ANALYSIS SUMMARY: This analysis is based on a rapid assessment of satellite imagery recorded 17 and 19 September 2011 over the area of Sirte in Libya. Additional images acquired since 31 October 2010 were also reviewed. Analysis determined multiple areas of likely combat taking place as forces aligned with the National Transitional Council sought to displace forces loyal to the Colonel Muammar al-Qadhafi. Despite active combat in the area Sirte remains largely intact.
