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.
