Fuel is scarce in Libya's capital after days of fighting that sent Moammar Gadhafi underground, but that didn't stop residents from using gas to set fire to a giant portrait of the toppled leader on Saturday.
The burning billboard near Gadhafi's Bab al-Azizya compound, the heart of his regime seized by rebels on Tuesday, was just part of the celebrations. But for all the joy, Libya's capital is smoldering and fearful, and attention is turning to whether anti-Gadhafi forces can consolidate control, bring order and show they can not only topple a dictatorship, but build a democracy.
Gadhafi's whereabouts, meanwhile, remain unknown. NATO and rebel fighters are focusing on his hometown of Sirte, his last major bastion of support. And Tripoli itself is not entirely calm, explosions were heard overnight and Saturday saw reports of bombing at Tripoli's airport.
