Libya forces facing ?fierce? IS resistance in Sirte

MISRATA, Libya: Libyan pro-government forces are facing “fierce resistance” from Islamic State group holdouts in Sirte and it could take several days to gain full control of the city, a spokesman said on Sunday.

Forces loyal to Libya´s Government of National Accord (GNA) launched a new attack on Saturday against IS in Sirte, the coastal city seized by the Jihadists last year.

Backed by weeks of US air strikes, pro-GNA fighters have recaptured nearly all of what had been the Jihadists´ main stronghold in **rth Africa.

IS fighters are **w cornered in a last district of the city but Reda Issa, a spokesman for loyalist forces, said it was proving difficult to dislodge them.

“IS is putting up fierce resistance in their last neighbourhoods," Issa told AFP. “They are trying to make the battle last longer although they k**w it will be over soon." At least 10 pro-GNA fighters were killed and 60 wounded in Saturday´s offensive, with most of the deaths caused by car bombs and suicide attacks, Issa said.
