Expect a fairly fevered rumour mill over the next few hours and days as the curtain falls on the #Gaddafi regime in #Libya. Reports by @MalikAlAbdeh of Muamar #Gaddafi’s death in #Tripoli have been recanted, having been rapidly and widely retweeted. Various live #Gaddafi speeches have also been broadcast although his exact location and status are far from certain.
Various sources, including @AJELive, have two or three of #Gaddafi’s sons in rebel hands (as of 11pm or so) with little resistance in #Tripoli. Either way, #Libya appears unlikely to be under #Gaddafi control tomorrow.
It’s possible that #Assad will trend sometime soon…
