LIBYA. Tripoli. September 22, 2011. Hundreds of displaced people from the western Libyan city of Tawerga sheltered at an abandoned naval academy in Tripoli. Qaddafi troops had used Tawerga as a staging ground for their brutal assault on Misurata last spring. As a result, several weeks ago, all of Tawerga's residents fled the town, fearing retribution by advancing rebels from Misurata.
