MISURATA // Forces loyal to the Libyan leader Colonel Muammar Qaddafi bombarded the rebel-held city of Misurata with mortars yesterday, as the United States said a fresh ceasefire offer from the Libyan leader's government was not credible.
The bombardment of Misurata was the heaviest for days and came as western leaders, gathering for a Group of Eight summit in the French seaside resort of Deauville, were expected to reiterate their determination to force Colonel Qaddafi out.
Rebel spokesmen in Misurata, the scene of some of the fiercest fighting in Libya's three-month-old conflict, said the mortar attack killed three rebels.
Spain said it was one of several foreign states contacted by the Libyan prime minister, al Baghdadi Ali al Mahmoudi, with an offer of an immediate ceasefire.
But the White House deputy national security adviser, Ben Rhodes, speaking in Deauville, said the United States did not see the new Libyan ceasefire offer as credible because it was not accompanied by action.
Libya was not complying with UN demands and its forces were still attacking population centres, so the United States would continue with the military campaign, he told reporters...

um isn't that What a cease fire is for so that both sides will cease fire.
Isn't helping the people NOT get killed the reason "NATO" went in?
To stop the killing?
Another BS foreign war. maybe in 3-4 years we'll know what it's about.
