:04:08. > :04:16.window here, he told us. We got very little air and slapped back
:04:16. > :04:22.together. One of the regime's worst atrocities happened here in 1996

:04:32. > :04:34.
:04:34. > :04:39.past is wide open. Many other medical staff have freed the city.
:04:39. > :04:45.The lack of medicine and other suppliers has also meant them many
:04:45. > :04:55.seriously injured people had been left to die. Our correspondent has
:04:55. > :04:55.
:04:55. > :05:01.been to look at the situation at the main hospital in Tripoli. This
:05:01. > :05:05.is one of the most distressing sight I have ever seen. In and
:05:05. > :05:10.around his hospital their hundreds of dead bodies. Men, women and
:05:10. > :05:14.children are just lying on trolleys everywhere. We don't know who they
:05:14. > :05:20.were, fighters, civilians or mercenaries. What we do know is
:05:20. > :05:24.that when bodies and injured people are brought here, there were no
:05:24. > :05:32.hospital staff left to treat them because of the fighting going on in
:05:32. > :05:38.buildings around here. People were left to die and they slowly did die.
:05:38. > :05:43.There are hundreds of bodies lying everywhere. It is a very
:05:43. > :05:48.distressing sight. Many people here are blaming Colonel Gadaffi for
:05:48. > :05:54.this, but to was responsible is impossible to say. These are local
:05:54. > :05:58.people are you trying to clean up the mess. The residents of Tripoli
:05:58. > :06:08.are trying to get back to normal but they are obviously facing many
:06:08. > :06:12.
:06:12. > :06:17.difficulties. Slowly, slowly life here is getting
:06:17. > :06:22.back to normal. But there is a water shortage. Someone has brought
:06:22. > :06:32.in this tanker to help alleviate the shortages. Do you live here?
:06:32. > :06:32.
:06:32. > :06:40.Yes, I do. You have no water? Nothing. He closed it. The big
:06:40. > :06:47.monkey, Gadaffi. Her many days without water? Four days.
:06:47. > :06:51.brought the water? He heard that Tripoli had no water, so he felt
:06:51. > :07:01.this and product round to help people. Was the water deliberately
:07:01. > :07:04.
:07:04. > :07:11.cut off? Before this problem, no one cut its, and now when they
:07:11. > :07:16.removed its themselves from Tripoli,, they cut everything.
:07:16. > :07:26.he has not gone yet its? We need him to go. We don't like him any
:07:26. > :07:27.
:07:27. > :07:32.more. Finished with him. Goodbye. Even though Colonel Gadaffi's here
:07:33. > :07:41.is all but over, he still has his ability to impose his ideas on the
:07:42. > :07:47.people of Tripoli who are trying to move on to something different.
:07:47. > :07:53.We sold their how difficult it is for suppliers to get through. Were
:07:53. > :07:57.people just waiting for the next government to come in? This is a
:07:57. > :08:01.city in waiting, and country in waiting. While they wait, they are
:08:01. > :08:06.still waiting about the conditions of life. People are starting to
:08:06. > :08:11.talk about if there could be electricity shortages as well
:08:11. > :08:16.because these key services are still held by a loyalists to
:08:16. > :08:21.Colonel Gadaffi. Also, the fighting is not over. Some of the heaviest
:08:21. > :08:26.fighting has been taking place just south of Tripoli. There is the
:08:26. > :08:30.constant sound of gunfire. Some of it is in celebration, but there is
:08:30. > :08:38.also incoming fire, exchanges of gunfire and a lot of guns on the
:08:38. > :08:43.street held by rebels, the supporters of Colonel Gadaffi, so
:08:43. > :08:49.until this situation stabilises it will remain on edge. When you talk
:08:49. > :08:56.to people, you can see their broad smiles that his regime is over, but
:08:56. > :09:05.he still hangs on, both in the audio messages we hear answered the
:09:05. > :09:08.way he is controlling people's lives by cutting off the water.
:09:08. > :09:11.With most of Tripoli under rebel control, their next, and possibly
:09:11. > :09:13.last, big challenge is to capture the town of Sirte, Colonel
:09:13. > :09:17.Gaddafi's birthplace, which is still run by regime loyalists.
:09:17. > :09:20.British Air Force Tornadoes pounded targets there overnight. The
:09:20. > :09:22.Ministry of Defence says it hit a command and control bunker and
:09:22. > :09:29.nearly 30 armed vehicles. Our correspondent Paul Wood reports
:09:29. > :09:33.from Ras Lanuf on the coastal road to Sirte. The rebels have been
:09:33. > :09:38.steadily fighting away at this road. The evidence is everywhere. As in
:09:38. > :09:48.all wars, there is a lot of destruction of public property, and

:11:31. > :11:36.They are a pretty idealistic bunch and certainly talk the language of

:14:06. > :14:10.iceberg. There are a lot of people in need of help care that can move

:14:39. > :14:47.radical Islamist group Boko Haram said it carried out the attack. The
:14:47. > :14:50.BBC's Mark Doyle reports. The attack took place mid-morning
:14:50. > :14:56.when the building would have been full of diplomats and office
:14:56. > :15:01.workers. Some 400 people worked there for International Development

:15:21. > :15:25.whole area was damaged. The first floor was in flames. All the glass
:15:25. > :15:30.came down. Quite a few number of vehicles and the compound were
:15:30. > :15:35.destroyed as well. Rescue workers and armed police officers took the
:15:35. > :15:41.dead and injured to nearby hospitals. This is a purpose-built
:15:41. > :15:49.capital, well organised compared with some of Nigeria's conurbations,

:15:55. > :16:01.shock that many Nigerians will field. It is an attack on the
:16:01. > :16:06.international community. An attack on the world's. It is really sad.
:16:06. > :16:09.It is not acceptable to the Nigerian nation. This is the first

:16:29. > :16:33.behind this? It is not yet Clare whether they did it. Boko Haram
:16:33. > :16:39.claimed responsibility, but this is too shocking. This is the first
:16:39. > :16:46.time we have had such a huge car bomb in Nigeria. Lots of people are
:16:46. > :16:50.thinking that there might be outside influence. Al-Qaeda at?
:16:50. > :16:55.is a bit opaque, the relationship that Boko Haram has with other
:16:55. > :17:00.groups. We know, it has been published in newspapers, that some
:17:00. > :17:05.members have been to Sudan and Somalia, and North Africa, but
:17:05. > :17:14.nothing has been known to. There is no concrete relationship
:17:14. > :17:16.established. Which gives the Government a headache if to --
:17:16. > :17:21.headache. The President had been planning to negotiate with the
:17:21. > :17:25.group and that has now gone by the by. That is probably one of the
:17:25. > :17:29.reasons why they carried out the explosion. In order to get
:17:29. > :17:38.attention so that they can put themselves back on the agenda.
:17:38. > :17:45.There was talk that the President would talk to them. But as it
:17:45. > :17:48.happens, it was forgotten or put aside. And here we are. As you say,
:17:48. > :17:52.it is a big escalation, because there have been suicide bombings
:17:53. > :18:01.and attacks, but the attack on the police headquarters, nothing. This
:18:01. > :18:11.is a step up. This is worrying. The group started in 2003. Normally,
:18:11. > :18:11.
:18:11. > :18:15.they engage in low-level activities. And then in 2009, we had the
:18:15. > :18:20.uprising, and after that, their leader was killed. We have never
:18:21. > :18:26.had a huge thing like this. It is worrying in the sense that this
:18:26. > :18:30.could set a trend for bigger things. Looking back at the motive, is it
:18:30. > :18:37.something about the UN's activities in education? There is some
:18:37. > :18:41.speculation that this is a move against Western education.
:18:41. > :18:49.People indicate that Boko Haram means that Western education is
:18:49. > :18:55.sinful. It is not that. The UN has never been a priority in Nigeria.
:18:55. > :19:05.It is not a target for Nigerians. The level of education provided by
:19:05. > :19:09.the UN in Nigeria is very minimal. If Boko Haram actually wants to hit
:19:09. > :19:16.those who are encouraging Western education, there are other targets.
:19:16. > :19:20.I think there is a different agenda here. Much more for us to find out.
