ZAWIYAH, Libya ? With his flipped-round baseball cap and ?Just Do It? T-shirt, Tareg Gazel looks like any other 19 year old. But this teen?s job is to use cunning and guile to find and kill Kadhafi regime snipers.His mother is from Belfast, his father is Libyan and, as if drawn from the script of a Hollywood movie, he is now using what he learnt hunting game in the desert to liberate Zawiyah, his city that lies almost at the gates of Tripoli.Rebels said late Friday that they had freed Zawiyah, just 40 kilometres (25 miles) from the Libyan capital, but rockets continued to fall on the city from a nearby forest and it is uncertain whether all the snipers have been eliminated.?We killed four last night, two the night before,? Gazel told AFP as he waited with his rebel comrades under the protection of a motorway flyover, taking a rest and cleaning weapons before the next sniper report comes in.He is prepared to reveal some of the ruses that he and the eight-man team he heads use to find snipers around the sprawling city, but ?not the new tricks.??We hear from informants that there?s a sniper somewhere, so we go to see what?s happening, we stay several hours just to observe and then we do our tricks.??At night the job is easier. We attach a light to a dog, and when it crosses the street, we see where the sniper?s laser sight is coming from. That?s how we got the last one. Or we run across the street ourselves to draw their fire.??The most we?ve waited to get a sniper is eight hours. We?re not (elite US Navy) SEALs or anything, we?re just lucky.?Luck and the experiences gained from one of the favourite pre-revolution pastimes in the area.?Many of us around here are hunters, we?re good with rifles,? he said, boasting that ?most of our kills are either to the head or to the heart.?But these hunters now tracking human prey are up against a better-trained and better equipped enemy. Gazel says that most of their foes are foreign mercenaries as Kadhafi has to buy his fighters because of a lack of po...

Nato spokesman Roland Lavoie tells the BBC the alliance has no contact with the rebels and is not co-ordinating their advance. "It is up to the two parties to sort out their differences and to figure out how they could get out of that crisis. In the meantime, Nato is just providing security and this is the mandate we will continue to do in the coming days."

De Libische leider Muammar Kaddafi heeft het volk 'uit alle regio's' opgeroepen om Tripoli te bevrijden van de rebellen die de hoofdstad belegeren. Dat was te horen in een audioboodschap die vanavond werd uitgezonden door de staatstelevisie.

Kaddafi zei verder dat hij tot het bittere eind in Tripoli blijft en zich niet zal overgeven. Hij zei te vrezen dat de hoofdstad 'zal branden' door de aanval die de rebellen hebben geopend.

Volgens mij gaat het juist prima op deze manier. Het Westen raakt niet verzeild in een grondoorlog en de rebellen knappen het klusje zelf op.
