| 2. Libyan rebels fear fresh attack on Ajdabiyah |
|
Libyan rebels fear fresh attack on Ajdabiyah(Reuters) - Libyan rebels scrambled to defend their eastern frontline outpost of Ajdabiyah on Sunday after fighting on the coastal highway towards the oil port of Brega occupied by Muammar Gaddafi's troops. One witness said he saw around a dozen rockets land near the western entrance to town, which rebels wanted to use as a staging post to retake the oil port of Brega. Many fled as loud explosions boomed across the town. " There are still some guys out there at the western gate but the situation isn't very good," said Wassim el-Agouri, a 25-year-old rebel volunteer waiting at Ajdabiyah's eastern gate. |
