‘Attack By Gaddafi Forces Near Aid Ship’
May 4, 2011 6:51pm UK - Sky News:
Four people have been killed after Colonel Gaddafi’s forces bombed the Libyan port of Misratah where a UK-funded international aid ship was docked, reports say.
The ferry, which has been chartered by the International Organisation for Migration (IOM), had been waiting offshore for a safe moment to enter the port since Saturday.
The Red Star One had to be guided into the harbour on Wednesday in order to avoid mines that had been planted in the water by Col Gaddafi’s troops last week.
Rebels claim a man, woman and two children have been killed after a migrant camp was shelled.
