In the remote mountains of western Libya, the rebels have moved beyond the 'rag-tag' militia label often used to characterize the opposition in the east.

Antigovernment rebels fighting Libyan leader Muammar Qaddafi look north at enemy positions over the escarpment as they consolidate military gains at the western end of the Nafusa mountain range near Nalut, Libya, on April 27.
