Libya's Misrata sees slow return to normality
More than a year ago, Muammar Gaddafi's forces besieged Misrata, Libya's third largest city, turning it into a battlefield and causing many to lose their livelihoods. It has been a slow process returning the city to its former state. With the destruction still evident, and much of the centre in ruins, many residents say the government is not doing enough to heal the scars left from the height of the revolt. Al Jazeera's Omar Al Saleh reports from Misrata.

Medical aid agency suspends services in Misrata
The non-profit medical organization Medecins Sans Frontieres has suspended its services in detention centers in the Libyan town of Misrata over reports that medical personnel were asked to bandage up detainees allegedly subjected to repeated torture. Misrata witnessed one of the biggest clashes during the uprising against Muammar Qaddafi last year. According to the aid agency, they came to the town to cater to casualties of war and sick detainees, but the staff soon found them treating people inflicted during torture interrogations. While the agency said they alerted local authorities of their concerns, they received no response, consequentially leaving the agency no choice but to halt their services. Reports of the maltreatment of Qaddafi loyalists goes against the country's interim government's pledge to respect all human rights, unlike what was witnessed in the former Libyan strongman's 42 years of rule. Such accusations also leave Western powers in an awkward position seeing as they supported the uprising that led to the ouster of Qaddafi and his regime. Although the National Transitional Council said it would address such issues, they are limited by the fact that the torture is predominantly administered by local militants who are excluded from the governmental framework. United Nations human rights head, Navi Pillay, said on Wednesday that despite the NTC's efforts, detainees are still subjected to torture. By Noora Faraj Al Arabiya with Agencies

Kadhafi capturé vivant, sa dépouille à Misrata (vidéo)
Lire la suite: www.actualites.fr Contrairement à ce qui avait été au départ affirmé, l'ancien leader libyen n'a pas été tué lors d'un bombardement du convoi qui tentait de fuire Syrte. D'après Le Monde, la disparition du Guide a eu lieu lors de la tentative de sortie de la ville de Syrte d'un convoi de véhicules qui a été "intercepté et bombardé". Son convoi qui tentait de quitter Syrte a été stoppé par une attaque de l'aviation française, confirme le ministre de la défense Gérard Longuet. Il a cependant précisé que Mouammar Kadhafi avait ensuite été tué par des combattants libyens. Les avions français ont pris pour cible une colonne d'environ 80 véhicules 4X4 qui tentaient une sortie en force de Syrte, a raconté le ministre lors d'une conférence de presse. "Ils ont été stoppés dans leur progression mais non détruits par l'intervention de l'aviation française, en l'occurrence des Mirage, et ce sont des combattants au sol de Misrata qui ont intercepté une partie du convoi", at-il dit. Une partie du convoi a alors pris une direction qui l'a "mis sous le contrôle de la katiba 'Tiger' de Misrata" (la brigade des combattants du CNT). Pris dans cette "situation d'embuscade", le convoi a été bloqué et ses occupants neutralisés.
