TRIPOLI - Tripoli struggled with collapsing water and power supplies on Saturday as rebels now in control of most of the Libyan capital vowed to take Muammar Qadhafi's home town by force if negotiations failed.
More evidence emerged of summary killings during the battle for Tripoli, which erupted a week ago.
A correspondent for Britain's Sky News said he had counted about 53 bodies left in a burned-out warehouse, where they were apparently executed earlier this week.
"It is a scene of mass murder," Stuart Ramsay said at the scene, quoting witnesses as saying 150 people were killed there on 23 and 24 August as rebel fighters fought pro-Qadhafi forces.
A local resident told Sky the victims were mostly civilians and had been killed by Qadhafi's forces.
