LIBYAN government tanks and rockets have driven back rebels who attempted an assault on Moammar Gadhafi's hometown of Sirte. Fleeing opposition fighters pleaded for international airstrikes that never came.
Some rebels shouted: "Sarkozy, where are you?" - a reference to French President Nicolas Sarkozy, one of the strongest supporters of airstrikes.
Cars and trucks of retreating rebels filled both lanes of the highway from Bin Jawwad, a hamlet east of Sirte.
