Gaddafi Stronghold Bani Walid Have Been Shelled for Three Weeks Hundreds of supporters of the people of Bani Walid demonstrated outside the General National Congress parliament in Tripoli on October 21. Protesters attempted to enter the building but were dispersed by police. The demonstration called for a halt to the siege of this town of 80,000 people, a bastion of support for the former Jamahiriya government led by the martyred Col. Muammar Gaddafi. For three weeks the rebel militias that are financed through the United States-backed regime in Tripoli, have blockaded the city denying food, medicine and other essential goods to enter the area. Eyewitness accounts and videos posted on YouTube show constant shelling and large amounts of smoke emanating from the targeted sites inside the city. Hospitals are reporting that people are being treated for chemical poisoning and the loss of limbs.
