Libya rebels claim victory in key oil terminal

None

A Libyan rebel spokesman says rebel fighters have captured the key oil terminal of Brega from Muammar Gaddafi's troops after three weeks of fighting. Mohammed al-Rijali said "Brega is liberated."

 

He said he was with the fighters when they took control of the strategic port earlier on Thursday. He spoke to The Associated Press over the telephone from nearby Ajdabiya. The rebel claim could not be immediately verified. (AP)
