Muammar Muhammad al-Gaddafi says government forces leaving Tripoli is a tactical move, the war is not over.  He also says NATO sent no fewer than 64 air strikes against the Bab al Aziziya military compound, in the recent fighting.

Reports coming from Tunis.  Tunisia has closed its border crossings, because rebel forces, near the border, are under heavy attack by Libyan government forces, including artillery attack.

Some BBC reporters are saying the water supply for Tripoli is contaminated, possibly poisoned.  Two people were taken to hospital after drinking tap water.  Some rebel checkpoints are warning people not to drink the water.
