Libyan forces seize most of Bani Walid

None

Libyan revolutionary forces have captured almost all of Bani Walid, one of Moammar Gaddafi's last remaining strongholds, but still face pockets of resistance as they try to end a weeks-long standoff, officials said Monday.

 

Fierce resistance in Bani Walid and Gaddafi's hometown of Sirte has prevented Libya's new leaders from declaring full victory and setting a timeline for elections. It has been more than two months since the former rebels gained control of the rest of the oil-rich North African nation. (AP)
