Libyan rebels clash with Sudanese mercenaries

Libyan rebels clashed Wednesday with Sudanese mercenaries fighting for Muammar Gaddafi near the border with Sudan, as President Barack Obama predicted the Libyan leader would be forced to step down if NATO keeps up its military campaign with the US playing a key role.
A rebel commander in southeast Libya, Ahmed Alzway, said rebel fighters fought off a Sudanese mercenary force 18 miles (30 kilometers) west of the southeast oasis of Kufra. The rebel force pursued, dislodging the Sudanese fighters from a fortified position further out in the desert, Alzway said. (AP)
