TRIPOLI, Libya, Sept. 10 (UPI) -- A deadline for Libyans loyal to deposed leader Moammar Gadhafi to surrender expired Saturday in the surrounded town of Bani Walid, opposition commanders said.
For almost two weeks, transitional forces fighters have been massing outside Bani Walid, where two of Gadhafi's sons are reportedly in hiding, CNN said. Repeated attempts at a peaceful resolution have failed between the rebels and Gadhafi loyalists.
