Pro-Government Source Says Brega “Cleared of “Armed Gangs

Libyan state television Sunday reported a regime army source claiming that the Libyan armed forces have cleared “armed gangs” from the key oil town of Brega in the east of the capital, Tripoli.

The official said: “Brega has been cleansed of armed gangs.

Forces loyal to the Libyan leader, Muammar Al Qathafi have been reported swiftly advancing on the poorly equipped and loosely organised rebels who had seized much of the eastern parts of the country. The rebels' is not an organised army, but a group of his is a group of teachers, engineers, street cleaners, and people who never had any association with weapons.

Observers say that these people are coming up against very strong and well-equipped forces. For this reason there are many casualties on the anti-government protesters' side. Reports say that if it is not sorted out soon then those casualty figures are going to go up and up and up. “It is not looking very positive, quite the reverse."

On Saturday, Al Qathafi's forces pushed the front line kilometres deeper into rebel territory to just 40 kilometres outside Brega, the site of a major oil terminal.
