Libyan fighters take airport near pro-Gaddafi city
None
Facing little resistance, revolutionary fighters captured the airport and other parts of a southern desert city that is one of the last remaining strongholds of Moammar Gaddafi's forces, even as military offensives stalled to the north.
A force of three southern brigades pushed its way into Sabha, deep in the Sahara Desert, on Monday."Our flags are waving there over the airport and other parts of Sabha," Col. Ahmed Bani, the military spokesman for the transitional government, told reporters in Tripoli. (AP)
