Tomahawk, WI 8/24/2011 (PennyPayDay) – With reported pockets of fighting remaining in Tripoli on Wednesday, the whereabouts of Libyan leader Moammar Gadhafi were still not known.Rebels seized Gadhafi’s vast compound on Tuesday. Celebratory gunfire was virtually nonstop as rebels streamed in and out of the compound, many leaving with weapons and ammunition seized from the complex.
A senior NATO official warned that the war "is not over yet, although it's close."
Here are the latest developments:
CNN's Matthew Chance and his production team, who have been trapped in the Rixos Hotel in Tripoli, have left the hotel to freedom, Chance reports.
The hotel was under the control of Gadhafi loyalists.
It has been “an emotional rollercoaster of the past five days,” Chance said.
“We’ve got all the journalists into these four cars plus a civilian car and we are now driving through the deserted streets of Tripoli to our freedom essentially," Chance said. The Red Cross helped the 36 journalists get through checkpoints, he said.
“We’ve been living in fear for the past five days because we’ve been being held against our will by these crazy gunmen,” he said.
“Its been an absolute nightmare,” he said. “The fact that we got out of the hotel, people are crying.”
The situation ended when Gadhafi loyalists on guard in the hotel were told about the changing situation in Tripoli. A guard then came up to the journalists and said, “Look, we’re not going to stop you from leaving anymore,” Chance reported. The journalists then were able to arrange their transportation from the hotel.
