There was violence throughout the country on Sunday with Gaddafi apparently bombing rebels in the west, while Allied air raid destroyed a convoy east of Qaddafi, according to the rebels.

Multinational forces have launched an offensive on Saturday, convinced that Qaddafi is not authorized by the stick of UN cease-fire.

American and British ships and submarines have fired over 110 Tomahawk cruise missiles and hit some 20 targets in the Libyan defense in the western parts of the country, said Vice-Admiral William Gortney U.S. at a conference at the Pentagon.

A senior U.S. military official, who was not authorized to speak officially, said the cruise missile fell near the town of Misrata and the capital, Tripoli.

Dozens of missiles were fired at night before dawn, and the exact results of the mission were not evident. The United States expects to conduct a damage assessment of the sites.

The salvo in an operation called “Odyssey Dawn” means “the Libyan regime for refusing to use force against its own people,” said Gortney.

The British Defence Minister Liam Fox said the Royal Air Force Tornado GR4 uses fast jets, which flew 3,000 miles to Britain and back – what the project’s long-range bombing mission carried out in force since the Falklands conflict in 1982.

Ministry of Foreign Affairs of China said Sunday he disagreed with the use of force in international relations. And the president of Venezuela, Hugo Chávez, denounced the military intervention.

“They (the U.S.) want to exploit the oil in Libya, regardless of anyone’s life in this region,” Chavez said.

Gaddafi has promised to open armories and said the UN Charter provides the nation the right to defend itself in a “war zone.” He also sent messages to the international powers and said Libyans prepared to die for him.

Some residents said they could get arms to fight.

“We received a call around 3:00 that everyone should head for the streets,” he said in Tripoli. “Civilians may be normal to have machine guns and antiaircraft machine guns … I go back to the airplane.”

In Misrata, a witness said Gadhafi forces have been directed at service stations and power to citizens, the damage is done by the coalition forces. The witness, who was not identified for security reasons, said the air strikes on positions held loyal allies in the city.

CNN could not confirm the account.
