Fighting continued for a fourth day in the Libyan town of Bani Walid, which the army said has become a haven for holdout loyalists of former dictator Muammar Qaddafi.

Army units backed by militias from towns such as Misrata and Zlitan have been blockading the town since September 25, when Libya’s parliament, the National Congress, issued a decree authorizing security forces to enter the town and arrest individuals accused of a series of kidnappings.
