Rebels 'closing in on Gaddafi'

Rebels hunting the top officials in Muammar’s Gaddafi’s ousted regime have captured his foreign minister and are closing in on Gaddafi himself, rebel officials said today.

The announcement, made on the 42nd anniversary of the coup that brought Gaddafi to power, also came as rebels forces pressed toward three major bastions of the crumbling regime, including Gaddafi’s hometown.
