In Libya, rebels fought intense battles to repel Moamer Gaddafi's forces from the key eastern oil port of Al- Brega At least 10 people were killed in the counter-offensive. Talking to AFP, opposition fighters said they had finally pushed Gaddafi's men out of the town on the Mediterranean coast after a day of chaotic clashes. Earlier Gaddafi's forces, backed by tanks and heavy weaponry, had attacked at dawn yesterday and quickly seized the airport, an oil terminal and a university in Al- Brega. Libyan Human Rights League says, at least 6,000 people have killed since the start of the revolt against Moamer Gaddafi's regime two weeks ago. Mr. Ali Zeidan, the League's spokesman, told a press conference in Paris yesterday that this included 3,000 in the capital Tripoli, 2,000 in the rebel-held second city Benghazi and 1,000 in other cities. He said, this is what people told the League, but it can be more. The press conference was organised by the International Federation for Human Rights. The Arab League in the meantime said it would consider backing a no-fly zone over Libya to end its crackdown on anti-regime rebels, but ruled out supporting any direct foreign military intervention. The league said this in a resolution after a meeting of foreign ministers in Cairo yesterday. Meanwhile, NATO allies and Arab League members at the United Nations are considering their next steps to halt attacks on Libyan civilians by forces of Col. Gaddafi. China's UN ambassador Li Badong who is the current Security Council President, said, the idea of a no-fly zone to protect civilians is among the options being floated around. Britain and the United States have said they are considering plans for establishing a no-fly zone over Libya to stop government forces from firing on their own people, in moves that could echo the military intervention seen in the Balkans and Iraq during the 1990s. The Arab League has said it would consider imposing a no-fly zone over Libya in coordination with the African Union if the turmoil continues.
