Resident: Libya's Misrata still under rebel control

The Libyan city of Misrata, 200 km (125 miles) east of the capital, is still in rebel hands, a resident said on Sunday, rejecting a state television report that government forces had re-captured it.

"The town is fully in the control of the revolutionaries. It has been in their hands for about two weeks. It is calm now. There is no fighting, thank God," the resident, who did not want to be named, told Reuters by telephone. (Reuters)
