It’s one of the last areas that has not fallen to rebel forces. But it’s hardly the last bastion of support for the deposed leader. On a busy afternoon in the market in the southern Tripoli neighborhood of Abu Salim, it doesn’t take long for a man to approach a visiting reporter and say under his breath, ‘You know, we all support Gadhafi here'” (Lourdes Garcia-Navarro, “Gadhafi May Be Hard To Find, But Not His Supporters,” NPR, 6 October 2011).
