This Will Be Interesting

The Libyan rebels claim to have breached loyalist defenses at Buraqyqah (Brega), before retreating to prepare to attack in force.

Taking and holding the oil town would be a major victory, especially given the long stalemate along the coastal eastern front.

Holding the town would also be a big boost to the loyalists and perhaps discourage NATO from believing it can ecentually prevail.
