Rixos Hotel Journalists Are Freed

Heavy fighting and gunfire continued in the streets surrounding the hotel on Wednesday, as rebel forces battled to take full control of the capital. The Rixos hotel just south of the Tripoli city centre appeared to be one of the few parts of the city not under rebel control.
