The prize now lying in front of them is Garyan, a heavily fortified town whose capture would bring the rebels within 50 miles of the capital city and hand the opposition control of the main southern road leading from the capital.
The planned assault to liberate the Nafusa's biggest town represents the most ambitious offensive since the rebels finally captured Libya's third city of Misurata at the end of May.Senior rebel commanders said they believed an attack could come "within days".But the challenge of taking Garyan, said to be defended by thousands of Khamis brigade soldiers, is likely to prove far sterner still.
