Libya: NTC and NATO forces driven back from Bani Walid
  • The BBC's Peter Biles: "What is clear is that the Gaddafi forces certainly still have the capacity to respond".

    Anti-Gaddafi forces have been forced to pull back from Bani Walid after meeting fierce resistance from those loyal to the ousted Libyan leader.

    Fighters came under heavy shelling and gunfire after entering the town, 90 miles (140 kilometres) south-east of the capital Tripoli.

    Further to the east, forces are continuing an assault on Sirte, another remaining Gaddafi stronghold (with same result).
