Fighting in Sabha, But Negotiations in Sirte
2011-08-24
[Tripoli Post] Libyan opposition forces reported fierce fighting underway in the southern Libyan city of Sabha between revolutionary fighters and forces loyal to dictator Muammar Al Qadaffy
...Megalomaniac dictator of Libya, admired everywhere for his garish costumes, funny hats, harem of cutie bodyguards, and incoherent ravings. As far as is known, he is the only person who's ever declared jihad on Switzerland...

Colonel Ahmad Bani, speaking for the revolutionaries, added that the city of Sabha, located nearly 600 kilometres south of the Libyan capital, Tripoli, and Al Qadaffy's birthplace, will be the leader's last stronghold.

Opposition forces took control of Al Qadaffy's compound at Bab al Azziziyah in the heart of Tripoli, on Tuesday. They broke in through its western entrance. However,
there's more than one way to stuff a chicken...
they have not yet succeeded in locating the embattled ruler.

Ahmad Bani also asserted that if still in Libya, Al Qadaffy is being protected by foreign mercenaries he has brought from neighbouring countries.

On another front, he said that the revolutionaries are negotiating with tribal leaders in Al Qatafi's hometown Sirte, for a peaceful handover of control over the city.

The Libyan fighters swept into the heart of Libya's capital city early on Monday and seized control of much of Tripoli without facing much resistance from regime forces.

They hope that the same could happen in Sirte hoping that they too could understand that what is happening to the country is not just historic, but for the well being of its citizens.

Meanwhile,
...back at the palazzo, Count Guido had escaped from his bonds and overwhelmed this guard using the bludgeon the faithful Filomena had smuggled to him in the loaf of bread...
the sound of heavy gunfire could be heard on Wednesday coming from the area around the Rixos hotel in the Libyan capital, Tripoli.

A Rooters news hound who was close to the hotel, said he could hear small-arms fire and the sound of anti-aircraft guns, which are used by both sides in the conflict to attack targets on the ground. A group of foreign news hounds is inside the Rixos hotel. They have been prevented from leaving by gunnies loyal to the Muammar Al Qadaffy.
