BENGHAZI, Libya — Moammar Gadhafi's forces swept rebels from one of their final strongholds with hours of searing waves of strikes from warships, tanks and warplanes on Sunday but the insurgents claimed that they moved back in after nightfall.

One rebel said that after their initial defeat, opposition forces destroyed armored vehicles and captured dozens of fighters from Gadhafi's elite Khamis Brigade in the oil town of Brega, driving others back into the town's airport.

Another opposition fighter told The Associated Press by telephone that celebrations had broken out in the nearby city of Ajdabiya, and celebratory gunfire, honking and shouting could be heard in the background.

"We are on our way to Brega to celebrate with our brothers there," he said.

Earlier Sunday, the rebels spoke of their fears in the face of the advance of Gadhafi's forces, which have reversed much of the early gains made by opposition forces.

The Libyan people need help. We're in danger. The east is in danger," Abdel Hadi Omar, a civilian rebel volunteer, speaking in the nearby town of Ajdabiya, said.

"The Libyan people can't cope with Gadhafi's weapons. We have people but we don't have means," he told Reuters.

The opposition has seen a series of reversals in its battle for control of Libya's main coastal highway, which runs from Gadhafi's western stronghold in the capital, Tripoli, to rebel-held territory in the east. Gadhafi's forces seem emboldened by their string of victories but their supply lines are increasingly stretched and they depend on artillery, airstrikes and naval attacks that are more difficult to launch at night.

..The rebels have been pleading for Western powers to protect them with a no-fly zone, and on Monday their leaders meet in Paris with U.S. Secretary of State Hilary Rodham Clinton, who plans to assess their capabilities and intentions.

The Arab League asked the U.N. Security Council on Saturday to impose a no-fly zone. But the U.S. and many allies have expressed deep reservations about a tactic that would require them to destroy Gadhafi's air defenses and possibly shoot down his planes, and they appeared no closer Sunday to imposing a no-fly zone.

The poorly equipped and loosely organized fighters said throughout the day that they were fleeing Brega under heavy attack, losing a vital source of fuel for their vehicles and leaving Gadhafi's military less than 150 miles from the main opposition city of Benghazi.

A spokesman for Gadhafi's military declared that it had seized control of the town and was "dealing with the situation."

Ajdabiya is the only other major population center between Gadhafi's forces and the rebel headquarters. If his successes continue, the Libyan strongman will soon face the choice of consolidating his control of the Mediterranean coast or moving swiftly toward Benghazi and the prospect of a devastating battle.

"Benghazi doesn't deserve a full-scale military action," army spokesman Milad Hussein told reporters in the capital, Tripoli. "They are a group of rats and vermin and as soon as we go in, they will raise their hands and surrender."

Gadhafi's navy, army and air force began pounding Brega with artillery, rockets and bombs Sunday morning and didn't let up all day, forcing doctors and wounded people from the town's hospital with a missile strike, several rebels told The Associated Press after fleeing.

"There wasn't any time to breathe, to do anything," one fighter with responsibility for logistics said by telephone as he fled Brega for Ajdabiya, about 50 miles (80 kilometers) by road to the east. Explosions went off in the background.

Speaking on condition of anonymity for fear of retaliation, he said the opposition was bracing for conflict in Ajdabiya by evacuating doctors and the wounded from there, too.

He said some rebels had gathered in a seaside village a few miles east of Brega, hoping to halt Gadhafi's forces. He said more fighters from rebel strongholds in the east were heading to Ajdabiya to prepare for a battle there.

"I think they are bombing heavily because they want to win time before a no-fly zone is imposed," he shouted over the phone.

An opposition leader in Ajdabiya said the rebels planned to retake Brega and were attacking Gadhafi's forces with guns and roadside bombs as they moved in reinforcements from government-held cities in the west.



The rebels are fighting to oust Gadhafi from power after more than 41 years, inspired by protesters who toppled authoritarian rulers in neighboring Tunisia and Egypt. A week ago they held the entire eastern half of the country and were charging toward the capital, Tripoli. Then Gadhafi's troops began reversing those early gains with superior weaponrym and firepower from the air.

With much of the fighting in the east taking place along a coastal highway bounded by strips of desert, there are few places for the rebels to take cover, forcing them to withdraw under fire before attempting to surge back.

Also Sunday, Gadhafi's forces appeared to edge closer to Misrata, battling rebel fighters on the outskirts of Libya's third-largest city, 125 miles (200 kilometers) southeast of Tripoli, residents reported.

One resident, who did not want his name used because he fears for his safety, said streets inside the city were empty as people took cover in their homes and the noise of tanks, anti-aircraft fire and machine guns grew ever-nearer.

He said several tank shells had struck inside the city, hitting a mosque and an apartment building.

卡扎菲的军队前两天已经夺回了ras lanouf,昨晚又有消息传出说又夺回了另一座石油重镇brega,并逼近了第三大城市misrata。外电说卡扎菲的军队现在要面临选择,是立即向反对派大本营bengazi进军,还是原地修整一段时间巩固目前的战果。不过阿盟现在明确要求美国和欧盟在利比亚设立禁飞区,但美欧对采取行动还比较谨慎。

兵贵神速,反政府武装基本不行了,夺得班加西再休整

叛军说取得局部反攻胜利而已, 说的. 另一方面, 卡疯子正在其他几处展开进攻.


阿拉伯联盟不是要求外界搞禁飞区的吗?北约不为所动?

有人主动要求,北约都不干?这次怎么就那么谨慎哪?

既然是阿盟的要求,中国应该也不会在联合国投反对票吧。

美国和北约现在顾虑会陷入另一场与阿拉伯国家的苦战,所以对设立禁飞区主要还是在说,实际行动还不多~~~当然也不排除外松内紧的可能性,也许暗地在做一些准备,到时出奇不意~~~纯属臆测~~~

天啊,利比亚那些武装那么烂,北约随便去个国家都把他们给灭了啊。

不过当然要先跟阿盟说好了,要禁飞区,就要出兵,就要来个干净利落的。
其实中国此时不表态就行了。该有的利益到时自然会有。法国空出的地盘。。。嘿嘿

是不是阿盟的支持反而加剧了西方对伊斯兰扩张的担心?
阿盟对利比亚局势的想法并非铁板一块,阿盟中有6个国家明确反对武力干涉。

没那么复杂,打仗毕竟又得花钱,即使利比亚的军力再弱,总是有风险的。另外只是设立禁飞区能不能扭转利比亚战局?许多人还是有疑问,而派地面部队对西方国家来说是不可想像的(因为可能遭遇伤亡问题,不要小看这个问题在西方的影响),而即使是利比亚反对派自己也反对外国直接派地面部队

我也有这样的感觉. 现在成功那几个国家都是宗教主义势力上台的.......现在阿盟跳出来, 只能是帮倒忙.
现在没空管他们。。。。。
