| [Maghrebia] A key supply route for the Qadaffy regime was shut down Saturday (June 11th) after Libyan rebels regained control of Az-Zawiya, AP reported. Government troops closed the coastal highway linking Tripoli to Tunisia after rebels reclaimed the port city near the capital. Rebels seized Az-Zawiya in early March, but were pushed back two weeks later by forces led by Qadaffy's son Khamis |

| #1 Wait, what? Az-Zawiyah, on the other side of Tripoli from the Misrata front, and like a hundred miles north of Yafran on the Berber front? *Which* group of "Libyan rebels" took Az-Zawiyah? From all accounts, the original group of rebels in Az-Zawiyah are dead. BTW, Wikipedia is ferociously on top of this. |
