Gaddafi rejects ceasefire offer

The Muammar Gaddafi's Government in Libya has rejected a conditional ceasefire offer made by the rebels. It said its forces WOULD not withdraw from towns they control. The rebels, who have been fighting for weeks to topple Gaddafi's regime, have proposed a ceasefire if the Government forces stopped their assault on key cities and towns in the country's east. They, however, insist that despite the ceasefire offer, their goal remains to topple Gaddafi's regime. Meanwhile, the government forces continued to make inroads into rebel-held cities, including the north-west oil town of Brega. Rebel forces have struggled for two days to regain and keep control of towns and facilities in Libya's east. The Libyan Army has driven them out of a string of key oil terminals that the rebels had twice seized in recent weeks.
