Shots of celebratory gunfire rang out in Tobruk, a city in eastern Libya, where protesters say Muammar Gaddafi can no longer claim control over their region.

One defected general said he is sure that Gaddafi’s regime “will fall in the coming few days.” Meanwhile, new WikiLeaks cables reveal the exorbitant lifestyle of Gaddafi’s reign—his son's New Year’s party with Mariah Carey in St. Barts, lavish expense accounts for his sons through oil profits, and more.
