Rebels seize Ras Jdir post on Tunisia border

TUNIS: Libyan rebels on Friday took control of the Ras Jdir post on the border with Tunisia, and raised the flag of the rebellion, a Tunisian goverment source told AFP.

"More than 100 Libyan rebels arrived Friday at Ras Jdir," the source said.

"There were not any real clashes, the (regime) loyalists took off and the rebels' flag was raised at the border post."

A representative of the Libyan rebels' National Transitional Council, Adel Debachi, said on Tunisian television from Ras Jdir that they took control of the border post just before breaking the Ramadan fast around 1800 GMT.

He also said four pro-Kadhafi fighters surrendered.
