Reuters - Libya's interim rulers said on Wednesday they had captured one of Muammar Gaddafi's last strongholds deep in the Sahara desert, finding chemical weapons, and largely taken control of another. NATO countries gave the NTC another boost by extending for three more months the air cover that helped anti-Gaddafi fighters to victory.
At Bani Walid, bored NTC militiamen fired weapons at camels and sheep while awaiting orders. One man shot his own head off and killed another fighter while handling a rocket-propelled grenade in full view of a Reuters team.
