Gaddafi loyalists advance to east

Forces loyal to the Libyan leader Muammar Gaddafi are moving into rebel territory in the east, taking the small town of Brega.

The BBC's John Simpson in the nearby city of Ajdabiya says the 100-vehicle convoy is expected to advance towards it, and have bombed an arms dump there.

The city's defenders are in a high state of excitement and expecting an attack, our correspondent says.

In two weeks of unrest Col Gaddafi has lost control of large parts of Libya.

Our correspondent says Brega was defended by a handful of lightly-armed rebels, but Ajdabiya is much more important target.

It has a large arms dump which has been bombed several times by pro-Gaddafi forces.

The loyalists are now only a couple of miles from Ajdabiya, the defenders say.

The rebels are determined to put up a fight but it remains to be seen whether this translates into an organised defence of the city, our correspondent says.Rest of your post၏
