Fighters loyal to Libya's new leaders say they have "reached the final stages of the fight" to take control of former leader Moammar Gadhafi's hometown. About 10 people were killed and more than 100 were injured overnight. Troops loyal to the National Transitional Council also entered the pro-Gadhafi stronghold of Bani Walid for the first time on Sunday.
NTC also took control of the airport in the southwest of the Bani Walid. Five fighters were injured badly. In Gadhafi's hometown NTC fighters took over the Sirte University and all residential buildings around it. "You can say that we have reached the final stages of the fight," said Al Zubair Al Kadi, a field commander on the frontline in Sirte. The fall of Sirte cannot come soon enough for Libya's new leaders.
