Gaddafi forces retake border post

Tunisia's state news agency says Libyan leader Muammar Gaddafi's forces have seized a border crossing in fighting that killed refugees on Tunisian territory.

The report says Gaddafi's forces took back control of the Dehiba border post from rebels who had seized it a week ago.

The TAP agency says the fighting spilled into Tunisia, and Grad missiles were fired. It cited witnesses as saying refugees were killed and wounded, but gave no details.

It said the fighting pushed about 1000 Libyans from Wezen in western Libya to take refuge in the Tunisian desert.

Gaddafi's forces also shelled the besieged rebel frontline city of Misrata on Thursday, hitting residential areas on its outskirts and wounding four people, a doctor said.
