Pronunciation advice - Sirte, Bani Walid

I am quite surprised the entire media is getting the name of some Libyan towns also wrong. The two towns which are in news these days are Sirte and Bani Walid. The correct pronunciation of Sirte is sirth (the 'i' has the same sound as in 'bin') or सिर्त. The correct pronunciation of Bani Walid is bunny well-Eid  or बनी वलीद. 

If you can read Arabic, the two names are written as سرت and  بني وليد
