People celebrate the capture in Tripoli of Moammar Gadhafi's son and one-time heir apparent, Seif al-Islam, at the rebel-held town of Benghazi, Libya, early Monday, Aug. 22, 2011. Libyan rebels raced into Tripoli in a lightning advance Sunday that met little resistance as Moammar Gadhafi's defenders melted away and his 40-year rule appeared to rapidly crumble. The euphoric fighters celebrated with residents of the capital in the city's main square, the symbolic heart of the regime. (AP Photo/Alexandre Meneghini) (AP)

Ten rebel fighters were killed in an advance on the strategic oil town of Brega in eastern Libya on Saturday, with rebel forces sweeping the outskirts for land mines so they could move in, officials said. The advance came after Libya's main opposition group was recognized by more than 30 nations, including the U.S., as Libya's legitimate government. Friday's decision potentially frees up billions of dollars in cash that the rebels urgently need. (AP Photo/Tara Todras-Whitehill) (AP)
