Ahmed Bemoussa, Member of the Council who visited the region, said people there were shelled the forces of Col. Gaddafi constant and had run out of water.

Mr. said Bemoussa strikes of NATO in the area seem to be doing little to stop the attacks and appealed for the creation of a corridor internationally monitored to provide assistance.

Restrictions on the statement in Libya mean that these accounts are difficult to verify.

But the BBC David Loyn of Benghazi, explains that, if Mr. Bemoussa is credible, conditions in the mountain region have become are as bad as during the worst days of fighting in the coastal town of Misrata last month.

Libya: NATO strike oil port of Ras Lanouf

TRIPOLI, Libya - NATO aircraft dazzled an oil terminal in an eastern city key at dusk Sunday, Libyan TV reported, after Britain had urged the alliance to expand its assault on areas controlled by the leader Muammar Gaddafi.

Vice-Minister of Foreign Affairs Libya Khaled Kaim strongly condemns this call, describing as a "provocation."

Libya TV report said that the bombs struck methanol tanks, oil port of Ras Lanouf causing leaks. NATO officials made no immediate comment.

The attack came as the Libyan dispute appeared largely intractable, with each side claiming gains in a day, only to be removed the next.

Libyan rebels said Sunday that they have taken full control of the city of Misrata of Western port, 125 miles (200 km) of Tripoli, the main town in the West of the Libya with a projecting significant rebel. The rebels claim could not be confirmed.

In Misrata, rebel fighter Abdel Salam has described the situation in Misrata as static.

"The situation is almost frozen, the rebels are in full control of Misrata," said. "The rebels do not all major fronts fighting with the forces of Gaddafi.".

The two parties have been intensely fighting on Misrata, symbolic because of its location near capital of Gaddafi. His forces bombed the city strongly and on some points take position within neighbourhoods Misrata firing on civilians and combatants, while avoiding the NATO air strikes. Rebels and residents said Kadhafi forces remain on the edges of the city.

More than 1,000 people died in Misrata in fighting and shelling.

The Hunter of rebels refused earlier reports, suggesting that the rebels advancing towards the Western City of Zlitan, which would be the next step on the road to Tripoli.

"The rebels agreed it is better not to go ahead or to open new fronts", he said.

He added: "this will be a great risk to move forward." Everything could be and we cost heavy causalities. This is not the right decision to make now. ?

The head of the British armed forces, General David Richards, seemed to relate to the stalemate and frustration of the West over the slow pace of the war in Libya, with Gaddafi still in power, able to taunt NATO for failing to remove him.

In comments published in The Sunday Telegraph in London, Richards has urged NATO to expand the range of targets, that alliance planes are allowed to knock in the efforts to counter the attacks of the regime of Gadhafi on the demonstrators. Richards said that "the most intense military action" was needed or the conflict could end the impasse.

Kaim, Vice-Minister of Foreign Affairs, said appeal Richards is emblematic of the attacks of the international alliance, which he said exceeded the mandate of the United Nations that allowed them to start.

"This threat is to terrorize civilians", he said Monday at the start a discussion late evening with journalists in the Libyan capital.

Kaim also said NATO strikes have been aimed to kill Gaddafi. However, "these attempts to kill the Chief are a complete waste of time," he said.

Gaddafi has rarely seen or heard since a strike killed his son on April 30. He briefly presented to the State television and another day he released a minute-long voice message.

Kaim said Kadhafi is always "" the leader of the country - but not in charge of the day-to-day business.""

The call to expand the NATO strikes on the Libya came that the prosecutors of the International Criminal Court has put the final touches on their case against three Libyan leaders on charges of murder and persecution in the brutal repression of anti-Government rebels.

The Prosecutor Luis Moreno-Ocampo will introduce a document 74 pages with nine annexes describing the allegations and seek arrest warrants for three Libyan leaders regarded as more responsible for the atrocities.

Luis Moreno-Ocampo did not disclose the names of the three, but Gaddafi should largely be among them.

Kaim dismissed the planned arrest warrants, saying that the Government would "show the attention on the decision." He said that the Libya did not recognize the jurisdiction of the Court international or African.

Kaim cited the case of Sudanese President Omar al-Bashir, who was charged with crimes including genocide in Darfur, following a probe of the Security Council mandate and travelled to friendly nations several times without judgment.

Also Sunday, Special Envoy of the United Nations for the Libya, Elah Abdel Al-Khatib, issued a one-day visit to Tripoli, Kaim and a statement of the United Nations stated, in part to try to pressure for a ceasefire. Al-Khatib met with tribal leaders and senior officials of the Government. Cease-fire efforts were unsuccessful.

While refusing to comment on the attack on Ras Lanouf, which is subject to midway between Tripoli and the stronghold of the rebels of Benghazi in eastern Libya, a spokesman for NATO in Naples, who refused to give her name said that there is a NATO about midday airstrike Sunday near Zawara50 kilometres (30) (miles) from the Tunisian border. He said that it was a strike on a military post of pro-Gaddafi where there is equipment used to target civilians.

For Tunisia tap news agency said that NATO aircraft bombed-out barracks and radar facilities in the town of Libyan Boukamache about 11 miles (17 km) from the Tunisian border.

Libyans have been casting of Boukamache through in Tunisia via the border post of Ras Jdir, said the report.

Detonations could be heard Ras Jdir border post, where the Tunisian army is on alert since Saturday after a power outage on the Libyan side.

TAP also reported that forces Tunisian Saturday thwarted a push by the forces of Gaddafi 200 some all-terrain vehicles 50 on Tunisian territory.

Libyans tried to enter the Tunisia to regain the strategic Dhehiba border crossing, controlled by the Libyan rebels for the past few weeks. The Tunisian army sent tanks, armoured vehicles and troops reinforcements in the area in response, TAP reported.

An activist in the town of Zintan in the extreme west, said pro-Gaddafi ruins the area late Saturday.

In a further gesture against Gaddafi, League of Arab States said meeting in Cairo, has asked the Libyan official Arabsat satellite operating company to stop transmitting television channels. The Arab League is the owner of the satellite. He did not step clear when the decision would come into force.

Lament revenge in Libya after NATO strike (AP)

TRIPOLI, Libya - Libyan shouting for revenge his anti-aircraft fire thundering second youngest son of buried Muammar Gaddafi Monday, as in South Africa warned that the NATO bombing that killed would bring only more violence.

Leader of the Libya did not attend the tumultuous funeral of 29 years Seif al-Arab, but more former brothers Seif el-Islam and Mohammed paid their respect, inhabited by a crowd of several thousand. Jostled to get closer to the coffin, draped with a flag Libyan green, lament flashed signs of victory and chanted "Revenge, revenge for you, Libya."

Also, three grandchildren of Gaddafi, a child and two toddlers died in attack on Saturday, which said NATO targeted a centres of command and control of the regime. Gaddafi and his wife were in the compound at the time, but officials free, Libyan escaped have said, accusing the alliance of trying to assassinate the Libyan leader.

Responsible for NATO have denied that they are hunting Gaddafi to break the stalemate in the field of battle between troops and rebels trying for the past of Gaddafi 10 weeks to unseat him. Rebels control most part eastern Libya, while Gaddafi was hooked to a large part of the West, including the capital, Tripoli.

Battles have raged in Misrata, a besieged city of holding of rebels in the West of the Libya, which was bombed by Libyan forces every day in recent weeks. Hospital records showed that at least eight people were killed and 54 wounded in shelling Monday which lasted throughout the morning and during a brief period in the afternoon.

Rebels have requested several times on NATO to use firepower more against Libyan troops. "We call the world to treat al-Gaddafi, as they dealt with bin Laden," said Dr. Misrata, referring to the assassination of the brain of terror Osama bin Laden to Pakistan by US forces Monday at the start. Only, the doctor gave his first name Aiman, for fear of reprisals.

Under the mandate of the United Nations, NATO's role is to protect Libyan civilians, but the international community has increasingly disagree on which implies. Western political leaders have called for overthrow of Kadhafi, which prompted the warnings of the Russia, China and others that regime change should not be the objective of the campaign of attacks NATO, now in its second month.

In response to the attack of compound Gaddafi, South Africa said Monday that "attacks on leaders and officials cannot that lead to escalation of tensions and conflicts on all sides and make future difficult reconciliation." Sunday, the Russia has accused NATO of a "disproportionate use of force" and called for an immediate ceasefire.

South Africa has tried to mediate between Gaddafi and the rebels, proposes a ceasefire and dialogue. Rebel leaders have said they will lay only weapons once Gaddafi and his family leave, but Kadhafi has refused.

Since the beginning of the fighting in mid-February, the Gadhafis have made only rare public appearances.

In funeral Monday, Gaddafi two son Seif el-Islam and Mohammed are surrounded by a crowd of people who bore the coffin to a neglected cemetery, dusty where weeds and Thistles grew up in slabs of stone marking the graves. From several positions near the cemetery sustained anti-aircraft fire erupted for several minutes.

Seif el-Islam, considered until recently by the West as a supporter of reform, stood in the freshly dug falls as the body of his brother withdrew the coffin, wrapped in a white burial shroud and descends into the ground. Seif el-Islam was dressed in traditional Libyan costume, with a black hat and a black jacket on a white shirt for a long time.

About 100 meters (yards), small tombs were dug for the grandchildren of Gaddafi, killed in the attack.

The attack has not deterred Gaddafi to follow its attacks against the third largest city of the Libya, Misrata with 300,000 people. Monday, Misrata, including its port, for several hours, the forces of system deployed on the outskirts of the town bombed and doctors said 12 people were injured.

Hundreds were killed in Misrata in two months of siege by Libyan troops.

These days, Gaddafi forces tried to close access to the port, lifeline of the city. Last week, the NATO ships detected the forces of Gaddafi, then they tried to ask Misrata harbor approaches Ocean mines.

Two of the mines of the sea was tethered on the seafloor and were destroyed, but a third mine broke free and drifted off before the minesweepers arrived. The alliance said its ships of mine clearance have been compensation of Misrata harbor Monday approaches to ensure, there was no naval mines left in surrounding waters.

In Misrata, residents are faced with difficulties, growth said Aiman, the physician of the hospital.

He said that most of the inhabitants are hosting to other families who have fled the bombing. The doctor said that he and his brother host a total of five families with more than 45 people, including 25 children. Almost half of the city has no electricity, he said. People have resorted to the groundwater wells.

Disorders have prompted the UN to withdraw its international staff from Tripoli. Vandals burned British and Italian embassies and an Office of the UN on Sunday.

Turkey - a member of NATO which was an intermediary for the United States, Great Britain and Italy - temporarily closed its Embassy in the capital Libyan and sent his staff in nearby Tunisia due to the deterioration of security, said the Minister for Foreign AffairsAhmet Davutoglu. The Turkish Consulate in Benghazi controlled by the rebels, Libya, remains open.

Egypt, meanwhile, sent its first official delegation in Libya to meet with representatives of the Government in Tripoli as well as to rebel representatives of Benghazi in an attempt to "protect innocent civilians and stop the bloodshed," the Ministry of Foreign Affairs spokesman Menha Bakhoumsaid Monday without developing.

Son of NATO strike Kills Gaddafi but Leader escapes

 Libyan leader Muammar Gaddafi escaped a strike missile of NATO to Tripoli on Saturday, but his youngest son and three grandchildren under the age of 12 were killed, said a spokesman for the Government.

The strike which came hours after Gaddafi called for a ceasefire and negotiations in which rebels called a publicity coup, marked an escalation of international efforts to prevent the Libyan regime regain the momentum.

Klaxonné rebels horns and chanting "allah akbar" or "God is great" while speeding through the West city of Misrata, which Kadhafi forces have besieged and subjected to shelling at random for two months, killing hundreds. Fireworks were the central hospital of Hikma, causing a panic brief which light would draw fire forces of Gaddafi.

The attack hit the House of the son of Kadhafi, Seif al-Arab, when Libyan leader and his wife were inside. Shin Inouye White House spokesman refused to comment on the evolution of the situation in Libya, referring to the NATO issues.

The alliance acknowledged that he had hit a "command and control construction in the neighbourhood of Bab al-Azizya" Saturday night, but he could not confirm the death of the son of Gaddafi and insisted that all its objectives are linked to systematic Gaddafi on the population and military attacks in nature.

The Commander of the operation of NATO, Canadian, lieutenant-general Charles Bouchard, said that he was aware of unconfirmed information that some members of the Gaddafi family were killed, and he regretted "all loss of life, especially innocent civilians compromised an ongoing conflict."

Seif al-Arab al-Gaddafi, 29, was the youngest son of Gaddafi and the brother of the better known Seif el-Islam Kadhafi, who had been touted as a reformer before the start of the insurgency mid-February. The younger Kadhafi had spent much of his time in Germany in recent years.

Gaddafi children committed more in covering worthy of a "Libyan soap opera" scandals, including the negative publicity of extravagant displays of wealth as a concert private million a pop diva Beyonce, as a lot of diplomatic cablespublished by the Web of secret-spilling WikiLeaks site.

But Seif al-Arab remained largely in the shadows, although he has a penchant for fast cars and make the feast when outside the Libya.

Muammar al-Gaddafi and his wife were in the House of Tripoli of his 29-year-old son when he was hit at least a bomb dropped a NATO fighter aircraft, according to Libyan spokesman Moussa Ibrahim.

"The Chief himself is in good health," said Ibrahim. "It was not prejudiced." The woman is also in good health. ?

Ibrahim would not give the names of the three children killed, except to say that they were nieces and nephews Seif al-Arab and that they were aged less than 12. He said that they are not releasing the names still to protect the privacy of the family.

He said the compound was hit in the neighbourhood of Garghour.

"It seems there was intelligence was filtered.". They knew something. They expected reason for any. But the target was very clear and very, very clear. The district, yes of course, because the leader family has its place and there, that you may realize of course it could be kept, but it is a normal neighbourhood. Normal Libyan live there, "he says.

Leaders plan pensions strike Bulletin

 teachers say that they will have to work longer for teachers of head money say that they are less likely to vote for a strike vote on plans to change their pension or notduring their annual Conference in Brighton.

The National Association of head teachers, which account for members in England, Wales and Northern Ireland, said heads "feel betrayed" by the plans to curb public sector pensions.

Heads could lose an average of 100,000 pounds of their global pension, it said.

Ministers urge trade unions not to rush on industrial action decisions.

The Government began discussions with the unions and said that it is intended to announce firm proposals for all pensions in the public sector in the fall.

Next April, teachers and other workers in the public sector are invited to pay higher to their pension contributions.

The Hutton Inquiry in public sector pension recommended that most of the employees should move from pension plans 'final salary' to those based on an "average".

They should also retire at age 65, in accordance with the amendments to the pension from the State, he said.

"Betrayed".

Heads and teachers say that which means that they will no longer - work for less money.

Russell Hobby, the Secretary General of the National Association of teachers (NAHT) head said leaders feel angry and betrayed.

Many see the plan as a reward for their accepting lower pay than they could have won in the private sector, he said.

"They rightly see the proposals as an attack on the just reward for a lifetime of public service," he said.

"We see a loss of about 100,000 pounds of pension of the head of the teachers an average.". "Feels like a real betrayal to the profession."

The union will vote on Sunday on whether to organize a ballot for industrial action up to and including a strike. Mr. Hobby, said "Yes" is "very likely".

If the motion is adopted by the Conference, it is likely that the union will be voting - and take any action - in the fall.

But schools could be affected by strikes on pensions before this date. Two classroom teachers ' unions voted for their annual conferences similar action recently and they can vote this term.

The NAHT is strongest in primary schools - where he said that he represented 85% of managers in England, Wales and Northern Ireland.

She said that it represents 40% of the secondary heads.

"Necessary reform."

The Government began discussions with the unions and said that he will announce promise proposals for all pensions in the public sector in the fall.

It aims to define "general principles" for change of pension plans for teachers in England and Wales country at the end of June. Pension plans for teachers in Scotland and the North Ireland are decided by the national administrations.

Schools Minister Nick Gibb said recently at the Conference of teachers pensions of the public service must remain a gold - but that the increase in costs and a greater life expectancy mean the reform was necessary. The Government encourages teachers - and principals - do not precipitate decisions.
