Libyan rebels battle to try to close in on Gaddafi

Fighting between forces loyal to Libya's Muammar Gaddafi and rebels trying to close in on his territory killed at least eight rebels near the northwestern city of Nalut, an insurgent source said.

The gun battles in the village of Takut, just outside Nalut, on Saturday followed exchanges of heavy artillery fire near the city of Zlitan as the insurgents tried to take government-held territory east of the capital Tripoli. The rebels are seeking to seal off Tripoli from the east and west but their advances have been slow. (Reuters)
