利比亚临时政府的部队对沙漠城镇班尼瓦里发动猛攻，并在卡扎菲的故乡苏尔特展开激战。
星期五的战斗标志着临时政府扩大了对卡扎菲仅存几个据点的攻势。
目击者说，北约飞机在苏尔特上空飞行，与此同时，密集的炮火和重型火箭弹的爆炸使得这个地中海沿岸城市浓烟密布。
发自班尼瓦里的报导说，当地也有密集的炮火。
利比亚全国过渡委员会的武装人员正试图把装备良好的卡扎菲效忠者赶出去。
与此同时，正在对阿拉伯国家进行访问的土耳其总理埃尔多安星期五抵达利比亚首都的黎波里，以显示对利比亚不断壮大的新政府的支持。利比亚全国过渡委员会最高官员之一贾利勒到机场迎接了埃尔多安。
Forces for Libya's interim government are storming into the desert town Bani Walid, expanding their multi-pronged offensive against Moammar Gadhafi's remaining strongholds.
Witnesses at the scene say explosions and gunfire echoed throughout the area Friday, as fighters for the National Transitional Council met strong resistance from Gadhafi loyalists.
The charge into Bani Walid comes a day after several thousand fighters with the revolutionary forces advanced into the center of Gadhafi's hometown Sirte.
NTC military officials said they faced heavy resistance from elite loyalist troops and snipers, and media reports said the fighting was still going on Friday.
