The National Transitional Council (NTC) fighters said on Friday that there remained a small number of Gaddafi loyalists and snipers in Sirte. The interim government has dispatched some fighters to do the mop-up and clear up the dead bodies of both sides scattered around the city and some leftover bombs and mines.Apart from the NTC fighters, Sirte is rather empty. There is still no sign that the local residents would return.The roads are covered with shells of bullets and bombs and damaged buildings with holes made by gun shots could be seen everywhere. But the NTC fighters doing the mop-up are full of hope for the future.
