AFRICA: LIBYA: FIGHTING CONTINUES AS GADDAFI'S EMPIRE FALLS

Agenzia Fides REPORT - "Fighting and gun firing still continue. It is a disaster", say local sources from Tripoli to Fides, who have requested anonymity for security reasons.
"We do not know how the situation is evolving because leaving the house means risking one’s life".
The Libyan capital has been attacked by the offensive of the rebels, and we do not know anything about leader Gaddafi’s fate.
Sources of Fides reconstruct the past events: "The rebels began their offensive Friday night. On Saturday, August 20 at 9 am fighting began that lasted until one o'clock. On Sunday 21 violent fighting began and lasted all day. NATO air strikes continued until yesterday. They were very violent, especially on Saturday during the early stages of ground offensive".
