US official: Gaddafi forces fire Scud missile
None
Forces loyal to Muammar Gaddafi fired a Scud missile for the first time in the country's civil war, a US defense official said, after rebel advances left the Libyan leader isolated in his capital.
The Scud missile was fired on Sunday morning from a location about 50 miles (80 km) east of Sirte, Gaddafi's home town, and landed east of the coastal oil town of Brega where rebels are fighting for control, the US official said. (Reuters)
