Libya rebels pledge assault on Gadhafi stronghold
The rebels and NATO said that Gadhafi loyalists were negotiating the fate of Sirte, a heavily militarized city some 250 miles (400 kilometers) east of the capital, Tripoli.
Mustafa Abdel Jalil, the head of the rebels' National Transitional Council, said that negotiations with forces in Sirte would end Saturday after the Muslim holiday of Eid al-Fitr, when the rebels would "act decisively and militarily."
We can't wait more than that," he told reporters in the eastern city of Benghazi. "We seek and support any efforts to enter these places peacefully. At the end, it might be decided militarily. I hope it will not be the case."
Col. Roland Lavoie, a NATO spokesman, said it's possible Sirte might surrender without a fight.
Perhaps the UN can arrange to have a ship come in and offer any non Libyan troops passage back to their countries of origin. That could save Sirte from some of the fighting.
