A blow to the colonel in command at Tripoli, and a boost for rebels last Sunday, with tanks of the despot in the door of Benghazi, feared a bloodbath. At noon yesterday, dozens of insurgents were firing into the air and antiaircraft machine guns. The joy was overwhelming and the noise, deafening.
They shouted "God is greatest" looking at the sky, where Allied aircraft fired missiles early morning against soldiers loyal to the tyrant. The few civilians who resisted the siege thanked foreign aid. Without it, would still be a hell Ajdabiya. Is still far from Tripoli. But at least ended the ordeal for Ajdabiya, a population that was emptied of its 100,000 inhabitants.
"We have been surrounded for days. They came with their trucks and shot at the houses. The vast majority of women and children fled. We had no electricity, no gas for cooking, or running water. We survived because many houses have underground water tanks, and used electric power converters follow the news on television, "recounted yesterday Abdullah, a married father of a child.

"entire families and kidnapped the driver of the four journalists arrested in The New York Times. Shakluf called Mohamed is my neighbor, his car is still in the east gate of Ajdabiya "Abdullah claimed." Rebels to step out when the military raided in vans.
But since Wednesday, when we learned of the kidnapping, they attacked even more. "International coalition could be aware of." In the last three days bombarded with more strength, "smiled the employee of an oil company. The destruction in many neighborhoods jumped sight: hundreds of buildings with gaps of one meter or gunned down, homes of a plant-like almost everyone in this sprawling city, turned to rubble, charred cars and military vehicles on several streets, playgrounds destroyed ...
"The Gaddafi men robbed in supermarkets. Look, razed the pharmacy, "said Muftasaid, a fifty, while treading medicine bottles.
