Libya's revolutionaries maintain advance

Libyan revolutionaries are continuing to make progress as they battle west from Misrata towards the key town of Zlitan, on the road to Tripoli.

(Ahlul Bayt News Agency) - After more than six weeks of stalemate, the revolutionaries have in recent days pushed back the forces of Muammar Gaddafi, despite rocket and mortar fire.

The capital remains some 200km away.

Libya has been the scene of intense fighting between the country's revolutionaries and government forces since mid-February. The deadly conflict has left thousands of people dead.
