Fighting for Libyan Town of Brega
AFP reports that Libyan rebels were digging in their battle with Muammar al-Gaddafi's forces for the oil town of Brega on Friday as leaders said they were ready for a ceasefire under the right conditions.
The rebels were beaten back by heavy shelling from Gaddafi's forces on Thursday when they launched a counter-offensive in an attempt to resume their march on Tripoli, started soon after the uprising against the hardliner's rule was launched on February 15.
