Wow. This is happening Really Fast.

AP -> T’Guardian:

AP reports that hundreds of euphoric Libyan rebels have pushed to the western outskirts of Tripoli without meeting any resistance.


Associated Press reporters with the rebels said they reached the Tripoli suburb of Janzour around nightfall Sunday. They were greeted by civilians lining the streets and waving rebel flags. Hours earlier, the same rebel force of hundreds drove out elite forces led by Gaddafi’s son Khamis in a brief gunbattle.

The elated fighters danced and cheered, hauling off truckloads of weapons and advanced full speed toward the capital in pickup trucks.
