Gomaa Ibrahim, a rebel military spokesman in the Nafusa mountains, says opposition fighters and government troops have been fighting since early Sunday in the outskirts of the town of Bair al-Ghanam. Rebels in Libya’s western mountains say they have advanced and are battling Moammar Gadhafi’s forces in a town located around 50 miles (80 kilometers) south of the capital.

Opposition fighters seized control of Zawiya in March, before government troops crushed rebel forces there to retake the city Guma el-Gamaty, a spokesman of the rebels’ National Transitional council, said Bair al-Ghanam is significant because it is only 19 miles (30 kilometers) south of the city of Zawiya, a key western gateway to Tripoli.
