Libyan atrocities may come to light

The World

As the Libyan capital falls from Gadhafi’s grasp, we’re getting a first look at how the former regime dealt with its opponents in its last days. A range of atrocities appear to have been carried out by Gadhafi’s forces in it’s final hours. This happens as heavy fighting has continues in Tripoli, which is now almost entirely in the hands of rebel fighters. We have the latest dispatch from, Middle East correspondent  Wyre Davies, from our partner the BBC.
