Rebels claim attack on Tripoli | JournalNow.comTRIPOLI, Libya --
Libyan rebels said they launched their first attack on Tripoli in coordination with NATO late Saturday, with fighting erupting just hours after opposition fighters captured the key city of Zawiya nearby.

A couple of hours after the rebels said they had attacked Tripoli, state television ran what appeared to be a live audio message by Gadhafi.
He did not appear on television but sounded like he was calling in on a poor phone line, which crackled at times. Gadhafi condemned the rebels as traitors and "vermin" who are tearing Libya apart and said they were being chased from city to city.
"Libyans wanted to enjoy a peaceful Ramadan," he said. "Instead they have been made into refugees.
"What are we? Palestinians?"
