Fighting outside Gaddafi towns, loyalists captured
Heavy fighting erupted outside the two main strongholds of Muammar Gaddafi's supporters Friday as fighters loyal to the fugitive leader unleashed barrages of rockets on provisional government forces closing in on the towns.

Regular volleys of Grad rockets were fired on National Transitional Council positions north of Bani Walid and east of Gaddafi's hometown, Sirte, on Friday, Reuter’s witnesses said. Ambulances streamed back and forth from the front line outside Bani Walid, carrying the injured. NTC fighters grabbed dozens of crates of rocket-propelled grenades and mortars and raced to the front.

In Teassain, 90 km east of Sirte, Reuter’s witnesses saw heavy rocket exchanges between NTC forces and the pro-Gaddafi forces still controlling the town. NTC forces were seen moving artillery in the direction of the Gaddafi stronghold. Sources also told France Press that pro-Gaddafi fighters launched a counter attack in Wadi-Al-Ahmar 60km East of Sirte against NTC forces. Sources added that the fighters launched hand-held rockets and mortars on Wadi-Al-Ahmar’s main street.
