The big news of today: Libyan Rebels invade Tripoli

It seemed that the Qaddafi era has finally come to an end, as rebels surrounded his estate this afternoon.

Rebels are still sweeping the city clearing out the last loyalist holdouts, but 85% of the city is now rebel owned.

However, Qaddafi is still at large as of 4:20 -7GMT this evening, and rebels are searching for him throughout the city. They have captured 3 of his sons, but the other 4 have not been found.

President Obama said that he supported the rebel takeover, but urged the rebels not to retaliate against the loyalist forces.
