Rebels poised to attack Gaddafi stronghold
Abdullah Kanshil, a rebel negotiator outside Bani Walid, told reporters that opposition fighters stationed outside the town are waiting for the green light to launch a final assault on the town.
He said talks with Moussa Ibrahim have failed because Ibrahim wants the rebels to disarm. The rebels have said the hardcore loyalists are a small minority inside Bani Walid, but are heavily armed and stoking fear to keep other residents from surrendering.
