Haj Raba Mohammed, 62, stopped by to get his hair cut at the makeshift salon at Ajdabiya's western gate. He said he was born in Ajdabya, lives in Ajdabiya and will die in Ajdabiya. He's actually 20 years old, he said, since you need to subtract Muammar Gaddafi's 42 years in power. ''Even the gray hairs I got from Gaddafi are gone,'' he said. taken at 2011-04-23T13:58:19-08:00

This decades-old Land Cruiser has been pressed into service by the rebels. Khaled Mesaoud, a 28-year-old fighter sitting on the back next to a mounted anti-aircraft gun, said he and his friend called it ''the Donkey's Head,'' because of how stubborn and resilient it is.
