Pepe Escobar: Gaddafi gold to boost Libya resistance

Fierce fighting for Gaddafi's hometown of Sirte continues in Libya, where revolutionary forces claim they've seized the convention centre - the main base of the Colonel's loyalists. For over two days now, Libya's interim rulers have been waging one of the biggest assaults yet on the most-important remaining stronghold of the ousted leader. Revolutionary forces claim they control most of the town that's been under siege for three weeks now. Libya's interim leaders say failure to take Sirte is the only thing keeping them from formally declaring liberation and scheduling elections.
