EgyptDay1, Now What?: Sirt Captured ???:
Sirt Captured ???

[Not confirmed] Sirt Captured ??? (1pm EST) - 
Latest reports say Libyan revolutionary forces and protesters,
heading eastward from the west of the country, have
captured Muammar Gaddafi's hometown of
Sirt.


(Reuters does not confirm this noon EST) -
For Libyan rebels advancing westwards along the Mediterranean
coast, the city of Sirte, hometown of Libyan leader Muammar Gaddafi
and an important military base, could prove a formidable battleground.

Rebel fighters were pushing out from their stronghold in eastern Libya
and on Saturday had taken the town of Bin Jawad, leaving them
less than 100 km (60 miles) outside Sirte, with little except empty
beach and desert between the two.
