Final push for Sirte
Description
This luxury Mediterranean hotel is a prime spot - for a sniper.
Troops loyal to the National Transitional Council are confident they can take Muammar Gaddafi's hometown of Sirte in two days.
They've taken to the rooftops to cover an expected advance in what they hope will be the final push.
Fifty kilometres away NTC fighters are destroying another symbol of Gaddafi's rule.
(SOUNDBITE) (Arabic) NTC FORCES SAPPER, ALI AL-BADRY, SAYING:
"We are detonating one of the tyrant's landmarks. He was putting structures up in Libyan cities. Today, our brigade - mainly consisting of civilians, led by Abdel Wahd al-Saady - is going to destroy the structures of both al-Khamseen and Sirte gateways."
It's made of stern stuff but the NTC are determined to bring down the emblems of the dictatorship.
As aid agencies warn of a humanitarian catastrophe in Sirte the NTC keep chipping away at the biggest pocket of pro-Gaddafi resistance.
