1511 GMT: Reuters is reporting that the opposition fighters in Libya have pushed their advance near Zawiya, another step towards Tripoli:
They pushed north to a settlement called Bir Shuaib, taking them within 25 km (15 miles) of their target of Zawiyah, a town less than 50 km from Tripoli, the stronghold of Libyan leader Muammar Gaddafi. “We’ve gone past Nasr village and right now we’re about 25 km from Zawiyah,” said Faris, a rebel fighter. Rebels prevented reporters from getting up to the new front line to see for themselves. 1502 GMT: The Gaddafi government in Libya has banned the use of unlicensed Thuraya satellite phones, often used by journalists and their sources, and has said that anyone using such a device will be considered a NATO spy: "Any citizen who owns a device of the Thuraya brand must carry a permit allowing its use according to the laws and regulations in force," JANA (state news agency) said. \"Spies among the traitors and the agents of ... NATO use the Thuraya telephones to give crusaders the coordinates of some locations to be bombed, which has caused the deaths of a large number of civilians," it said.
