There are reports that Libyan government forces, and pro-Gaddafi tribes, are leaving Gaddifi’s hometown of Sirte, to attack rebels in Tripoli.

At the same time, other reports say rebels are trying to stop government forces coming from Sirte.  NATO bombed Sirte “heavily”.  Rebel officials say they need another 72 hours to fully “liberate” Libya.

Pentagon spokesman Colonel Dave Lapan said Gaddafi’s forces remain dangerous.
