Aljazeera: Women celebrate fall of Gaddafi in Tripoli
http://english.aljazeera.net/news/africa/2011/09/20119219140210908.html

Thousands of women have gathered in Martyrs' square in the Libyan capital of Tripoli to add their voices to the chorus of celebrations marking an end to the rule of Muammar Gaddafi. Women have often been publically absent during the revolution, but they used the occasion on Friday evening to take part in what has been called the "million women march".

Al Jazeera's Anita McNaught, reporting from Tripoli, said unlike many celebratory occasions in previous weeks, the gathering was peaceful, with no rifles or guns being fired.

On Thursday, Gaddafi released a defiant audio message, where he warned: "We will not surrender, we are not women and we are going to keep on fighting."

Gaddafi called on his supporters to set Libya alight, vowed that his backers would not give up, he said in the message. "Let there be a long fight and let Libya be engulfed in flames."

1. Some here will say Aljazeera isn't a credible source
Since, they are still pissed Gaddafi is out of power.
