None

Libyan rebels battling Moammar Gadhafi's troops along the country's Mediterranean coast claimed they have captured a key oil terminal that has repeatedly changed hands in the 6-month-old civil war.

 

Rebel spokesman Mohammed al-Rijali said he was with the fighters in Brega when they gained control on Thursday of the strategic port city, 125 miles southwest of the de-facto rebel capital of Benghazi, after three weeks of intense fighting. (AP)
