Libyan rebels and gov't trade salvos at Brega
None
Libyan government forces on Tuesday unleashed a withering bombardment of rebel forces trying to take back a key oil town, pushing them back even as the regime said Muammar Gaddafi might consider some reforms but wouldn't be stepping down.
The rebels managed to take part of oil town of Brega the day before, aided by an international air campaign that has pounded Gaddafi's heavy weapons, but the rocket and tank bombardment unleashed on the rebels indicates the government's offensive capabilities remain intact. (AP)
