Libyan Rebels Said To Advance In West -- L.A. Times

Rebel fighters in the Nafusa Mountains say they've driven out Kadafi's forces from Qawalish. Kadafi's regime announces treason charges against rebel leaders.

Even as Libyan rebels reported driving government forces from another mountain town in western Libya on Wednesday, Moammar Kadafi's regime in Tripoli said it would put 21 rebel leaders on trial for treason.

The announcement of capital charges against the rebel leadership was largely symbolic. The insurgents control most of eastern Libya, far from government reach, and are making incremental advances in the Nafusa Mountains west of Tripoli, the capital.
