Opposition's flag raised in front of Libyan Embassy in Ankara

The Libyan ambassador in Ankara attempted to make a statement but opposition supporters prevented the envoy's speech, saying he is a Gaddafi loyalist. Two of Gaddafi's sons were captured by the rebels, but the whereabouts of Gaddafi himself, one of the world's longest ruling leaders, were unknown.    

US President Barack Obama said Gaddafi's rule was showing signs of collapse six months after dissidents inspired by the Arab Spring uprisings in neighboring Tunisia and Egypt first took to the streets.
