you can imagine a family living in benghazi. the father and son are part of it. they get weapons and are ready to defend their street. they're part of the civilians, of the population, and they are really united against gaddafi. they will not stop until gaddafi goes out of the country. >> you met members of the transitional council in it benghazi. do they have a plan? >> they already have a plan, a vision. they want to draft a new constitution. under gaddafi's regime, there is no constitution. they want a new political party. they want to have a fair and free election to everyone. i think it will be very interesting to see how -- because some of the rebels are religious. you also have a lot of different tribes in libya. so how all these elements will come together to be part of a new libya, it is going to be interesting. >> it is a very fluid situation. how difficult will it be to bring all these elements together and have a united libya? >> i think this will be the challenge. the national transitional council says they do not want to have an islamic country. the

a major square in benghazi, lots of gunfire. it's not unusual for us to hear gunfire every day here in benghazi but i don't recall seeing anything like we saw last night, a good two hours where we saw continuous heavy gunfire, artillery fire, explosions, hundreds of people celebrating, very interesting. one opposition supporter leaned in to our crew and suggested the rebel fighters should save their ammunition, his way of saying that this fight is not over even if saif al arab gadhafi has not been killed. >> this is not the sob, a lot of people hear the name, might sound familiar, this is not the son who has done some interviews, defending his father so how big of a blow would it be to gadhafi, do they believe if this is true that this son was killed? >> reporter: as far as the opposition is concerned, first and foremost, they want colonel gadhafi gone. they want him ousted but they despise all members of his family, so if nato takes out any of his sons, they will welcome it and i think they will welcome any indication that nato

and when i got in it was already there was a lot of momentum going on if benghazi. we, no one had really started accessing the front line. a lot of the images coming out of there were the celebrations. and this is actually the first day a rifed. the first afternoon i arrived. a rifed about noon and went directly to the courthouse. >> will it require more from britain and france in order to, and perhaps more from the united states in order to break the will of qaddafi? >> i think so. i mean i think the rebels don't have what it takes to do it alone. i think a lot of the guys that you see on the front line are engineers and doctors and not professional fighters. they are shall for a long time they were no match to the government soldiers. when i was there there were air strikes coming in. there was a lot-- you know, we were getting hit by tank fire. >> you thought benghazi was falling. >> when i was taken we were at ajdabiyah. but wile we were in captivity, the no-fly zone was put in place. and that's when they were right almost at benghazi. >> rose: tell us about it,

richard eng cell in benghazi with the latest. what can you tell us? >> secretary of state made a very clear statement, perhaps the clearest yet on what the -- she said in order to protect the civilians, the libyan people, the best way to do that is to remove moammar gadhafi. so stating very clearly that the goal not just the pretext for the conflict but the actual object sieve regime change. and on the money, there is this movement here in benghazi to attract funds from around the world. the interim government here, which hasn't been recognized by the united states, is asking for $3 billion. and today, at that rome conference, we heard hillary clinton say that the united states isn't going to pledge any or large amounts of american money, but it is examining ways to free up some of the $30 billion or so in frozen -- and to try and transfer some of that money to the government in benghazi which says it desperately needs it for fuel, food, medicine, basic supplies to keep the city running and to keep eastern libya alive. >> all right, richard engel ther

nato has defended benghazi. but no further breakthrough. it looks as though nato is trying to deliver a hammer blow to try and break this stalemate, but what we saw this evening soon after the strike was many people come out onto the streets showing their defiance. so it is hard to say whether or not nato will achieve its objective. >> thank you very much for that update. andrew north in tripoli. just confirming that there have been reports of nato airstrikes and explosions, some 20 explosions reported within a very short space of time. some 30 minutes, at this heavy bombardment on the capital of tripoli itself. and the government spokesman we have been quoting to you from a number of news agencies - - and he said three people have been killed during the latest nato air strikes and he has come out and said that 150 have been wounded. andrew north just told us it is hard to cooperate and that information from the government spokesman. we do not know whether those figures are correct. that is the latest situation on the nato airstrikes in tri

our chief foreign correspondent richard engle tracking it all again tonight from his post in benghazi, libya. richard, i understand the problem today was again, syrians firing on their own people. >> reporter: it was, and that has been the problem from the start. the syrian government has denied entry visas to foreign journalists. it clearly doesn't want the world to see what it is doing, which is a systematic city by city sweep against protesters. overnight, syria deployed tanks in the city of homs. witnesses say dozens of tanks have set up checkpoints and shelled the city earlier today. even as funerals were held for pro testers killed in this seven-week crackdown. human rights groups say they have documented more than 700 killings since unrest began. many more, perhaps 10,000, have been arrested. and there are no signs of foreign intervention coming, or that the syrian government has any intention of stopping. syrian president bashar assad said he's fighting an armed insurrection instigated from outside the country. the european unit has imposed an arms embargo on syria. and travel

it would be better to let the ship enter into the point to take this person to benghazi. this is our problem. >> reporter: already patients are dying while listed for transfer by boat to benghazi. they have a list of others desperate to move. these are people in need? people who must be evacuated? >> yes! >> reporter: four intensive care cases, 33 in all waiting for that ship. to get in and get out of misurata ports involves congregating around 1500 people, dock workers, a thousand migrant workers desperate to escape, 50 or 60 hospital patients and so forth. congregating 1,500 people in a confined space in the middle of a shelling zone for anything up to five or six hours. it is not an easy call. 12 miles offshore, this ship is up able to dock. colonel qaddafi says any ship now leaving or entering misurata is a target. smoke rises from the almost daily salvos of missiles and shells that hit the port area. so to make a run for it is to be either brave or foolish. or both. and yet to our astonishment, the skipper of this turkish freighter did just that. even as they're hit

with us tonight once again from benghazi, in libya, richard, good evening. >> reporter: good evening, brian. this is a very difficult decision. if the photographs were released very quickly, they would be used for propaganda purposes. they would become the wallpaper on cell phones and laptops of every would-be militant across the region, but the u.s. does have a tradition of trotting out these photos despite what the president said. when saddam hussein's sons were killed by the military, they released those graphic images and when abu musab al zarqawi another al qaeda leader, was killed in a special forces raid, his photograph was blown up by the military, poster-size, and presented at a press conference. because that's not happening this time, there's quite a bit of doubt on the internet and on the streets. >> richard engle in benghazi, libya, tonight, thanks for that. let's go to the scene of the raid in pakistan where high level pakistani officials arrived today at bin laden's compound north of islamabad. tonight, there are more pictures from inside that hideout where the u.s. navy
