southern front of Abdul Rauf, the rebels were able to capture 10
Gadhafi forces and a few vehicles after an ambush was set for them, he
said.
Also Sunday, rebels in Misrata released a document they claim is a
battle plan confiscated last month from forces loyal to longtime Libyan
leader Moammar Gadhafi.
CNN obtained the 15-page document -- titled, in part: "Battle plan to
cleanse the city of Misrata from militant gangs" from rebels in the
city Sunday. The words "top secret" is written at the top of every
page. The name of Gadhafi's son, Khamis Moammar Gadhafi, appears on
page 10 as commander of the theater.
CNN could not independently verify the authenticity of the document.
The rebels said it was confiscated from a high-ranking official near
Misrata between May 18 and May 20.

document was very useful but only for a short period of time because as
soon as Gadhafi brigades found out that we confiscated them, they tried
to change their plans," said Abdallah al-Kabeir, a rebel spokesman.
The documents says Misrata is to be "attacked from six different
directions with 11,350 fighters, 4,000 of whom are organized troops,
(the rest volunteers). The six directions cover the east and the
south."
The "mission" is stated as: "To destroy mercenary elements and deceive
youth in Misrata using nine brigades. ..."
Al-Kabeir called portions of the document "exaggerated."
"I think the number of troops and equipment mentioned in the document
are definitely exaggerated because they wanted to lift their soldiers'
low morale.

our intelligence on the ground indicated that Gadhafi forces have a lot
less people than what this document says."
The Libyan government has not acknowledged the document.
Government spokesman Musa Ibrahim told reporters Sunday that reports
rebels were gaining control of some areas were incorrect, although he
said "pockets of violence" remain. About 130 miles (209 kilometers)
east of Tripoli, Misrata has been the scene of some of the bloodiest
fighting in Libya's civil war.

the conflict began in early February, the death toll is believed to be
more than 1,000 people in Misrata, including hundreds of civilians, Dr.
Khaled Abu Falgha, a spokesman at Misrata's Hekma hospital, said
earlier this month. In April, Oscar-nominated filmmaker Tim
Hetherington and photojournalist Chris Hondros were killed in Misrata.
The town has been under siege for months from Gadhafi's forces, who
have cut off all land acesss, leaving the sea as the only escape route.
On May 11, rebels said they seized the Misrata airport. Heavy shelling
has been reported in Misrata in recent days as Gadhafi's forces wage a
campaign to seize the town back.
Ibrahim said Sunday that bombardment from the sea and air were the only
things preventing Gadhafi forces from declaring victory in Misrata.
