Libyan fighters attack Gaddafi town
Libyan fighters are streaming into Bani Walid, one of the remaining bastions of ousted leader Muammar Gaddafi, in a fierce new push.
The revolutionary forces, in dozens of pickup trucks mounted with heavy weapons, are making their way from the north into the town centre.
Explosions and gunfire can be heard and smoke was seen billowing in the distance as fierce clashes got under way between the fighters and Gaddafi loyalists in the town, 90 miles south-east of Tripoli.
One of the fighters, Hisham Nseir says the frontline is “very heated and chaotic” and that his troops are meeting heavy resistance from Gaddafi’s men.
