WADI DINAR, Libya (AP) -- Fierce resistance by Moammar Gadhafi loyalists entrenched in two strongholds has stalled the rebels' final push for complete control over Libya.

Three weeks after the fall of Tripoli appeared to herald the end of Libya's brutal civil war, the protracted battle over the loyalist bastions of Bani Walid and Sirte, Gadhafi's hometown, has dashed hopes of a speedy "declaration of liberation" that would start the clock ticking on a transition to democracy.

Libya's new rulers say that capturing the towns, along with the remote southern stronghold of Sabha, is just a matter of time. They insist they've been slowed by unsuccessful attempts to negotiate surrender deals with tribal leaders - with two envoys from the negotiation team killed Sunday
