Bani Walid (Libya), Oct 18: Libyan fighters today celebrated the fall of this stubborn former regime stronghold by firing weapons in the air and hanging revolutionary flags on buildings, while in another part of the country, their comrades launched a major assault on Muammar Gaddafi’s hometown of Sirte.
In the capital Tripoli, US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton announced increased support for Libya’s new leaders, pledging millions of dollars in aid including medical care for wounded fighters and additional assistance to secure weaponry that many fear could fall into the hands of terrorists.
The push from the east of Sirte to rout remaining resistance came a day after commanders announced they had captured most of a second stronghold, Bani Walid, 140 kilometers southeast of Tripoli.
