an assault by the elite Khamis Brigade on the rebel-held town of Misurata east of Tripoli had been delayed because of a mutiny among troops who refused to fire on fellow Libyans

Col Milad Hussein said the seizure of Brega from opposition forces on Sunday and the move towards Benghazi were not full-scale military operations.
"These are people who when we come to them raise their hands and give up," he said at a press conference in the capital, Tripoli.
He said the only place where real military action had been necessary was Zawiyah, the town to the west of Tripoli which resisted government attempts to retake it for over two weeks.
Col Hussein also denied reports that an assault by the elite Khamis Brigade on the rebel-held town of Misurata east of Tripoli had been delayed because of a mutiny among troops who refused to fire on fellow Libyans.
"This is just propaganda," he said. "Misurata is like any other place. There are gangs inside – we are dealing with the situation. Some of them are handing back their weapons, some are subject to discussions, and some will be dealt with according to their situation."
