Libyan National Transitional Council (NTC) fighters are seen in the village of Qasr Abu Hadi, the birthplace of Moamer Kadhafi, where fighting has been raging for the past three days with diehards of the former Libyan strongman, near Sirte on October 3, 2011. The capturing of the village will be a major symbolic victory for the fighters of the country’s new rulers as they battle to eradicate the last vestiges of Kadhafi’s 42-year rule.
