CNN Senior International Correspondent Ben Wedeman and his team were today caught up in a firefight between Libyan rebels and pro-Gadhafi fighters.

The tense 5 hour firefight broke out after rebel forces initially lost, and later regained, control of a village.

Wedeman appeared on The Situation Room earlier tonight to recount the terrifying incident. Watch the live report, including footage of CNN's crew escaping the firefight, below.
