The Siege of Misrata Brings Comparisons To The Battle Of Stalingrad


Libya: Exclusive Pictures From Misurata By Telegraph Photographer Geoff Pugh -- The Telegraph

Misurata, 125 miles (200km) east of the capital Tripoli, is the last rebel bastion in western Libya. Gaddafi's forces appear bent on seizing the city and crucially its port, which some analysts say Gaddafi needs if he is to survive a long conflict. Telegraph photographer Geoff Pugh travelled from Benghazi to the embattled city on a fishing boat, and sent back these exclusive pictures.

The photo gallery is here.
