Libya: Rebels say Brega retaken from Gaddafi troops


Rebel forces in Libya say they have retaken the eastern oil town of Brega, capturing a number of elite government troops and killing others.

The statement has not been independently confirmed.

It came hours after the rebels had themselves been driven from the town by air and ground attacks by forces loyal to Libyan leader Col Muammar Gaddafi.
