Libya rebels escalate offensives
Libyan revolutionary forces escalated offensives Friday into two key strongholds of Muammar Gaddafi's rule, but met stiff resistance from snipers and loyalist gunmen in Gaddafi's hometown of Sirte and a mountain enclave of Bani Walid where a pro-regime radio station urged followers to fight to the end.      

In Sirte, the hub of a loyalist belt across Libya's central coast, revolutionary units pressed their attack on two fronts with convoys that include vehicles mounted with anti-aircraft guns. Loyalist responded with sniper attacks and rocket barrages.
