As Libya's opposition fighters push west, doctors are uncovering more victims
from the front line.
Several doctors say they have found Viagra tablets and condoms in the pockets
of dead pro-Gaddafi fighters, alleging that they were using rape as a weapon of
war.
They say they have been treating female rape survivors who were allied with
pro-democracy forces.
Furthermore, 175 people, including doctors, have been reported missing from
Ajdabiya, and many have now been found to have been killed.
Al Jazeera's Sue Turton reports from Ajdabiya.
