddafi endorsed the African "roadmap to peace", which included an immediate ceasefire, the suspension of Nato air strikes and talks towards a political settlement.
