Sirte. Fierce street fighting erupted on Tuesday between new regime fighters and Muammar Gaddafi's remaining diehards in Sirte, the toppled Libyan leader's last bastion, an AFP correspondent said.


The National Transitional Council fighters suffered at least 23 injuries within 15 minutes of the battle exploding mid-morning, with the streets reverberating with the sound of heavy gunfire, rockets and mortars.


The Mediterranean city of Sirte is the last stronghold of Gaddafi loyalists after the desert oasis of Bani Walid was overrun by NTC fighters on Monday.
