Libyan rebels are still fighting troops loyal to Colonel Gaddafi for control of Tripoli. The rebels say they've taken over most of the capital but are facing stiff resistance in some areas. Matthew Price is in Tripoli.

利比亚叛军仍在与忠于卡扎菲上校的力量争夺首都的黎波里的控制权。叛军表示，他们已经占领了首都大部分地区，但是在某些地区仍然面临顽固抵抗。Matthew Price在的黎波里报道。

Tripoli today is a tale of two cities. In one, jubilant opposition¹ supporters believe they are finally witnessing the end of Colonel Gaddafi. Gunmen control the streets of their neighbourhoods. Pro-Gaddafi forces are nowhere to be seen. The other Tripoli is one of anxiety, of fear, of heavy weapons and explosions. The battle for this city is not over. From Colonel Gaddafi's compound, smoke can be seen rising as the two sides fight for control there. And here, around the hotel where foreign journalists have stayed ever since this uprising began, Gaddafi's supporters control the streets. The premature² celebrations of last night seem not to have been repeated during the day. Instead, many stay indoors, wondering how long the fight for Tripoli will last.

的黎波里在今天被分为两个城市。在其中一个，欢呼的反对派支持者相信他们最终见证了卡扎菲上校时代的结束。持枪分子控制了他们所在社区的街道，街道上已经看不到卡扎菲力量的踪影。的黎波里的其他地方则是焦虑，恐惧，武器和炸药不断轰炸的情景。这座城市的战争还没有结束。由于双方仍在争夺控制权，卡扎菲上校官邸上方浓烟滚滚。在自抗议活动开始以来外国记者入住的酒店周围，卡扎菲的支持者控制了街道。昨晚提前举行的庆祝活动在今天白天没有重演。许多人待在室内，想知道的黎波里的战斗还要持续多久。

Colonel Gaddafi's whereabouts remain unknown. The head of the rebel National Transitional Council, Mustafa Abdul Jalil, says the real moment of victory will come when the Libyan leader is captured. From Benghazi, Paul Wood reports.

In the early hours of the morning, jubilant crowds in Benghazi celebrated³ the passing of Colonel Gaddafi's rule with volleys of automatic fire. But later in the day, here in the birthplace of the revolution, there was a more sober warning of the dangers posed by the victory unfolding in the capital. The leader of the National Transitional Council, Mustafa Abdul Jalil, said he was worried there could be revenge attacks. If military commanders ignored him and carried out reprisals⁴, he said, he would resign - a threat which gives a glimpse of the tensions within a movement now on the brink⁵ of forming a new government.

黎明时分，班加西欢呼雀跃的人群发射自动火炮，庆祝卡扎菲统治的结束。但是当天晚些时候，在革命的发源地，随着胜利的景象在这座城市逐渐展开，却出现了更加严厉的危险警告。过渡国民委员会领袖贾利勒表示，他担心会遭遇报复性袭击。他说，如果军事指挥官无视他的存在，进行报复，他将辞职——该威胁导致正在考虑组建新政府的活动出现了紧张的情绪。

Your revolution is your own, and your sacrifices have been extraordinary. Now the Libya that you deserve is within your reach. Going forward, we will stay in close coordination⁹ with the TNC to support that outcome."

“面对暴君，你们的勇气和品质坚不可摧。我们被大洋分隔两岸，但是我们在人类最基本的对自由，平等和尊严的追求方面是相同的。你们的革命是自己的，你们的牺牲是巨大的。现在，你们希望拥有的利比亚已经触手可及。希望你们继续保持下去，我们将与过渡国民委员会保持密切合作，支持你们取得这种结果。”

And initially¹⁶ the case was thought to be extremely strong, but it later, over the weeks, seemed to fall apart as there were serious questions over the credibility of the woman, over the alleged¹⁷ victim and the story that she gave to the prosecutors and also in later media appearances over the weeks about exactly what happened and when.
