There were concerns about the reports of aerial bombardments," Greg Barrow, a spokesman for the Rome-based UN food aid agency said. 1807 GMT: Poland has suspended diplomatic activity in Tripoli, and says it will evacuate its embassy staff from the Libyan capital, the foreign ministry said in Warsaw, 1806 GMT: Rebels fighting the Kadhafi regime say it appears that the Libyan stongman is shoring up his forces with more hired foreign troops in and around the rebel-held Libyan town of Brega."Today it seems like Kadhafi is reinforcing his forces with mercenaries. Witnesses have seen troops (and Chadian mercenaries) moving towards Raslanuf," said Abdelfattah al-Moghrabi, director of supplies for Brega hospital."We are waiting to see if they attack or make a reinforcing line before Sirte," he said.Several sources said meanwhile that forces loyal to Kadhafi captured at least five people in Brega during their counter-offensive. 1800 GMT: Kadhafi son Seif al-Islam, defending the bombing of Brega harbour, said the port was of critical importance to the Libyan economy.Brega, he said, is the "oil and gas hub of Libya. All of us, we eat, we live because of Brega. Without Brega six million people have no future, because we export all of our oil from there".Those taking over the city were clearly a "militia, they were filming themselves, they came with three tanks and heavy machine guns".He added: "Nobody would allow the militia to control Brega, it's like you're allowing somebody to control Rotterdam harbour in Holland." 1755 GMT: Rebels in the opposition-held city of Benghazi mourned their dead, holding funerals for six of the militia fighting the Kadhafi regime, as well as several others in the town of Ajdabiya, 150 kilometres (94 miles) to the west."Kadhafi get out, Libyans don't want you" and "Kadhafi you're crazy" they shouted.In Benghazi a spokesman at the courthouse, the rebels' nerve centre, who did not want to be named, said, "We have taken a lot of prisoners, as many as 100."An official at a hospital in Benghazi told AFP that rebels captured included three Libyans and two unidentified "Africans," adding that they had been taken to Benghazi for questioning. 1741 GMT: Moamer Kadhafi's son Seif al-Islam tells Britain's Sky News television that bombs dropped on the eastern port of Brega were intended simply to "frighten" rebels there, not to kill anyone."First of all. the bombs (are) just to frighten them to go away, not to attack the harbour. Not to kill our people," he said, adding "Brega is not a city. Brega is an oil harbour." 1736 GMT: Canada's foreign minister is proposing a law to freeze the assets of corrupt regimes, closing a loophole that allowed the family of Tunisia's ex-president to hide money in the country's banks.The law, dubbed The Freezing Assets of Corrupt Regimes Act, would give Ottawa "new and more robust tools in our fight against corruption and the misappropriation of state funds by repressive foreign leaders," Foreign Minister Lawrence Cannon says. 1729 GMT: A US Senator says Libya's envoy to Washington has declared that opposition forces will reject Venezuela's proposal for a mediated end to deadly violence thereDemocratic Senator Robert Menendez said Ali Aujali -- repudiated by Tripoli since he turned on embattled leader Moamer Kadhafi, but still seen by Washington as Libya's ambassador -- vowed "no negotiations and no concessions."Menendez said after talks with the diplomat that he mentioned "efforts to seek a negotiated solution" to Aujali without specifically citing Chavez's notion, "and his response was 'no negotiations and no concessions.'" 17h21 GMT: The European Investment Bank, the European Union's financial arm, says it will extending more than 600 million euros in additional loans to Tunisia. 1718 GMT: Syrian families fleeing rebel-held Libya for home spoke in Benghazi, Libya of their happiness at escaping the violence, desperately frightened that their adopted nation could spiral into war."No one was buying any merchandise and we fear the situation could get worse and turn into a bigger war," said Abdullah Abras, who imports shoes from Syria to sell in the oil-rich North African state. He said he left behind 8,000 dinars ($6,517 or 3,500 euros) worth of stock, so keen was he to escape nights of incessant gunfire."I won't come back if the situation stays the same. I'm very happy to be going back as I've been through some terrifying days and nights here," he said. 1712 GMT: AFP is continuing its live report of the uprising sweeping Libya, North Africa and the Middle East. Here is a recap of some of the most important recent developments. LIBYA: Moamer Kadhafi's regime launches fresh strikes against the rebel-held Libyan town of Brega as it tries to recapture the key oil port. -- The International Criminal Court says Kadhafi, his sons and key aides will be probed over allegations they have perpetrated crimes against humanity. -- A major international operation is under way to airlift thousands of refugees, most of whom are Egyptians, out of Tunisian border camps. -- Libya's oil output has fallen by half since the uprising began, the country's top oil official says. -- Venezuela makes a proposal being considered by Libya and the Arab League to find a peaceful solution to the crisis in the North African nation.
