Mar10 - Rebel rockets in Bin Jawad

Fierce fighting rages around Bin Jawad

Rebel fighters launch a volley of rockets towards Gaddafi's forces in a fierce battle to control key oil terminal towns in east Libya.

Continued fighting took place along the ever-moving front line between rebel fighters and forces loyal to Libyan leader Muammar Gaddafi.
Pro-Gaddafi forces hit storage tanks in the oil terminal of Es Sider in east Libya during a heavy bombardment of rebels in the area around Bin Jawad and Ras Lanuf.
Gaddafi forces seem to be trying to build on the momentum they have had in recent days against rebels trying to take the capital, Tripoli.
