Gadhafi Retakes Oil Hub of Brega

In the latest domino to fall for Libya's ragtag rebels, state television is reporting that Moammar Gadhafi's forces have retaken the oil town of Brega in eastern Libya. State television has issued faulty reports in the past, notes the AP, but Gadhafi's forces were reportedly 25 miles outside the town yesterday and have been slicing through rebel ranks with little difficulty. Brega has been "cleansed from armed gangs," today's report said. (More Libya stories.)
