9:54am Libya's government says that its armed forces are under attack west of the rebel-held stronghold of Benghazi and have responded in self-defence.

This was issued in a statement carried by the official Jana news agency:

The gangs of Al-Qaeda attacked the units of the Libyan armed forces stationed to the west of Benghazi.

The statement accused the rebels of using "a helicopter and a fighter jet to bomb the Libyan armed forces in blatant violation of the no-fly zone imposed by the UN Security Council."

10:09am Picture of the Al Jazeera vehicle that was hit in Benghazi:

10:23am Al Jazeera shows pictures of the fighter jet as it was shot down:

680jet.jpg

10:28am Pro-democracy fighters have erected concrete barricades on the roads leading to the courthouse building where the rebel National Libyan Council has its base.

Khalid al-Sayeh, a rebel military spokesman, told Reuters:

They have entered Benghazi from the west. Where are the Western powers? They said they could strike within hours.

10:49am Blake Hounshell, Managing Editor of Foreign Policy magazine, sent us this footage from today's attack on Benghazi:

10:55am Al Jazeera's James Bays reporting live from Benghazi:

We are still hearing gunfire in the distance - I heard an explosion just moments ago from that direction...

We have seen anti-aircraft guns going along the road in that direction, we have also seen ambulances and medical staff making their way in that direction in the last half hour or so...

11:11am Mustafa Abdul Jalil, the head of the Libyan Interim Council, tells Al Jazeera that residential areas in Benghazi are under attack by artillery and tanks. He also said that the plane shot down belongs to the rebels.

There's a lot of confusing reports from Benghazi today.

Best as I can figure out the opposition forces may have tried to push Gaddafi forces away from the city and Gaddafi forces retaliated by shelling Benghazi and entering the western part of it, also there may have been some pro Gaddafi forces already inside Bengazi that attacked a university there and took over it. Unclear whether the former interior minister is involved and switched back to Gaddafi's side or not.

There seems to have been some shelling in Misrata, but no sign that Gaddafi's troops are planning on entering the city again. There are reports of pro Gaddafi snipers killing two people though.

http://blogs.aljazeera.net/live/africa/libya-live-blog-march-19

1:08pm Libyan forces loyal to Gaddafi fired artillery shells into the rebel-held city of Misurata and water supplies were still cut off, a resident said.

"They (Gaddafi's forces) bombed the town with four or five artillery shells in the early hours today. The situation is relatively calm now. But they are still on the outskirts of the town, and water to Misrata is still cut off," the resident, called Mohammed, told Reuters by telephone from the city.

Libyan government officials deny attacking rebels and say they are observing a ceasefire.

Reports from Misrata could not be verified independently because authorities in Tripoli have prevented journalists from reaching the city.

1:36pm Snipers loyal to Gaddafi have killed two people in Misurata, a resident told Reuters.

"We have two people dead this morning ... because there are snipers on some houses and they are shooting people, they are shooting whoever they see," the resident, called Saadoun, told Reuters by telephone.

1:23am The head of the Libyan National Council, Mustafa Abdul Jalil, just denied Libyan state TV reports that defected interior Minister Abdel Fatah Younis has defected the rebels and joined Gaddafi forces again.

It seems that there is a media war going on between Gaddafi and rebels.

http://blogs.aljazeera.net/live/africa/libya-live-blog-march-19

2:52pm An opposition spokesman in Benghazi has told Reuters that anti-government troops have "pushed Gaddafi's forces out of Benghazi".

Nasr al-Kikili, a lawyer who works for the opposition's media centre in the city, said:

We revolutionaries have taken control of four tanks inside Benghazi. Rebel forces have pushed Gaddafi's forces out of Benghazi and are combing the western gate area for Gaddafi's troops."

James Bays of Al Jazeera English is saying on television that there is still mortar or artillery fire going on from outside the city into parts of the city. No mention of anymore attacks from inside the city though.

He says that Gaddafi's forces are getting very close to the city though and his armor will be very hard to hit now that they've moved so close to population centers of Benghazi. He says it would have made more sense to use air strikes on them earlier and the people in Benghazi are growing more and more frustrated with the international community.

4:34pm Mohammed Nabbous, a pro-democracy opposition activist who Al Jazeera has been in touch with through phone interviews and who has also provided us with footage from Benghazi, has been shot and killed today.

Nabbous shared video from Libya through his website, http://www.livestream.com/libya17feb.

4:43pm Al Jazeera just received the following email from a member of Libya AlHurra Television, which has been hosting a livestream that Mohammad Nabbous was providing from Benghazi.

I am sorry to inform you that Mohammed Nabbous, the founder of Libya AlHurra TV, was killed this morning while reporting on the attacks from the pro-Gaddafi forces. He touched the hearts of many with his bravery and indomnitable spirit. He will be dearly missed and leaves behind his young wife and unborn child.

[...]

Mo's objective in founding Libya AlHurra was to help his countrymen by getting the word out about what is happening in Libya. Please honor this courageous man and help him realize his dream by using his footage in your broadcasts.

5:18pm Al Arabiya television reports, citing a witness, that pro-Gaddafi forces have bombarded Az Zintan in western Libya, and tanks are heading to the city.

The station also reports that Italian planes have begun surveillance missions over Libya.

There's a new large plume of smoke going up from the edge of Benghazi.

Al Jazeera anchors are unsure what it's from.

Libyan State TV is showing apparently a live crowd of Gaddafi supporters celebrating outside the bombed Gaddafi compound from the 80's.

Seems like desperation on Gaddafi's part now. With foreign intervention coming, he has to know that this might be it.

What are the chances that he's still in Libya or anywhere nearby or has he already been working from outside the country?

Most people seem to think he's in his underground bunker of Bab Azziza. Not certain myself.

I think we would know if he tried to leave the country. Could be wrong though, it is a big open place country.

All we have to do is send a couple airstrikes to his compound and kill him - war over.

About damn time the international community took steps. I wouldn't be surprised if this gave other revolutionary movements in different countries more incentive to rebel.

I'm still wary of what happens after Gaddafi is taken out. What are the chances that different factions then fight within themselves for power? Right now it seems like it's all the rebels against Gaddafi, but once the unifying factor no longer exists, then what?

Hopefully people will unite together afterward and we won't see groups or officials trying to dominate others.

Definitely something people need to be wary of, as things move along though.

On another topic, I wonder if there is any way to disperse the crowds around sensitive places in Tripoli or Sirt before air striking important targets. (probably not too possible though I guess.)

A caller on CNN is saying that Misrata is under heavy shelling from a distance right this moment. Says there don't seem to be targets, just random firing at various buildings and people. No one knows where to go because there doesn't seem to be any safe place.

There is also some reported door to door searching, looting, and killing in people's homes along the outskirts of the city.

(hard to pull away from the tv and computer now....)

In Tripoli tons of people are out in truckloads waving green flags and cheering for Gaddafi.....

I think what we're likely to see in the end is a de facto partitioning of Libya, similar to Iraq in the 90s- with the rebels enjoying complete autonomy in the East while Gadafi is relegated to ruling a rump state in the west.

I'll get blasted for saying this, but in some ways that might be an even more ideal scenario then Gadafi knocked out - It would force all the various breakaway factions to remain united and practice some form of power-sharing within an autonomous region. This would allow politics to develop naturally instead of a potentially violent free-for-all struggle in a vacuum, not too mention a prosperous western-backed Libyan Arab republic side by side with a struggling Libyan dictatorship would provide an eye-opening contrast for the Arab world.

I think that would be interesting, but at the same time, if Gaddafi holds to the actual demands being made by the UN and the international community, he won't have very many towns or cities left in his control. Maybe Tripoli, Sirt, and Sabha to the south and some other small towns somewhere where he has loyalists in control.
