DEHIBA, Tunisia, April 28 (Reuters) - Forces loyal to Libya's Muammar Gaddafi remain in control of a post on the Tunisian border after clashes with rebels who were earlier driven out, a Reuters witness said.

Residents had said the rebels had taken back the Dehiba-Wazin crossing in fighting at night in the mountainous region.

"The Libyans are the ones who are at the border post right now," said Reuters cameraman Abdelaziz Boumzar in Dehiba.
