adjibya. we re hearing the rule road all the way to ras lanuf is clear and in control of the opposition. according to the fighters at the checkpoint. they are telling us that they are stationing themselves outside of ras lanuf. gadhafi forces are on the other side of an oil-rich, critical location this time they are learned their lesson. they have a bit more military expertise. they will take this battle very slowly. and everyone here very thankful to the international community. very thankful to the coalition for the air strikes that have allowed the opposition to come this far, t.j. can you tell us as well. it seems to me you were reporting this yesterday this would not have been possible without the coalition air strikes clearing the road literally for them to make their way west. tell us about the group. we re getting an idea of what s around you.
