Late night explosions rock Tripoli

Ten rebel fighters were killed in an advance on the strategic oil town of Brega in eastern Libya on Saturday, with rebel forces sweeping the outskirts for land mines so they could move in, officials said. The advance came after Libya's main opposition group was recognized by more than 30 nations, including the U.S., as Libya's legitimate government. Friday's decision potentially frees up billions of dollars in cash that the rebels urgently need.
