Libyration? Video of rebels saluting success in Tripoli

Hundreds of rebels gathered in Tripoli's Green Square on Wednesday night to celebrate their growing control of the capital, and the perceived end of the Gadhafi regime. Fireworks lit up the night sky amid victorious chanting and gunfire. After they took it over late on Sunday night, rebels declared that Green Square would now be called Martyr's Square - restoring the name it had before Gadhafi's regime took power more than four decades ago. The rebels have taken control of much of Libya with the help of a relentless NATO air campaign that included about 7,500 strike attacks against Moammar Gadhafi's forces. His defences around Tripoli melted away as the rebels rapidly advanced and entered the capital on Sunday.
