[quote:Anonymous Coward 2162691:MV8yMDIzNDg2XzM0MDkxNDM1XzQ2QTUzMjk1] Bani Walid in lockdown as military attempts to prevent return of civilians... Thousands of refugees were prevented from returning to Bani Walid today by members of the Libya Shield brigade who insisted the town had not yet been fully secured. This morning, the Libya Herald was able to enter Bani Walid before being stopped at a closed checkpoint some one-and-a-half kilometres inside. Brigadesmen manning the post said that house-to-house searches were still being conducted and that the town was not safe to enter. The occasional thump of RPGs could be heard in the distance, interspersed by sporadic machinegun fire. [b]“Don’t trust them! Don’t let them through!” shouted one of the guards, as a small trickle of civilian vehicles arrived at the checkpoint and attempted to pass. [/b] . . . Several hundred people are reckoned to have been killed or wounded in the fighting, but with Bani Walid hospital still closed to the media and the phone network down, a precise figure remains impossible to obtain at present. http://www.libyaherald.com/2012/10/25/bani-walid-in-lockdown-as-military-attempts-to-prevent-return-of-civilians/ [/quote]
