[Updated 9:09 a.m. ET, 3:09 p.m. in Libya] CNN's Sara Sidner reports that residents are fleeing Tripoli in numbers she has not seen before. "It is very very dangerous in the capital right now," Sidner said. Renewed fighting and fresh battles continued around and near the Gadhafi compound in Tripoli. "There are  no signs this is going to end any time soon," Sidner said as heavy fire and explosions could be heard in the background. Pictures of the skyline of Tripoli showed the compound with smoke billowing around it.
