1832: Paul Wood BBC News, Benghazi

Jubilant crowds in Benghazi celebrated the passing of Col Gaddafi's rule with volleys of automatic fire. But later, here in the birthplace of the revolution, there was a more sober warning of the dangers posed by the victory unfolding in the capital. The leader of the National Transitional Council, Mustafa Abdul Jalil, said he was worried there could be revenge attacks. If military commanders ignored him and carried out reprisals, he said, he would resign - a threat which gives a glimpse of the tensions within a movement now on the brink of forming a new government.
