9:53 pm: There are no details yet on what Gaddafi might say. That it's Muammar Gaddafi to speak, rather than his son Saif al-Islam who did so last night, suggests this could be an important announcement.
9.41pm: OK. This is potentially big news. Al Arabiya is reporting that a speech by Gaddafi is imminent. We'll keep you updated on that.
The airforce has been bombing/strafing (according to different reports) Tripoli, and firing salvos by sea. Some military have joined in the insurrection, and the largest tribe in the south has joined them. Nothing from the White House as of an hour ago. Info by phone has been alarmingly frightening.
