Four rebels killed in Benghazi clash: Spokesman

BENGHAZI: Four rebels were killed in clashes with a pro-Qadhafi group in the rebel capital of Benghazi overnight, rebel spokesman Mahmud Shamman told AFP on Sunday.

"It was a long battle and it took many hours because they were heavily armed," he said.

"In the end we arrested 31 of them. We lost four people," said the spokesman, who added the group were rounded up for their role in organising a prison break in Benghazi earlier in the week.
