Gaddafi forces 'enter Libya town'
Ajdabiya: Forces loyal to Libyan leader Muammar Gaddafi entered the rebel-held eastern town of Brega on Wednesday, sparking fierce clashes, witnesses and opposition sources said.
A resident of Brega, 200 kilometres (125 miles) west of the main eastern city of Benghazi, said by telephone that Gaddafi's forces had stormed the town with tanks and heavy artillery and that violent fighting was taking place at the port.
A doctor in Ajdabiya, 40 kilometres from Brega, told the media the attack began under cover of darkness.
"During the night Gaddafi's forces attacked the airport at Brega where they clashed with the rebels," said the doctor, Aymane al-Moghrabi.
