Foreign reporters trapped in Libya hotel

  • 12 years ago
Around 40 foreigners - most of them journalists - are now trapped inside the Rixos hotel in Tripoli.

They are being guarded by pro-Gaddafi gunmen and are unable to leave the hotel to cover the latest events.

Meanwhile, there have been reports of machine gun fire on the streets surrounding the hotel.
