Dubai - Libyan leader Muammar Gaddafi's son Khamis is leading a military force towards central Tripoli, Al Arabiya TV said on Tuesday, citing rebel sources.
Libyan government tanks and snipers put up scattered, last-ditch resistance in Tripoli after rebels sweep into the heart of the capital, cheered on by crowds hailing the end of Muammar Gaddafi's 42 years in power.
The Dubai-based channel said the forces departed from Gaddafi's Bab al-Aziziya compound.
