Reports say the interim government's troops have now largely taken Sirte, but are still meeting pockets of heavy resistance.Hundreds of vehicles are pouring into the outskirts as the city is pounded with heavy shelling.Though thousands of civilians have left the city, many more are thought to have remained.The assault comes after Colonel Gaddafi, in an audio message, urged Libyans to resist the interim leaders.“The battle is far from over,” says activist and journalist Sukant Chandan. It is now clear to the world that civilians are being targeted in Sirte, he says quoting the AFP reports on civilian casualties. “Nevertheless Sirte is still resisting.”
