Tripoli, Libya (CNN) -- An amateur league of ill-trained rebel fighters appeared to be on the brink of toppling Moammar Gadhafi's 42-year rule Monday after capturing two of the leader's sons and infiltrating the Libyan capital.
But in a possible indication that the fight is not over, celebrations in Tripoli's Green Square -- renamed Martyrs' Square by the rebels -- gave way to tension Monday morning after rebels told CNN that they'd heard Gadhafi army forces were heading their way.
The uncertainty came hours after a rebel official said two of Moammar Gadhafi's sons -- Saif al-Islam and Saadi -- had been arrested by opposition forces. Jumma Ibrahim, a rebel spokesman based in Libya's western mountain region, said both were captured in Tripoli.
>>>This must be heartbreaking for the IRI and its supporters, cloaked and openly IRI type. To think that just a short while ago, one of their most famous "reform" types was supporting Qaddafi on my blog here:

He must be reaching for his heartburn medication now. :-)
