NTC fighters battle loyalist troops in Sirte
Libyan National Transitional Council fighters say they have captured the last positions held by Muammar Gaddafi's loyalists in the deposed leader's hometown of Sirte.
"Sirte has been liberated. There are no
Gaddafi forces any more," Colonel Yunus Al Abdali, head of operations in the
eastern half of the city, said.
"We are now chasing his fighters who are trying to run away."
Another front line commander confirmed the capture of the Mediterranean coastal city, which was the last remaining
significant bastion of pro-Gaddafi fighters almost three months after the former leader was overthrown by rebels.
