Libyan rebels say they are largely in control of the key eastern town of Brega, after close fighting in residential areas.
Rebels say forces loyal to Libyan leader Col Muammar Gaddafi are retreating west towards Ras Lanuf.
The Libyan government denies the claims, insisting it is still in full control of Brega and has killed more than 500 rebels there.
I get confused as this or that side claims to hold this or that town or city.
