Qaddafis Hold in Tripoli in Doubt as Rebels Advance

CAIRO Six months after the outbreak of the revolt against his 42 years in
power, Col. Muammar el-Qaddafis hold on his Tripoli stronghold shows signs
of slipping.
.
Residents of Tripoli, the capital, who for months had hesitated to talk
openly over the phone, said in calls Friday night that they believed
Colonel Qaddafis flight or ouster could be imminent. Three people said the
feeling of fear was ebbing in the streets.
.
It is much quieter today than yesterday and the day before, said one
resident, still not willing to reveal his name. The situation is getting
really tough now.
.
With unexpected swiftness, the ill-trained and ill-equipped rebels from
the western mountains this week overtook much of the strategic coastal
town of Zawiyah, with its enormous oil refinery, just 30 miles west of
Tripoli. By Saturday morning, there were reports they controlled it
completely.
.
They had also taken Gharyan, an important outpost along the trade route to
the south. And a correspondent for the Arab news network Al Jazeera in the
town of Zlitan, a crucial Qaddafi barracks town east of Tripoli, reported
that it too had fallen to the rebels. Qaddafi troops had concentrated in
all three towns, and their retreat in the face of the amateurish rebels
raised new doubts about the will and cohesion of the loyalist forces.
.
As a result of the victories, most of the main roads that had supplied
Tripoli have been closed. The citys residents, accustomed to soaring food
prices, weeklong waits for gas and long electrical blackouts, say they are
now coping with a crime wave and uncollected garbage.
.
Many residents, fearing a bloody fight, are trying to flee. Rebels said
that among them was Abdel Salam Jalloud, a leading figure in the 1969
revolution that brought Colonel Qaddafi to power. If confirmed, his would
be the second high-profile defection in five days.
