Libyan rebels take back oil town in westward push

None

Libyan rebels took back a key oil town and pushed westward Sunday toward the capital, seizing momentum from the international airstrikes that tipped the balance away from Moammar Gadhafi's military.

 

Brega, a main oil export terminal in eastern Libya, fell after a skirmish late Saturday and rebel forces moved swiftly west, seizing the tiny desert town of Al-Egila - a collection of houses and a gas station - on their way to the massive oil refining complex of Ras Lanouf. (AP)
