62. CNN's Ben Wedeman is reporting from a captured airbase in the South, toward Sabha

Al-Jazeera has broadcast pictures from the outskirts of Bani Walid. It says NTC troops have made it into the town but fighting is continuing.

As the offensives on Bani Walid and Sirte continue, CNN's Ben Wedeman has been travelling with forces loyal to Libya's new rulers travelling towards the third remaining Gaddafi stronghold, Sabha, in the south. The video includes footage of Al-Amin Shtawy, who returned to Libya a few weeks ago from studying banking and finance in the UK to join the resistance, and is pictured shooting at a poster of Gaddafi and then stamping his feet on it.

In Wedeman's live report on CNN, he said the rebel fighters plan to remain for a couple days at the airbase they captured at Jalud before pushing South to Sabha.
