Libyan Rebels Report Airstrikes on Eastern Town | Africa | English

Libyan rebels say government forces launched new airstrikes Monday, as four shells fell on the opposition-held eastern town of Ajdabiyah.

Rebels had moved toward the town Sunday, after fleeing the oil port of Brega amid heavy shelling from advancing government forces.

Libyan state television said Monday the government would offer amnesty to any soldier who had defected to join the rebels, but returns and surrenders to the military.
