Libyan rebels 'disappointed' by NATO
Rebel commander says coalition forces are not doing enough to protect civilians, as Gaddafi's forces take key oil town.</B>
Younis said that rebel forces were providing NATO with the coordinates_where pro-Gaddafi forces were present, but they were slow to act, allowing the forces to "enter a city, kill everybody, burn it down and then leave the city" before any action was taken.
He also complained that NATO was not allowing the opposition to use the MiG fighter aircraft and helicopters that it had repaired._
"NATO is moving very slowly, allowing Gaddafi forces to advance ... NATO has become our problem," he said.
Earlier in the day, Brigadier General Mark van Uhm, NATO's chief of allied operations, said_that NATO's new "number one priority" was the western town of Misurata, which Younis said was being inadequately protected.
"Misurata is a number one priority because of the situation on the ground over there. We have confirmation that in Misurata tanks are being dispersed, being hidden, [and] humans being used as shields in order to prevent NATO sorties to identify targets," he said.
Van Uhm said that Gaddafi's troops have been adjusting their tactics to deal with the threat from coalition airstrikes, travelling in trucks and light vehicles to the front line and hiding their tanks and armoured vehicles from sight.
