NATO, Gaddafi Forces Launch New Attacks 
----------------------------------------



Fighting continues in Libya with new attacks both by NATO and the forces
led by Col. Muammar Gaddafi. NATO warplanes are bombing the Libyan
capital Tripoli following at least 14 air strikes on Thursday.
Meanwhile, at least 12 rebel fighters have been killed in shelling by
Gaddafi's forces near the city of Misrata. The violence comes as
international diplomats gathered in Abu Dhabi for a meeting of the Libya
Contact Group. U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton said Gaddafi must
be forced out.

Secretary of State Hillary Clinton: "Today's successful Contact Group
meeting was a powerful statement that our coalition remains united and
committed. We reaffirmed there is only one way forward for Libya:
attacks against civilians must stop; Gaddafi must go, and the Libyan
people deserve to determine their own future."
