Libya's provisional authority fighters are facing continued resistance in
Moammar Gadhafi's remaining strongholds, a day after National Transitional
Council leaders delayed announcing a new government.Pro-Gadhafi forces used
heavy gunfire to repel NTC fighters Monday near the northern gate of the heavily
fortified town of Bani Walid.
The Gadhafi loyalists have beaten back repeated assaults as NTC fighters
try to regroup outside the town for a new attack. Libya's volunteer provisional
authority fighters fled in chaos Sunday from the desert town of Bani Walid when
pro-Gadhafi troops attacked their positions with mortars and sniper fire.
