Rebel commanders say their forces have captured five towns and surrounded a sixth in the plains below the Nafusa mountain range which borders Tunisia.

Col. Jumma Ibrahim, spokesman for the Military Council for the western mountain region, said several major battles had taken place before the towns were secured.

He named the captured towns as al-Ruwais, Takout, al-Jawsh, Bader and al-Ghazzaya, and the surrounded town as Umm al-Far.
