After days of fighting, Tripoli Central Hospital is swamped with some 115 dead bodies that have not been claimed. Dozens more are piling up at an abandoned hospital in Tripoli's Abu Salim neighborhood. Meanwhile, Libyan rebels continued to search for Gaddafi on Friday amid rumors that the embattled leader and his sons were either surrounded or spotted. "We are sending special forces every day to hunt down Gaddafi," a rebel leader told Reuters, adding that rebels planned to target parts of Tripoli where they are facing heavy resistance from Gaddafi loyalists. Rebels are also moving their central government from Benghazi to Tripoli, and are pleading with the U.S. for financial aid to establish peace and stability in the nation.
