Libya: Fighting resumes in key cities

Fighting has resumed in Libya with rebel forces continuing to battle for control of the eastern oil town of Brega.Rebels have captured the university on the outskirts of the city, AFP says.Overnight, shelling resumed in Misrata, Libya's third biggest city and the last big rebel stronghold in the west, which has been besieged for weeks.At least 13 people were killed when a coalition plane fired on a rebel convoy between Brega and Ajdabiya on Friday.The rebels' leadership has acknowledged that firing in the air through lack of discipline could have provoked the Nato air strike on their own forces on Friday. The opposition leadership says it is trying to bring a new professionalism to its military campaign. Road blocks have been set up close to the frontline and only soldiers with at least some training are allowed through.
