£1m Reward For Gaddafi 'Dead Or Alive'
Rebels stamp on a golden mask of Col Gaddafi's face
A reward of £1m is being offered for whoever finds Colonel Muammar Gaddafi, dead or alive, the head of the Transitional National Council (NTC) has said. The leader's forces have attacked several locations in central Tripoli, according to rebel sources, including the former leader's own compound.
Col Gaddafi is believed to be hiding somewhere in the city and Mustafa Abdel Jalil said: "The NTC supports the initiative of businessmen who are offering two million dinars (£1m) for the capture of Muammar Gaddafi, dead or alive."
Mr Jalil said the NTC was offering an amnesty to any of Col Gaddafi's entourage who kill or capture him. Sky's security editor Sam Kiley, in Libya, said it is two businessmen based in Benghazi who are offering the money.
Meanwhile, fighting is also under way in the south of Tripoli, where rebels believe Col Gaddafi is hiding.
A rebel spokesman said: "There were bombardments on Bab al Aziziyah (compound), Al Mansoura area and another area near Rixos hotel.
"Most of this bombardment was carried out by the regime's cells positioned in the Abu Salim area." As the dictator's forces began to hit back, members of the rebels' transitional government are preparing for a move to Tripoli, where they intend to establish an interim administration.
The counter-attack comes as Col Gaddafi called for the city's residents to "cleanse" the capital of insurgents in an audio broadcast on Syrian television.
He told Al-Rai TV: "All Libyans must be present in Tripoli, young men, tribal men and women must sweep through Tripoli and comb it for traitors.
"I have been out a bit in Tripoli discreetly, without being seen by people, and...I did not feel that Tripoli was in danger," he said.
Rebel forces swept into Col Gaddafi's compound on Tuesday, seizing weapons and destroying symbols of the longstanding dictatorship.
