The Battle for Tripoli

As the new blog for today is not up yet, I thought that I would put up a brief stub updating our bloggers on the changing conditions in Libya.
From Al Jazeera English:
You can watch live coverage at the Al Jazeera English live stream.
BBC News is providing live coverage online of the Battle for Tripoli.
Two of Gaddafi's sons, Saif-al-Islam and Mohammed, are either under house arrest or captured. There are no confirmed reports about the location of Moammar Gaddafi.
Green Square in central Tripoli has been renamed to Martyr's Square, it's original name.
We will have to see what develops, but I think that Gaddafi's 42 year rule is almost at an end. I hope that the people of Libya will have a bright future ahead of them.

From Al Jazeera English:
Fighting rages near Gaddafi's compound
Gaddafi's location still unknown as rebel forces battle to control Tripoli.
Heavy fighting and gun battles have broken out in areas of Tripoli after rebels gained control overnight of much of the Libyan capital.
Clashes erupted on Monday after tanks left Bab Azaziya, Gaddafi's compound in Tripoli, to confront the rebel assault.
Many of the streets in the centre of the city were abandoned as pockets of pro-Gaddafi resistance and the presence of snipers and artillery fire have made the area dangerous.
There has been no word on the location of Gaddafi himself. Gaddafi has delivered a series of angry and defiant audio messages in recent days, vowing not to surrender.
