Backed by rockets and heavy artillery, hundreds of Libyan revolutionary fighters pushed into Moammar Gadhafi's hometown from the west Saturday in the first significant assault in about a week. Sirte, 250 miles (400 kilometers) southeast of Tripoli on the Mediterranean coast, is one of three Gadhafi strongholds that refused to surrender after revolutionary forces seized control of Tripoli late last month after a civil war against his 42-year rule.
