Libyan Rebels Push West Towards Gadafy Hometown
Irish Times

.

A steady stream of rebels in pick-up trucks mounted with machineguns drove towards Libyan leader Muammar Gadafy's hometown of Sirte today, seeking to extend their advance west.

.

Emboldened by Western-led air strikes against Col Gadafys forces, rebels in the oil-producing North African country have pushed west along the Mediterranean coast to retake a series of towns in short order.

.

Reversing earlier losses in a back-and-forth five-week insurgency, they have regained control of all the main oil terminals in eastern Libya, at Es Sider, Ras Lanuf, Brega, Zueitina and Tobruk.

.

Al Jazeera reported that the advancing rebels had taken control of the town of Nawfaliyah, about 120km from Sirte.

.

A spokesman in Benghazi said rebels based in east Libya captured Sirte today, but a Reuters correspondent in the city said there was no sign that rebel forces were in control.

.

"We heard from Benghazi that the rebels are in Sirte, but it is not for sure because Gadafy's soldiers are firing rockets from Sirte, so we are not certain," 23-year-old Mohamed, a lawyer turned rebel fighter, said in the town of Ras Lanuf. Rebels were lining up for petrol in the town before heading west in dozens of pick-ups.

.

As Col Gadafys birthplace and an important military base, Sirte - about halfway along the coast from the rebel stronghold of Benghazi to Tripoli - has great symbolic and strategic value. If it fell, the rebels would gain a great psychological boost and the road towards the capital would lie open.
