Witness: Joy as opposition beats back Gadhafi forces in Misrata

The fighting in Libya continues between Ghadhafi forces and the rebels at the city of Misrata. 42 people have died from the fighting that broke out here. The rebels that oppose Ghadhafi succeeded in taking over Misrata, which is east of Tripoli. Ghadhafi forces are using tanks and other military equipment to attack the opposition. The opposition is grabbing whatever they can get from machine guns to sticks, and are willing to die for this cause. Humanitarian aid is being requested in Misrata, and ambulances are trying to enter the area to take away the injured. The opposition forces to Ghadhafi are slowly moving closer and closer to Tripoli, and much more violence is expected to come.
