Fighters move on Sirte
Description
Driving forward into Sirte. Anti-Gaddafi fighters continued their push into the fallen leader's stronghold on Saturday
Black smoke billowed over the town after a NATO strike a mile from the city center. Fighters began moving tanks into the square.
Exchanges of rocket fire took place throughout the day
Previously, National Transitional Council forces retreated from Sirte and the other Gaddafi stronghold, Bani Walid, after poorly organised assaults met fierce resistance from loyalists.
Gunners fired artillery towards the town and both sides exchanged volleys of rockets. Earlier attempts to take Sirte and Bani Walid were met with fierce resistance and usually ended with NTC fighters retreating. Taking over Sirte would give the NTC a boost as they seek to establish their credibility
