JEDAIM, Libya—Rebel fighters reached the outskirts of Tripoli on Sunday and dissidents claimed they were in control of several city neighborhoods as the six-month-old battle for control of Libya appeared to be hurtling towards its climax.
Rebel leaders in Tripoli said Libyan leader Moammar Gaddafi’s compound was effectively surrounded, the rebel flag is now flying from many buildings across the capital and that the opposition is now only waiting for rebel reinforcements to arrive before beginning a final assault.
