Rebels in Tripoli say they have taken Moammar Gadhafi's compound as fighting continues, CNN's Sara Sidner reports.
The anti-Gadhafi fighters came out of the compound chanting "God is great" and hugging each other in the streets.
Gadhafi's massive Bab al-Aziziya compound came under attack Tuesday, according to a rebel spokesman and opposition fighters in Tripoli.
Rebels received assistance from NATO air operations, which were continuing over Libya and, more specifically, Tripoli on Tuesday to protect civilians in areas where pro-Gadhafi forces may be active, a senior NATO official said. Vast areas remain contested in Libya and the tensions are far from over, a NATO spokesman said Tuesday.
"Massive blasts and lots of gunfire" filled the area, Sidner said. Dark smoke could be seen filling the skies above Tripoli.
