Gaddafi planes 'destroy Misurata fuel tanks'

Rebels say Nato was alerted but failed to respond to raid by small aircraft on besieged city’s “only source” of fuel.

Government forces used small, pesticide-spraying planes for the overnight attack in Qasr Ahmed close to the port, Ahmed Hassan, [rebel] spokesman, said on Saturday. […]

The rebels have also accused Gaddafi of using helicopters bearing the Red Cross emblem of dropping mines into Misurata’s harbour.
