Libyan rebels have rounded up at least 63 people in an ongoing bid to tighten security in the eastern city of Benghazi and rout armed groups loyal to Muammar Gaddafi, a spokesman told AFP.
"This morning we caught about 38 and later today more than 25," Mustafa al-Sagazly said on Monday.
The arrests come hot on the heels of a five-hour raid on a roadside factory, which rebels said was the base of operations of an armed group taking orders from Gaddafi's regime and suspected in the assassination of their army chief.
