Rebels Give Gadhafi Family One Week To Surrender; Gadhafi Family Split

The National Transitional Council has issued an ultimatum to the Gadhafi family, telling them that they have one week to surrender. The military arm of the National Transitional Council has surrounded the town of Bani Walid, which is considered the last holdout of support for Gadhafi.  There are anti-Gadhafi forces also encircling his home town of Sirte.  An advisor still loyal to the leader insisted that he was still in Libya and well defended, but he was not sure where exactly Gadhafi was.

The Gadhaffi family is far from unified in all this. Saadi Gadhafi, son of Col. Moammar Gadhafi, has been working to negotiate a cease-fire between his father's forces and the National Transitional Council.  He expressed anger to CNN over comments made by his brother Saif al-Islam over the radio that halted negotiations.

The National Transitional Council also announced that it would be moving its headquarters from Benghazi in the east to Libya's capital Tripoli in the west.  NTC forces also have been raiding abandoned army bases and apprehending the equipment left there by Gadhafi's defeated army.  The NTC is also beginning to restore Libya's oil production.

CNN also reports that Cuba has withdrawn its ambassador from Libya, saying that it does not recognize the National Transitional Council as the legitimate government of Libya.
