Gadhafi's Son Not Captured, War Not Over (Yet)

The battle for Tripoli wages on as the search for Gadhafi ramps up.

Huh. So those reports of Moammar Gadhafi's son, Saif al-Islam Gadhafi, getting arrested by Libyan rebels appear to be utterly false, as the reputed heir to his father's crazy throne met with reporters at a Tripoli hotel to refute claims of his demise. The rebel National Transitional Council had claimed they had both Saif al-Islam and another of Gadhafi's sons in custody as rebels began sweeping through Tripoli, suggesting the battle for the capital was largely over. But al-Islam's reappearance seems to throw that narrative out, as he drove reporters to check out pockets of fighting near the Gadhafi compound early this morning. Tripoli is the last refuge for Gadhafi and his family, although the hunt for the despot has so far gone unfulfilled as the rebels try to establish some sort of control over the coastal city.
