TRIPOLI (Reuters) – Western warplanes silenced Muammar Gaddafi's artillery and tanks besieging the rebel-held town of Misrata on Wednesday after an American admiral warned that the Libyan leader's armor was now in the cross-hairs.
Breathing defiance,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych],[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], Gaddafi earlier said Western powers carrying out air strikes on Libya were "a bunch of fascists who will end up in the dustbin of history."
The Western powers enforcing the U.N. resolution to protect Libyan civilians are struggling to agree on a coherent command structure including NATO after Washington said it wanted to hand over leadership of the campaign in the coming days
"The National Libyan Council aren't the people to ask for anything to be frank. We want help from the West. If it weren't for them,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], Gaddafi's forces would be in Benghazi,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych],[link widoczny dla zalogowanych]," Ali said.
As the rebels sought to organize their command structure on the battlefield,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], the rebel political leadership named Mahmoud Jabril to head an interim government and pick ministers.
Jabril, a reformer who was once involved in a project to establish a democratic state in Libya, is already the head of a crisis committee to cover military and foreign affairs.
Council members were in Paris on Wednesday, and gave assurances a secular democracy would respect all oil contracts.
