Tweets from news organizations and eyewitnesses have been arriving at an accelerating pace this afternoon, and the latest Twitter posts from inside Tripoli say that rebels are getting close to taking over the capital city of Libya. An unconfirmed rumor that Gaddafi was killed has been retracted.
A confirmed tweet from Reuters doesn’t go that far, stopping short of saying that Gaddafi is dead and reporting that his government is “ready for immediate negotiations, asks for end to rebel attacks.”
As we did in yesterday’s unconfirmed reports of Gaddafi’s exit from Tripoli, today we’ve created another Storify embed showing you selected tweets from the scene and from news organizations, and we will continue updating it as the situation in Libya continues to develop:
