Libya’s capital Tripoli fell to rebel forces this morning as Muammar Gaddafi’s heir Saif al-Islam was captured.
Opposition fighters surged into the symbolic Green Square in the heart of the capital.
In angry audio messages broadcast as rebels swarmed into his capital, Gaddafi, who said he was still in Tripoli, urged Libyans to rise up and "purge" the city of what he called "rats and traitors".
But rebel fighters advancing on three fronts appeared to meet very little resistance and thousands of residents poured onto the streets to celebrate what appeared to be the end of the Gaddafi regime.
