| [Al Jazeera] There were reports Sunday of a column of military vehicles including truck-mounted anti-aircraft guns seen The rebels' advance along the coast has triggered exuberant celebrations in towns along the route such as Ajdabiya with rebel fighters firing their weapons in celebration. In Ras Lanuf, a major oil exporting terminal, Qadaffy fighters appeared to have withdrawn with their heavy armour. "[There are] no signs of Qadaffy's forces here," Bays reported. "What they left behind is here, some of their weaponry is here, some of their armourments are here. But they have not left their tanks behind or any of their heavy armour, just some of the ammunition has been left behind, suggesting it was a pretty speedy retreat." |
