Over 120 rebels hurt in battle for east Libya town

More than 120 Libyan rebels were wounded on Sunday as they fought to dislodge troops loyal to Muammar Gaddafi from the eastern oil port of Brega, a rebel spokesman said on Sunday.

"I don't have details at the moment but the news coming from there indicates there is a street war going on between Gaddafi's troops and the rebels and that so far 127 are wounded from our side," Abdulrahman Busm, a spokesman for Libya's rebel National Transitional Council (NTC), said by telephone.
