Deaths reported in battle for Zawiya

A battle for key Libyan city, Zawiya, about fifty Kilometres from Tripoli, has resulted in more deaths and injuries in the current revolution, according to reports on Saturday. Sources suggested that up to fifty people may have died, with hundreds injured. 

The fighting intensified after forces under the country’s besieged leader, Muammar Gadaffi, tried to retake the city from rebels in the afternoon. They seem to have a stronghold in the capital. 

The details remain very unclear as the struggle for power continues unchecked in many different locations spread across Libya. Both sides are desperate to gain an advantage, but the current situation is as confused and unstable as ever, with most Libyans simply hoping for an end to the violence.
