(NSI News Source Info) HONG KONG - September 29, 2011: Anti-Gaddafi fighters walk with their weapons to join other fighters during clashes with pro-Gaddafi forces, about 1 km (0.6 miles) from the entrance of Sirte, September 28, 2011.
Intense sniper and artillery fire from pro-Gaddafi fighters has so far prevented National Transitional Council (NTC) forces from taking Sirte despite more than two weeks of fighting and two full-on assaults.
