National Transitional Council forces bombard Sirte after weeks of trying to capture one of the last remaining pockets of loyalist control.<br/> NTC commanders say they're using light weapons, but government tanks and pickup trucks line the road mounted with rockets.<br/> After capturing several key buildings, they say they have Muammar Gaddafi loyalists cornered in the city's center.<br/> Some residents are joining the resistance in his hometown of 75,000 people.<br/> But most have fled the city, with some still trying to escape.<br/> This displaced Moroccan woman said her husband had a seizure during the fighting and her family began praying and shaking when they heard tanks.<br/> Unlike the battle for the capital, which rebels took in August with NATO support, the weeks-long fight for Sirte is being drawn out by lack of coordination or support from within the city.<br/> Lindsey Parietti, Reuters
