Sirte (also spelled Sirt, Surt, Sert or Syrte, pronounced how to say: /ˈsɜrt/; Arabic: سرت; from Ancient Greek: Σύρτις) is a city in Libya. It is on the south coast of the Gulf of Sidra.
The city was the final major stronghold of Gaddafi loyalists in the Libyan civil war.
Muammar al-Gaddafi, former leader of Libya, was born there. Gaddafi was killed there by rebel forces on 20 October 2011.
