Events in Libya are happening fast and furious. From AP:

CAIRO – Deep cracks opened in Moammar Gadhafi's regime Monday, with Libyan government officials at home and abroad resigning, air force pilots defecting and a major government building ablaze after clashes in the capital of Tripoli.

The BBC and Al Jazeera are both offering frequent coverage live on the web:
