No, not a war.

(Daily Mail) — Libyan rebels have regained control of the eastern gateway city of Ajdabiya after international airstrikes on Moammar Gaddafi’s forces.

Rebel fighters armed with RPGs said the city’s eastern gate fell late on Friday, while the western gate fell at dawn on Saturday after airstrikes on both locations.

People were seen driving through the streets, honking cars horns in and firing guns into the air in celebration in Ajdabiya, which has been under siege for over a week.

One pro-democracy fighter, Saif Sadawi, 20, said: ‘All of Ajdabiya is free.’

Ajdabiya’s sudden fall to Gaddafi’s troops spurred the swift U.N. resolution authorizing international action in Libya, and its return to rebel hands on Saturday came after a week of airstrikes and missiles against the Libyan leader’s military.

Tornado GR4 warplanes had earlier fired missiles at four tanks in the key Libyan city, turning them all into fireballs.

On the road into the city on Saturday, at least eight blackened Gaddafi tanks lay on the ground.

Defence Secretary Liam Fox said the armoured vehicles had been threatening the civilian population.

Gaddafi loyalists, who retook most of the town from rebels last week, had been accused of trying to starve locals and of carrying out beatings, kidnappings and rapes.
