The rebels claim they are moving ahead slowly but steadily.
Fighting broke out after the rebels pulled out thousands of landmines over the last few days and secure a path for movement toward the strategic oil town, he said. "Almost the entire area around Brega is full of landmines," Banni said. A rebel expedition group entered al-Brega and clashed with pro-Gadhafi forces killing at least 11 and injuring dozens among rebels ranks, said a rebel fighter who did not want to be named. Pro-Gadhafi troops dug a trench and filled it with oil only to set it alight as a line of defense near the eastern entrance of the city, Banni said. "So this may delay our plan to take over the city since they have linked the trench to an oil pipeline so they keep the fire going," he added.
