(CNN) -- Libyan leader Moammar Gadhafi's forces shelled the rebel-held city of Misrata Wednesday, killing civilians and creating havoc, an opposition leader told CNN.
"He is bombing his way into the city and he doesn't care if all the people in Misrata are dead by the end of the day," Mohamed Ali said by phone from the city, accusing Gadhafi of launching a "cowardly, murderous attack.
"People are not safe. It's amazing that this is happening," said Ali, adding that two people have been killed and 15 injured, one "very critically".
He said Gadhafi's forces had not been able to get into the city, which is between the capital Tripoli and the rebel stronghold of Benghazi in the east. CNN
