(NSI News Source Info) TORONTO, Canada - August 29, 2011: Tanks that are said to have been captured in a warehouse belonging to troops loyal to Moammar Gadhafi are seen in the rebel-held town of Tarhuna, southeast of Tripoli, Libya, Sunday, Aug. 28, 2011.
Mohammed al-Rajali, a spokesman, said rebel forces captured Bin Jawwad, about 350 miles (560 kilometers) east of Tripoli, late Saturday and deployed forces in the city after days of fighting.
He said Gadhafi's forces fled westward, and are likely to join regime forces in Sirte, the headquarters of Gadhafi's tribe and his last major bastion of support. Sirte has been heavily targeted by NATO airsrikes.
