Libyan rebels shell pro Gadhafi positions just outside Brega, Libya, Tuesday, April 5, 2011. Libyan government forces on Tuesday unleashed a withering bombardment of the rebels outside a key oil town pushing them back, even as the regime said Moammar Gadhafi might consider some reforms but would not stepping down.
The Libyan rebels said on Tuesday that NATO was too slow to act and they would ask the UN Security Council to suspend its operation unless it "did its job properly".
"Either NATO does its work properly or we will ask the Security Council to suspend its work," said Abdel Fattah Younes, head of the rebel forces, speaking at a news conference in Benghazi in the rebel-held east.
He said NATO's inaction was allowing forces loyal to Muammar Gadhafi to advance and letting them kill the people of the rebel-held city of Misrata "every day". "NATO is moving very slowly, allowing Col. Gadhafi forces to advance," he said. "NATO has become our problem," he said.
