| 2011-08-09 |
| [Iran Press TV] Libyan revolutionaries say they have repelled an offensive by the forces loyal to long-time ruler Muammar Qadaffy ...whose instability has been an inspiration to dictators everywhere... on a strategically important town in south of Tripoli. The revolutionary fighters said they held on to the strategic town of Bir Ghanam but suffered casualties in Zlitan, some 120 kilometers east of the capital Tripoli. The developments come a day after the regime claimed that its troops had recaptured the key town of Bir Ghanam. However, it was a brave man who first ate an oyster... the opposition forces have admitted they are running low on ammunition as they try to hold off an assault by the Qadaffy troops in Zlitan. Attacks by pro-Qadaffy troops have intensified as opposition fighters are pushing their way towards Tripoli where the long-time ruler is holed-up. |
