AJDABIYAH, Libya, April 7 (Reuters) - Libyan rebels said a NATO air strike hit their position near the oil town of Brega on Thursday, wounding several.

Wounded fighter Younes Jumaa said from his stretcher at a hospital in Ajdabiyah: "It was a NATO air strike on us. We were near our vehicles near Brega."

He said at least five rebels were wounded.

Reuters reporter Michael Georgy saw bloodstained stretchers being brought out of the hospital where other rebels also said they were hit by the air attack.
