Libya uprising: Fierce fighting on the streets of Sirte
Heavy fighting has continued in the Libyan city of Sirte, with loyalist fighters holding out in just two small areas, anti-Gaddafi commanders say.
Forces with Libya's interim authority say 80% of the city, Col Gaddafi's home town, is now under their control.
Meanwhile, hundreds of civilians are still trying to flee the city.
