Exclamations of joy fill the air as residents of Benghazi find themselves in an unimaginable situation: Freed from Moammar Khadafy's rule for the first time in more than four decades.
Protesters celebrate and shout slogans following their takeover of Benghazi. Even amid the euphoria, rumors abound that Moammar Khadafy will strike back, either through massive aerial or naval bombardments or through a string of stealth attacks from his plainclothes agents.
3A Libyan closes a box of ammunition at Al-Katiba military base after it fell to protesters battling the splintering government of Moammar Khadafy. The base is near Benghazi, the nation's second-largest city and one also under the control of rebels. Army units and militiamen loyal to Khadafy struck back Thursday against rebels in cities closer to the capital of Tripoli, attacking a mosque where many were holding an anti-government sit-in and battling others who seized control of an airport.

Anti-government demonstrators pray for the country along a Benghazi street Thursday. The uprising first gained strength in Benghazi on Feb. 16 when a group armed with gasoline bombs and rocks gathered at a government office and demanded the release of a human rights advocate.
Rebels have gained control of the eastern city of Tobruk, where demonstrators had set fire to a police station and destroyed vehicles. Tobruk is one of a string of Libyan towns made famous during World War II, when Allied armies wrest control of them from Italian and German forces
In Tobruk, troops and police have either withdrawn or joined with diffuse and disparate opposition groups to start providing some order and services. Several Libyans walk through a burned-out government building Thursday.
Anti-Khadafy protesters shout slogans in Benghazi. After a week of violence in which it threw off government control, this elegant port of about 700,000 is being run by committees of citizens as the dust of rebellion settles.

Anti-government protesters celebrate their victory in Benghazi. Many residents insist on still gathering daily, in what has become a ritual defiance of a 1973 law that banned four or more people from gathering. Moammar Khadafy had long squelched any attempts to organize, even if it was for a civic group.
In Benghazi, a relative mourns the death of Ahmed Sarawi, 36, who was killed in recent clashes.
In Benghazi, the birthplace of the revolt against Moammar Khadafy, celebrations have replaced clashes in the street after rebels took over the city. Residents join former soldiers and jubilant rebels in setting off fireworks and condemning the Libyan leader. Thousands converge on the city center, waving red, green and black monarchy-era flags and giving out snacks and juice to passing cars, which honk their horns.
