Summary Libyan dictator who ruled for 41 years fights his last battle for his life and rule.
Libyan rebels on Tuesday launched a massive offensive on strongman Moamer Kadhafis sprawling Bab al-Azizya residence in Tripoli, AFP reporters said.Rebel fighters had warned earlier they would imminently mount an attack backed by captured tanks on the compound, in the centre of the capital.The sound of the fighting was the most intense heard in the city since rebels arrived three days ago.The sky was filled with the sound of heavy and light machine guns as well as mortars, with the overhead roar of NATO jets that have been carrying out much more intense air raids than in recent days.Even two kilometres (about a mile) from the fighting, the almost constant whistle of falling bullets could be hear from the rooftops, as the citys mosques chanted Allahu Akbar (God is the greatest).
