The latest from the front lines in Libya: experienced military commanders who defected from the Gaddafi regime are trying to stop rebels from advancing towards Brega. Gaddafi's main force in the region has advanced beyond Brega, according to reporters, and the military commanders with the rebels want to make sure that Ajdabiya is well defended. The rebels are still complaining that, since the U.S. has withdrawn its aerial bombardment campaign, NATO has failed to protect civilians from Gaddafi's heavy weapons, artillery, and missiles.
AJE:
After several days of skirmishes, the frontlines keep moving back and forth between Brega and Ajdabiya, with neither side able to make any significant move.
