Libya Rebels Claim Control of Key Refinery
Libyan rebels pushing to cut off Tripoli claimed on Thursday to have seized a key oil refinery which is a major source of fuel for the capital.
A rebel commander said late Wednesday that his fighters had managed to "gain control of the refinery" in the town of Zawiyah, some 40 kilometers west of Tripoli.
On Tuesday, rebel forces already said their fighters were in control of most of the port city.
