Forces loyal to Libya's government took control of the former Gaddafi stronghold of Bani Walid yesterday, commanders said, but pockets of resistance on the outskirts were reported.
Thousands have fled bloodshed this month between rival militias in the isolated hilltop town that was one of the last to surrender to rebels who overthrew Muammar Gaddafi last year.
The violence in Bani Walid has highlighted continued disorder in the oil-producing North African Arab country.
