Libya: Fierce fighting on the road to Sirte
Heavy fighting has resumed in Libya for the loyalist-held coastal town of Sirte.
Anti-Gaddafi fighters pushed forward at Sirte with machine guns and rockets but have met shellfire from loyalists.
The BBC's Alastair Leithead, with the anti-Gaddafi forces near Sirte, said the fighters had advanced about another 10km (6 miles) towards the city.
