STILL-LOYAL SUPPORTERS of former Libyan dictator Muammar Gaddafi have fought back against the country’s new government – with some reports suggesting an entire city has been overrun.

At least four people are thought to have been killed in the fighting that broke out in the city of Bani Walid – one of the last areas to fall to rebel control in last year’s NATO-backed uprising.
