Rebel leaders have taken control of Tripoli and arrested Colonel Gaddafi's sons Saif al-Islam and Mohammad.
On a night of extraordinary developments in the Libyan capital, the rebels advanced through the city capturing the central Green Square as the regime crumbled.
In a symbolic move the rebels immediately began calling it Martyr's Square, rejecting the colour so associated with Gaddafi's despised regime.
Thousands took to the streets to celebrate the rebels' success, firing guns into the air, chanting loudly and destroying symbols of Gaddafi.
Many Tripoli residents received a text message from the rebel leadership saying: 'God is Great. We congratulate the Libyan people on the fall of Muammar Gaddafi.' More + photos...
