I haven't checked the blogs regarding Libya in a few days until tonight.
I came across this entry from yesterday:
Reuters - Libyan fighters are handing out free petrol to help hundreds of civilians flee a desert town held by Muammar Gaddafi's forces ahead of and onslaught aimed at capturing one of the ousted ruler's last bastions.
Complaining of hardship and intimidation, residents of Bani Walid headed to nearby towns or started the 180 km
journey north towards Tripoli on Tuesday in cars packed with children and possessions.
