The Libyan civil war briefly spilled into Tunisia yesterday as the west of the country saw heavy fighting on two fronts and NATO reported that Muammar Gaddafi's forces were laying anti-shipping mines in the sea off Misrata.
Pro-Gaddafi troops made incursions over the border into Tunisia in a battle to retake a key crossing from rebel hands, drawing condemnation from Tunis.
Libyan soldiers were captured by Tunisian forces after firing indiscriminately in clashes that lasted about 90 minutes, according to reports. Witnesses said three Tunisians were injured.
