Italy Plans To Bomb Libya As Gaddafi Forces Continue To Shell Besieged City of Misurata 
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



In news on Libya, Italy has announced it will begin using its Air Force
to bomb military targets in Libya in the latest escalation by NATO
forces. Italy had previously said it would not take part in NATO-led air
strikes, citing its former 40-year colonial rule of Libya. Meanwhile,
forces loyal to Gaddafi are continuing to shell the city of Misurata.
There are reports Gaddafi's forces are using human shields in the city.
