Rebels Enter Qaddafi Compound

Rebels have claimed to control one entrance to the Qaddafi compound. It's 6 square kilometers large, and apparently there are also tunnels underground. This may be Qaddafi's last stand.

Footage from Sky News showed gangs of rebels gathered about 50m from the compound dressed in civilian clothes, some armed with rifles, others unarmed. The sound of tank shelling could be heard nearby.

The rebels were in celebratory mood, saying that they were convinced that the Gaddafi regime was on the verge of collapse.

Later reports said some rebels had breached the gates of the compound on Tuesday afternoon.
