None
Libyan rebels will free five captured Libyan soldiers loyal to Muammar Gaddafi, a senior rebel spokesman said, in a goodwill gesture aimed at boosting the rebels' credibility internationally.
Libya's opposition forces hold as many as 32 Libyans and 72 foreign mercenaries captured during fighting in the uprising that began in mid-February, Abdel Hafiz Ghoga, spokesman for the rebel National Council, said. The five prisoners will be handed over to the International Committee of the Red Cross who will take them to Tripoli, Ghoga said. (Reuters)
