In Libya, unrest showed no signs of easing. Pro Gaddafi troops reclaimed rebel-held Zawiyah and pounded other opposition positions. Al-Jazeera reported that tanks rolled into Zawiyah, 50 kms from Tripoli, after days of pitched battle between the loyalists and rebels, which according to residents have reduced large parts of the town to rubbles with unclaimed bodies strewn all over. A medical coordinator told reporters at least 400 people have killed and 2,000 been wounded in eastern Libya since the uprising broke out against Moammar Gaddafi. A top Libyan envoy to the United Nations made a new call for world powers to impose a no-fly zone against Gaddafi’s regime. But Muammar Gaddafi warned that any move to clamp a 'no-fly' zone would be strongly resisted by his forces.
