3:11pm The city of Misurata, 200km east of Tripoli, has also been attacked - from three directions, Al Jazeera is told. Further east, there have been deaths among anti-Gaddafi fighters in Bin Jawad, as they also came under renewed attack. But the opposition forces have vehemently denied Libyan state TV reports that Gaddafi's troops had re-taken control of Az Zawiyah, Misurata, Ras Lanuf and Tobruk.
3:05pm Az Zawiyah is still under attack, being shelled from the west, as tanks attempt to enter the city, Al Jazeera Arabic reports. Political activist Abdel Fatah said: Gaddafi tanks attacked the city, supported by armoured vehicles ... some tanks are now under siege by rebels inside a main square of the city.
