A group of rebels besieging a cluster of apartment buildings near the compound of Muammar Gaddafi said they believed the man who led Libya for four decades was hiding in the buildings with some of his sons.

Rebels were exchanging fire with Gaddafi loyalists inside the buildings. They did not say why they believed Gaddafi and his sons were inside.

"They are together. They are in a small hole," said one of the fighters involved in the battle, Muhammad Gomaa. "Today we finish. Today we will end that."

So they have surrounded the guy that they held captive the day before right after they previously killed him?

(If they keep this up they’ll finally know where he is in a week or two.)

If ol' Muammar gets whacked, his sons had better make sure they have the Swiss Bank account numbers.

I wonder: Did the Mrs. ever get Arafat's Swiss Bank account numbers before he assumed room temperature?

Al Ciada's Rats are being pushed into the sea. It's Hussein's Bay of Pigs.

Canadian CBC reported coulple of minutes ago: Rebel fighters and a television cameraman take shelter as an intense gun battle erupted outside the Corinthia hotel, where many foreign journalists are staying, in Libya on Thursday. (Sergey Ponomarev/Associated Press)

Location of Corinthia hotel :

NATO can not secure beachead because Libyan army is controlling Tripoli and Tripoli harbor.

Journalists, presstitutes and spooks are hollered in Corinthia, waiting for NATO evacuation. And NATO can not evacuate them.

If NATO really controls Tripoli as they say they do, NATO could evac journalists and spooks in two Hooks. But they can't.

Presstitutes are tasting their own medicine. Perhaps they could amuse themselves by watching CGI from Qatar about the great victory of NATO's Al Ciada troops.
