Libyan rebels fend off air assault - Libya Uprise

  - 10 civilians were killed in the fighting -


Some of the fiercest fighting since the uprising in Libya began last month has taken place in Brega, one of many towns controlled by the opposition in the east of the country. About 300 men loyal to Muammar Gaddafi attacked Brega early on Wednesday morning. Residents said 10 civilians were killed in the fighting. Later, an air force bomber circled the town, and Al Jazeera's Tony Birtley was about 70 metres from where a missile hit without causing any casualties.
