Fierce frontline fighting in Libya
Description
ROUGH CUT (NO REPORTER NARRATION)
STORY: Forces loyal to Libya's new rulers surged into the desert town of Bani Walid Friday in a fierce attack on one of the last strongholds still in the hands of Muammar Gaddafi loyalists that could prove a major turning point in the war.
Anti-Gaddafi forces are also closing in on Sirte, the hometown of Gaddafi.
After nearly seven months of fighting, anti-Gaddafi forces backed by NATO air power control most of Libya, including oil-producing centres and the capital, which they seized last month. But they have met fierce resistance in a handful of pro-Gaddafi bastions such as the desert town of Bani Walid, the southern outpost of Sabha and Sirte, Gaddafi's birthplace 450 km (280 miles) east of Tripoli.
