Gaddafi's forces attack Libya's Brega

Some of the fiercest fighting since the uprising in Libya began last month has taken place in Brega, one of many town controlled by the opposition in the east of the country.

About 300 men loyal to Muammar Gaddafi attacked Brega early on Wednesday morning.

Later, an airforce bomber circled the town, and Al Jazeera's Tony Birtley was about 70 metres from where a missile hit.
