    CAIRO (Reuters) - Libyan leader Muammar Gaddafi has sent in new forces towards the western town of Zawiyah after rebels repelled an attack by his soldiers on Saturday, al-Jazeera reported, citing rebels in Zawiyah.

    The rebels had captured 3 APCs, two tanks and one pick-up after an hour-and-a-half of fighting, a rebel force spokesman had told Reuters earlier.
