Libyan rebels raced into Tripoli in a lightning advance yesterday that met little resistance as Moammar Gadhafi’s defenders melted away and his 40-year rule appeared to rapidly crumble. The euphoric fighters celebrated with residents of the capital in the city’s main square, the symbolic heart of the regime. Opposition fighters captured Gadhafi’s son and one-time heir apparent, Seif al-Islam. The prosecutor at the International Criminal Court in the Netherlands said he would contact the rebels to discuss his handover for trial on charges of crimes against humanity. Reporters with the rebels said the fighters easily advanced from the west, took town after town — welcomed by residents — overwhelmed a major military base, then swept into the capital in a stunning turning of the tide in the six-month-old Libyan civil war. The fighters and Tripoli residents who support them flooded Green Square, shooting in the air in celebration. THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
