Latest on plans to march to Tripoli

Brigadier General Ahmed Qatrani, tasked with organising rebel forces in Benghazi, says there are no plans yet to march on the capital. "Tripoli is being held hostage. We are in touch with them, but they asked us to hold back," he told reporters. But he said some soldiers and civilians have volunteered to go to Tripoli by desert routes after receiving training around Benghazi. "They are moving their experience to Tripoli," he said. Organisers say communications with the volunteers have been sporadic, and they have received conflicting reports about their whereabouts. One, Motaz Suleiman, said pro-Kadhafi gunmen had killed 18 unarmed volunteers captured near Sirte, but there is no way to independently confirm his claims. Others say volunteers have successfully made it to Tripoli, about 1,000 west of Benghazi
