Sun Aug 21, 2011 4:37pm EDT
LONDON (Reuters) - Crowds of ecstatic Libyans greeted the advancing rebel army in the capital Tripoli on Sunday, Britain's Sky news reported, saying opposition forces were now about eight kilometers from the center of the besieged city.
Sky's live footage from Tripoli showed hundreds of people pouring into the streets, shooting in the air in jubilation and shouting "God is greatest" as the rebel convoy of pickup trucks advanced fast toward the city center.
Children could be seen jumping in joy as others hugged and chanted slogans.
The Sky reporter accompanying the rebels said there were no signs of resistance from forces loyal to veteran leader Muammar Gaddafi.
