Battle scars rebel-held Misurata

From Grad rockets to heavy machine guns, troops loyal to Libyan leader Muammar Gaddafi unleashed a maassive assault on Misurata, the country's third-largest city and the most significant rebel holdout in the west.

Inside a ripped-apart vegetable market, Gaddafi's tanks sit destroyed, not by NATO warplanes, which had difficulty striking targets in the urban environment, but by dedicated rebels.

Al Jazeera's Tony Birtley, reporting from the city, explores the devastated remainders of Misurata.
