Libya revolutionary sources said Muammar Gaddafi's forces fired rockets at the western towns of Zintan and Misrata on Friday, Al Arabiya reported.

It was unclear whether the rockets were fired after the government declared a ceasefire in its offensive to crush the Libyan revolt after the U.N. Security Council passed a resolution authorizing military action against Gaddafi's forces.

"Gaddafi's forces are bombing the city with artillery shells and tanks. We now have 25 people dead at the hospital, including several little girls," Dr Khaled Abou Selha told Reuters by satellite phone.

"They are even bombing ambulances. I saw one little girl with half of her head blown off," he said, crying.
