Libya Rebels Launch Offensive In West -- The Telegraph
Hundreds of rebels in western Libya launched a broad offensive against government forces on Thursday, seizing three small towns and advancing on others to secure a major supply route near the Tunisian border, rebel spokesmen said.
Four rebel fighters were killed and several wounded in what the spokesmen described as the biggest push in the area since the start of Libya's civil war five months ago. They said rebels captured 18 government soldiers, as well as weapons and ammunition.
Libya's civil war has been largely deadlocked, despite shifting front lines, and rebels have been unable to score a major breakthrough on the battle field. Rebels control Libya's eastern third and most of the Nafusa mountains in the west, as well as the western port city of Misurata. Libyan leader Moammar Gaddafi, entrenched in the capital of Tripoli, is clinging to the rest of the territory.
