The shocking appearance of Saif al-Islam Gaddafi on Tripoli's streets in the early hours of Tuesday morning shattered the sense that the rebels' victory in Libya was in hand. Supposedly in rebel custody, Colonel Muammar Gaddafi's son was instead seen talking to the press surrounded by supporters, raising concerns that the opposition might be struggling to knit together a cohesive government-in-waiting, as it battles to finally crush Gaddafi's regime - as well as to hunt down the fugitive leader himself.
On Monday, the opposition leaders of the National Transitional Council, or NTC, had repeatedly hailed its fighters for having arrested Saif the night before, after they stormed into Tripoli, apparently meeting only light resistance from Gaddafi's remaining forces. NTC officials even boasted that they were treating Saif well "in a safe location." - Yahoo! News
