Libya: Anti- Gaddafi forces said they have advanced southwest of Tripoli, pressuring Gaddafi troops on a second front.http://apne.ws/fJqfqQ
FF claim advance into the outskirts of the town of Bair al-Ghanam, some 50 miles from Tripoli.
This follows weeks of intense fighting in the Nafusa mountains in which opposition forces have slowly pushed Gadhafi troops back toward Tripoli. Libya's rebels control the eastern third of the country and pockets, including a number of Nafusa mountain towns, in the west. The bulk of the fighting in recent months has been focused on front lines to the east of Tripoli. But a push by rebels from the Nafusa mountains could force Gadhafi to commit more troops to the southern and western approaches to the capital. A rebel military spokesman in the Nafusa mountains, Gomaa Ibrahim, said opposition fighters and government troops have been fighting since early Sunday on the perifery of Bair al-Ghanam.
