Misrata resident says snipers fire on hospital, Posted by Meosha Eaton

BEIRUT, March 23 (Reuters) - Snipers are firing at the clinic in Libya's rebel-held Misrata where people wounded in fighting over the city are being treated, and three people have been killed, a resident told Reuters by telephone.

The report could not be verified independently and Libyan officials made no immediate comment.

"It started half an hour ago. The snipers are ... shooting at the hospital and its two entrances are under heavy attack. No one can get in or out," said the resident, called Saadoun. "We have lost all communication with people inside. The last thing we knew is that three are killed and three are critically wounded."
