Libya: Extraordinary argument captured during fresh Sirte assault
As National Transitional Council forces launch a fresh assault on the Col Gaddafi's hometown of Sirte, cameras pick up a war of words between a pro-Gaddafi soldier and a NTC fighter.
Anti-Gaddafi fighters have renewed the battle to capture Sirte with one soldier attempting to use psychological warfare to undermine forces loyal to Muammar Gaddafi.
Away from the battlefield's mix of rocket fire, he took to the airwaves on an intercepted radio frequency to urge pro-Gaddafi fighters in the city to surrender.
As the war of words began, a fighter loyal to Gaddafi said: "We are fighting for the sake of Muammar", to which the NTC fighter replied: "We are fighting for the sake of Libya, that's it, Libya is free and Gaddafi must leave. That's it, it's game over, today is your end."
"Just ignore him, he's a dog, let him bark away," said another pro-Gaddafi soldier. "Surrender or face the sword," the NTC fighter replied.
The two sides have frequently managed to penetrate each other's radio frequencies, but often use it as a means to simply trade insults rather than for intelligence gathering.
