Libya's provisional authority fighters are facing continued resistance in Moammar Gadhafi's remaining strongholds, a day after National Transitional Council leaders delayed announcing a new government.Pro-Gadhafi forces used heavy gunfire to repel NTC fighters Monday near the northern gate of the heavily fortified town of Bani Walid.
The Gadhafi loyalists have beaten back repeated assaults as NTC fighters try to regroup outside the town for a new attack. Libya's volunteer provisional authority fighters fled in chaos Sunday from the desert town of Bani Walid when pro-Gadhafi troops attacked their positions with mortars and sniper fire.
