Libya Attacks News :
BENGHAZI, Libya — Forces loyal to Libyan leader Moammar Gaddafi entered the suburbs of the rebel-held city of Benghazi Saturday in defiance of a United Nations resolution, Al-Jazeera television reported.
However, the rebels were fighting back and a warplane flying overhead was shot down.
An Associated Press reporter saw the plane go down in flames outside the city after the area came under shelling. A black cloud went up over the city's southern outskirts.
Al-Jazeera said government forces had entered the city's western suburbs, as NATO met to discuss how to enforce a United Nations resolution authorizing military action to protect civilians.
French and British warplane are expected to take the lead in military action, which could happen within hours.
On Friday, U.S. President Barack Obama listed a string of demands including that Gadhafi stop his forces from advancing on Benghazi.
