Libyan Dictators Troops 'to pull out' from Misurata as the US approves the use of armed drones in the fight against Dictators Brutal Forces.

Khaled Kaim, claiming to be Libya's deputy foreign minister, has said that pro-gaddafi forces will withdraw from Misurata, leaving the tribes to deal with the freedom figters.

"The situation in Misurata will be dealt with by the tribes around Misurata and Misurata's residents and not by the Libyan Troops," Kaim told journalists late on Friday.




"We will leave the tribes around Misrata and Misrata's people to deal with the situation, either using force or negotiation." Kaim said the Libyan troops had been given an "ultimatum" to stop the rebellion in the western city, 200km east of the capital Tripoli.



"There was an ultimatum to the Libyan army: if they cannot solve the problem in Misurata, then the people from (the neighbouring towns of) Zliten, Tarhuna, Bani Walid and Tawargha will move in and they will talk to the freedom figters. If they don't surrender, then they will engage them in a fight."

Kaim's announcement is a turning point for the besieged city, which has come under heavy fire from forces loyal to Libyan Dictator Muammar Gaddafi.

Hours after the announcement of a shift in tactics in Misurata by forces of Dictator Muammar Gaddafi, NATO bombs struck what appeared to be a bunker near his compound in central Tripoli.

Regime spokesman Mussa Ibrahim said three people were killed by the "very powerful explosion" in a car park near Gaddafi's Bab al-Aziziyah compound.

Reuters reporters said the area was surrounded by a wall and guarded by watchtowers and soldiers. They saw two large holes in the ground where the bombs had torn through soil and reinforced concrete, to pierce what appeared to be an underground bunker.

Smoke was rising from one of the craters and ammunition crates lay nearby. Ibrahim said the area was disused and the ammunition boxes were empty.

Opposition repulse ferocious assault by Pro Gaddafi forces - Joy for Opposition in Libya !

CNN ; Standing outside a courthouse Sunday that the Libyan opposition is using for a base of operations in the town of Misrata, a witness described a sense of jubilation against a backdrop of blood stains and rocket fragments."I'm standing in the middle of a ... battlefield," the witness told CNN by phone from Misrata after a fierce fight between rebels and Libyan leader Moammar Gadhafi's forces.
People were holding their hands up, singing, chanting and cheering, he said. "Everyone is hugging everyone."


CNN is not identifying witnesses and sources for safety reasons.Videos posted on YouTube and thought to be out of Misrata showed damage to buildings and several shots of people celebrating around the opposition flag -- once being raised on a pole, and another time being waved by a man atop a charred vehicle that had a dead body inside.





A doctor at Central Misrata Hospital said 42 people were killed in the fighting -- 17 from the opposition and 25 from the pro-Gadhafi forces. Among the dead was a 3-year-old child, killed from direct fire, the doctor said. At least 85 people were wounded, the doctor said.


The fighting continued on the city's outskirts Sunday evening.


The witness described the opposition's victory in central Misrata even as people some 200 kilometers (125 miles) west, at a pro-Gadhafi demonstration in Tripoli, insisted the government had taken back the coastal central Libyan city.


After reports of the opposition successfully holding onto Misrata, east of Tripoli, Libyan state TV showed a graphic stating that "strict orders have been issued to the armed forces not to enter cities taken by terrorist gangs."


On Sunday morning, pro-Gadhafi militias converged on Misrata from three different points, trying to retake control of the city, the witness said. He saw four tanks, though other witnesses told him there were a total of six. Using heavy artillery, the ground forces and tanks headed for the courthouse operations base.


Tanks fired rockets at the building, and black smoke could be seen rising from it, he said.


The opposition couldn't match the government's weaponry, but rebels took to the streets using what weapons they had, such as machine guns. And some simply picked up whatever they could find, with some resorting to sticks, he said.


Speaking to CNN during the battle, he said, "People are willing to die for the cause," describing them as "fearless" and "amazing."
Later, after the forces had been repelled from the city center, the witness said, "I can't believe it.


"The will and the determination and dedication that people are showing here on the ground, it just makes you speechless," he said.
Describing the scene, he said, "We're talking about a rocket on the ground. We're talking about blood everywhere."


CNN could not confirm witness reports for many areas in Libya, including Misrata.
Valerie Amos, the United Nations' Under Secretary-General for Humanitarian Affairs, said Sunday that there was "urgent" need for humanitarian aid in Misrata because "people are dying and need help immediately." The world body has gotten reports that Libyan Red Crescent ambulances dispatched from Tripoli have been trying to get into Misrata to transport out dead and injured people.


"I call on the authorities to provide access without delay to allow aid workers to help save lives," Amos said in a statement.
