LIBYA. Tawerga. September 19, 2011. Debris from a Libyan Army tank destroyed by NATO bombing is scattered in the town of Tawerga, a village that used to be a Qaddafi loyalist stronghold and the staging area for attacks on nearby Misrata during the siege of that city. Tawerga is now a virtual ghost town as residents fearing reprisal fled during the rebel advance from Misrata.
