TRIPOLI - Bursts of gunfire rang out near the Corinthia Hotel in central Tripoli late on Wednesday and a column of smoke rose from the direction of the shooting, a Reuters correspondent at the hotel said.

Earlier, a group of heavily armed rebels arrived at the hotel, saying they had heard Muammar Gaddafi's son Saadi was inside and that they would search every room for him.

A Reuters reporter saw about half a dozen rebels arrive in the hotel forecourt in a truck mounted with an anti-aircraft gun. The men ran into the hotel and blocked off access to the elevators as they prepared to search the building room by room.
