Rebels battled their way back into a major oil port just 50km west of Tripoli on Saturday, forcing Muammar Gaddafi’s troops to close the highway.
Muammar Gaddafi is ready for a truce to stop the fighting in his country, SA President Jacob Zuma said on Monday after meeting the Libyan leader.
A Libyan government spokesperson says four journalists detained have completed an administrative hearingand will be released on Tuesday or Wednesday.
Mourners vowed revenge and rattled off heavy gunfire in a Tripoli cemetery as they buried nine men they said were Muslim clerics and medics .
