SIRTE — Residents returning to Sirte are accusing Libyan interim government fighters of demolishing and looting homes, shops and public buildings in Moammar Gadhafi's home town to take revenge for its support of the fugitive leader.
"They envy and hate us because Moammar is from here. But we are just civilians. The revolutionaries are coming here for revenge and destruction," said a Sirte resident who did not want to be named. "We didn't resist in this neighborhood so why did they destroy our homes?"
Inspecting the damage to her house, she said that Sirte would never go back to how it used to be. "There is no security here anymore," she told Reuters.
