Libya: New York Times Journalists Released
The four journalists who were missing in Libya have been released and are on their way out of the country. Meanwhile, the air assault against Col. Gadhafi’s forces continues in the country. Correspondent for The New York Times’ David Kirkpatrick reports from Tripoli. He says the air strikes happen overnight. However, will the no-fly zone be enough to topple Gadhafi? It seems, says Kirkpatrick, that the hope is that with air support from the allies’, the rebels will have enough moral support to keep up the fight on the ground.
