Libyan rebels in Misrata will 'fight until they die'

Amateur film appears to shows rebel fighters in the Libyan town of Misrata, using heavy weapons to fire back against snipers in the port city.

However, the BBC cannot independently verify this video footage for authenticity.

But speaking on the phone to the BBC British journalist James Hider, who is in Misrata for the Times newspaper, said rebel fighters were determined not to give up the town without a fight.
