More Airstrikes on Libya Rebels at Ras Lanouf

Updated 9:15 a.m. ET, March 8

Libyan government forces pounded the oil port of Ras Lanouf with fresh airstrikes Tuesday, with warplanes hitting at least five sites in the area. The strikes are part of a renewed effort to beat rebels back by air as they push westward on the ground trying to reach the capital of Tripoli. The airstrikes are also targeting a main highway toward Tripoli. The openness of the terrain has put rebel fighters at a disadvantage against the government's airpower.

Thirty miles from Tripoli, there are witness reports that loyalists of Moammar Gadhafi have retaken the city of Zawiya after a barrage of artillery and that government tanks could be seen in the streets. Unlike the progressive momentum in favor of the opposition seen in uprisings in Tunisia and Egypt, there has been a growing stalemate in Libya as fighting extends to a third week and anti-government fighters battle for territory.

The bloody crackdown has left other world powers scrambling to formulate a response to the crisis. The opposition has called for an internationally imposed no-fly zone, and while Britain and France have said they are drafting one for the U.N. Security Council, Russia has said it would oppose it and has the veto power to do so. NATO boosted so-called surveillance flights over the country, but while President Obama has said the United States was considering "potential military options," no direct intervention appears imminent.

The upheaval has also raised concern over spiking oil prices. Libya normally produces more than 1.5 million barrels of oil a day.

3.21pm: Benghazi's Tahrir Square has seen its first wedding ceremony since the start of the uprising, al Arabiya reports:

Faisal, the groom, does not find it strange to marry in such circumstances and thinks that his ceremony will not be the last.

"Come everyday to the square and you will witness more wedding ceremonies," he told Al Arabiya.

The bride's father, Ali Saleh, agrees with his son-in-law and expects joy to spread all over Libya.

Followers of the Guardian's Middle East blogs over the past few weeks might recall an an Egyptian couple marrying in Cairo's Tahrir Square, the heart of the Egyptians' revolution.

22. EGYPT: Cairo "million woman march" turning ugly...

From The Guardian's News Blog:

3.42pm - Egypt:

There are signs that a "million woman march" being held in Cairo to coincide with International Women's Day is turning ugly. Women are demanding female input on the drafting of Egypt's constitution (the committee drawing up amendments is all male) and legislative changes that will guarantee complete gender equality but there is a counterprotest.

@pakinammer is tweeting from the protest. Here's a selection from her recent updates:

A guy now is schooling us on how women should stay home and raise men who can become presidents =) #Tahrir

A physical scuffle broke out now now. I think I'm leaving. This can get disgusting, easily. #Tahrir #Women #Protests

One man, carried on shoulders, shouting: "A woman's place is her house." Some women arguing back. No point if you ask me. #Tahrir #Sick

Hundreds rally in West Bank, Gaza for Women's Day

Palestinian women took to the streets on Tuesday to call for unity and an end to the Israeli occupation in a series of rallies called to mark International Women's Day.

In Gaza City, around 500 women waving Palestinian flags marched through the city centre demanding an end to the political division between the rival Palestinian factions, Fatah and Hamas, an AFP correspondent said.

Holding banners calling for equality and justice for Palestinian women, they marched from the Square of the Unknown Soldier past the parliament building and on to the headquarters of the United Nations in the Hamas-run Gaza Strip.

"No to division, yes to national unity," they chanted in a rally which passed off peacefully.

Moammar Gadhafi's forces used tanks and fired rockets to bombard rebels on the frontline between east and west Libya, according to rebels who complained they could not match the Libyan leader's fire-power.

"People are dying out there. Gadhafi's forces have rockets and tanks," shouted Abdel Salem Mohamed, 21, returning to Ras Lanuf from the front.

...


'Shot on sight'

Government artillery also pounded Zawiya, the closest rebel-held city to the capital Tripoli as trapped residents cowered from the onslaught, witnesses said.

...


"The city is in ruins," he said. "Some buildings have been entirely destroyed and everyone on the street is shot on sight. There are many wounded but the hospitals are running out of supplies," he said.


The Associated Press, Reuters and NBC News contributed to this report.
