NATO rejects French, British criticism:
"A top NATO general has rejected criticism by France and Britain that the alliance needs to step up the fighting against Libyan leader Moammar Gadhafi's forces.
'We execute this operation in a very high tempo,' NATO Brigadier General Mark van Uhm said Tuesday at a NATO news conference in Brussels.
NATO aircraft during the past days destroyed tanks, bunkers and communication lines used by the Gadhafi regime throughout the country, with particular attention to forces located near the contested cities Ajdabiya, Brega and Misrata, van Uhm said."
