BENGHAZI, Libya, April 29 (Reuters) - Shelling by forces loyal to Libyan leader Muammar Gaddafi in the city of Misrata killed 12 people on Thursday, a local doctor said.

"Here in Misrata we have 12 killed, including two females," the doctor told Reuters on Friday. "Those killed were ... shelled by Grad (rockets) at their homes or shelled by mortars." (Reporting by Michael Georgy; Writing by Christian Lowe; Editing by Louise Ireland)
