http://video.news.sky.com/skynews/video/ After weeks of heavy gun battles, Libyan rebel forces have seized control of the strategically important town of Zawiyah, as they continue to push towards Tripoli. It's just 30 miles from the capital and is on a key supply route and home to a major oil refinery. The rebels have also taken control of Brega in the east, which is also the site of a key oil terminal. Our special correspondent Alex Crawford was in Zawiyah's Martyr Square to witness the fighting as the rebels regained control.
