Muammar Gaddafi's regime crumbling as fighting rocks Tripoli, NATO says
LIBYAN rebels have taken control of Green Square in Tripoli but senior Libyan rebel figure Mahmud Jibril said there were still pockets of resistance in the capital from forces loyal to strongman Muammar Gaddafi."I warn you, there are still pockets of resistance in and around Tripoli," Jibril said in a speech on rebel television Al-Ahrar early today. "You have to be aware that some pockets are coming from the east and you have to be cautious. The fight is not over yet. "God willing, in few hours our victory will be complete." He called on police and security forces not to leave their posts and to keep doing their jobs, staying alert to protect the people and their property. And as it looked as if Gaddafi's rule was now to be measured in hours and not days Jibril urged rebels to act with magnanimity toward the vanquished. "The world is watching us," he added. "Do not avenge yourselves." Posted by: tipper 2011-08-22 |
