(Libya Twitter)-Libyan rebels fought to take Misrata's airport on Thursday after pushing back Muammar al-Gaddafi's forces from the city's lifeline sea port as the oil-rich country's tribes urged the strongman to quit.
As a UN panel arrived in Libya to investigate violence and human rights abuses, rebels in Misrata said they were confident victory was "very close" for them in the strategic port city.
Our freedom fighters have managed to defeat the soldiers of Gaddafi" by forcing them out of Misrata, Khalid Azwawi, head of the local transition committee, told a news conference late Wednesday.
During a TV interview with the US broadcaster, Mr Cameron said: "What we have done so far is we've helped the rebels, in line with the UN resolution 1973, to protect civilian life by giving them better communications equipment.
Speaking at a press conference at the Pentagon on Wednesday after meeting US Defence Secretary Robert Gates, Mr Fox said Col Gaddafi was on the back foot.
