UPDATE: Dozens of international journalists were freed from a Tripoli hotel on Wednesday after five gruelling days of sniper fire, power cuts, dwindling supplies and threats by armed men loyal to Moammar Gadhafi. The journalists were taken in Red Cross cars and vans to another Tripoli hotel, where they hugged friends and colleagues.
