Hundreds of rebel fighters were been pulled out by sea as Muammar Gaddafi's forces are on the verge of overrunning the key western city of Misrata. The country's strongman and his sons appeared to be looking for a way out of the conflict after routing all opposition attacks on the eastern front. Turkish aid ships bought hundreds of wounded including rebel fighters from Misrata to the rebel held port of Benghazi and the sailors were quoted by 'Al Jazeera' as saying that the rescue ships were attacked by Gaddafi's snipers. The pan Arab Channel quoted the sailors as saying that the city appears to be in a lockdown and surrounded on all sides by tanks and forces of Gaddafi and mortar fire and rockets are raining down on city centre. Meanwhile, Greek Foreign Minister Dimitris Droutsas said after a meeting in Athens between the Prime Minister and a high level Libyan envoy that Gaddafi's regime was looking for a solution. His comments came as 'New York Times' reported that atleast two sons of Gaddafi were proposing a transition to a constitutional democracy in Libya that would include their father's ouster from power. The developments came as US agreed to extend air strikes in Libya for another week as part of western coalition.
