DTN News - BATTLE FOR TRIPOLI: Rebels Hunt Gaddafi, Hometown Targeted
(NSI News Source Info) TORONTO, Canada - August 27, 2011: Rebel fighters check an armoured door at a tunnel in the ransacked Bab al-Aziziya compound of ousted Libyan leader Muammar Gaddafi in Tripoli, August 26, 2011.
Libyan rebels said they were closing in on fugitive strongman Muammar Gaddafi and would merge their disparate fighters in the capital under one command to streamline operations.
There was no sign of a swift end to the war, which they have said will only end when Gaddafi is captured dead or alive, but the rebels claimed victory in Ras Jdir, raising their flag at the border post with Tunisia after clashes with loyalists.
A rebel detachment was also turning its attention to Sirte, Gaddafi's birthplace 450 km (300 miles) east of Tripoli, where British aircraft have fired cruise missiles at a headquarters bunker.
