OFFLINE | The BBC is reporting ongoing gunfire in Tripoli, however it is unclear form their descriptions if the main column of Rebel forces have entered the capital or if the fighting is from internal uprisings. |

OFFLINE | "The head of the rebel council, Mustafa Abdel Jalil, told Al-Jazeera he had "information" on the capture of Col Gaddafi's son, Saif al-Islam. "He is being kept in a secure place under close guard until he is handed over to the judiciary," he said."

OFFLINE | THe rebels are in the city center now, in Green Square. Gaddafi has allegedly "vanished" but seeing as no-one has seen him in ages and the only contact from him in the last few weeks has been audio tapes bropadcast over the radio, I'd say he pissed off to switzerland or somewhere like that weeks ago.
So, syria next then? |

Don't think he'd be welcome in Switzerland, perhaps Luxembourg? |

Switzerland will pretty much take anyone so long as (a) they keep quiet so that the swiss don't have to "officially" know about them (b) they have shitloads of money stashed away in some swiss bank accounts. |

Didn't he burn the Swiss a few years ago because they arrested one of his kids? |

OFFLINE | This is what I hate about leaving for a week to go visit my family. I miss out on all the good news. My dad's place has no television, no internet and a shitty cell phone signal. Not a place for new age folks.
Anyways, this whole thing looks crazy. Can't wait to see how it turns out. |
