Video Libya: Sky News Traces The Final Footsteps Of Colonel Gaddafi And His Flee From Sirte | World News | Sky News
Sirte is utterly destroyed. In just a few weeks this pristine show town, the birthplace and beneficiary of Colonel Gaddafi’s largesse, has been reduced to rubble.
A tsunami of fighting has swept this seaside town away. Those returning to the battlefield are picking through the rubble looking for anything they can salvage.
I visited here a few months ago under the control of Col Gaddafi's minders. The people said they would fight to the end in support of the "Brother Leader".
As the rebels advanced they warned the citizens: "Give up or face annihilation."
Bullet cases litter the roads in battle-scarred Sirte
Spent ammunition litters the streets in battle-scarred Sirte
True to their word the citizens stood firm and the rebels did as they promised.

BBC News - Tunisia's Islamist Ennahda party wins historic poll
Tunisia's Islamist Ennahda party wins historic poll
Hamadi Jebali (R) has been put forward by Tunisia's Islamist party as the next prime minister
Tunisia's moderate Islamist Ennahda party has won the country's first democratic elections after the Arab Spring uprisings, officials say.
Official results show Ennahda won more than 41% of the vote, securing 90 seats in the 217-member parliament.
Ennahda has already said it wants to form a new government within a month.
Violent protests broke out in the central town of Sidi Bouzid after the election results were announced, witnesses say.
Reports say police used tear gas to disperse hundreds of people. They were protesting against the cancellation of seats won by the Popular List party in six electoral districts because of "financial irregularities".
The Popular List party, led by a businessman, had won a number of seats in Sidi Bouzid.
The town is the birthplace of the uprising that erupted nine months ago, after a young unemployed man set himself on fire. The uprising led to President Zine el-Abidine Ben Ali being thrown out of office.

NYT: Turkey shelters anti-Assad fighters - World news - The New York Times - msnbc.com
Ed Ou for The New York Times/ Col. Riad al-As'aad is the commander of the Free Syrian Army, an armed opposition group waging an insurgency against the government of President Bashar al-Assad. The group, living in a heavily guarded refugee camp in Turkey, claimed responsibility for killing nine Syrian soldiers in an attack in restive central Syria.
Once one of Syria's closest allies, Turkey now shelters anti-regime fighters
Support for insurgents comes amid a broader campaign to undermine Assad government
ANTAKYA, Turkey — Once one of Syria’s closest allies, Turkey is hosting an armed opposition group waging an insurgency against the government of President Bashar al-Assad, providing shelter to the commander and dozens of members of the group, the Free Syrian Army, and allowing them to orchestrate attacks across the border from inside a camp guarded by the Turkish military.
The support for the insurgents comes amid a broader Turkish campaign to undermine Mr. Assad’s government. Turkey is expected to impose sanctions soon on Syria, and it has deepened its support for an umbrella political opposition group known as the Syrian National Council, which announced its formation in Istanbul. But its harboring of leaders in the Free Syrian Army, a militia composed of defectors from the Syrian armed forces, may be its most striking challenge so far to Damascus.
