Libyan rebels on Saturday retook the eastern oil town of Brega after breaching its defenses in a late night reconnaissance raid, Al Arabiya TV reported. Rebel military spokesman Mohammed Zawi told AFP that a light mobile force had breached loyalist positions around Brega late on Friday, before pulling back for an offensive early on Saturday. A group of around 50 reconnaissance troops entered the town from the north, then pulled back four kilometers (2.5 miles) before midnight (2200 GMT), Mr. Zawi said.

The probing raid on the front line between the rebel-held east and the mainly government-held west came some 32 hours after the rebel command launched a three-pronged attack against Col. Muammar Qaddafi’s forces, who were thought to have numbered around 3,000.
