07:54 GMT+3 - #Libya As Libyan fighters advance towards Muammar Gaddafi's hometown of Sirte, they are waiting for reinforcement from the capital. Al Jazeera's Zeina Khodr, reporting live from Tripoli, said:

There are no lack of men who actually lack weapons, but what you lack are trained fighters. We drove around the capital today to see what kind of security plan is being put in place. We went to a base where the fighters from Misrata have set up their position and they told me they cannot leave until they are sure that the capital is secure.

Until Tripoli is secure we are not going to see these fighters head back home and you are going to need them if you are going to open new battles like in Sirte or in Sabha, further south another stronghold of the Libyan leader."
