we have seen rebel forces fighting in the area and being unable to capture this leader now two months as you mentioned to the day that they had tripoli -- that tripoli fell to rebel forces. they have captured their leader -- again, the president, moammar qaddafi. >> saddam hussein i think was it two, three, four, five months, something like that, it took the united states a long time to ferret him out and i'm sure that qaddafi had a lot of sympathizers in the country after ruling there for some 42 years. but he has been captured. he was wounded during the fight as grace mentioned, wounded in both legs on his way to the hospital. these are live pictures right now in the general area where qaddafi was captured. as we mentioned in custody on his way to the hospital. >> pretty amazing. what we're also hearing is that nato was involved and has been involved in helping these rebels for the past few

deposed libyan leader moammr gadhafi has been captured in back to breaking news. libyan television is reporting this morning that libyan leader moammar qaddafi has been captured in sirte. however, we do not have this confirmed. neither the pentagon nor the white house has come out to confirm the capture of qaddafi just yet. we are getting conflicting information. a national transitional council military spokesman reports of qaddafi's capture and says they are only rumors and added that it's doubtful that qaddafi was even in or around his hometown of sirte. cbs is working to confirm whether this information is true and as soon as we learn if this rumor is true or not, we'll bring it to you live. in the meantime u.s. secretary of state hillary clinton is calling for a three- way partnership between the u.s., afghanistan and pakistan. the goal is to fight insurgents and bring them back into society, those fighters who are willing to accept clear guidelines. clinton made the announcement

today at kabul at a news conference with afghan president hamid karzai. thousands of protesters are in the streets of athens the second day of a general strike in greece. today the greek parliament is expected to vote on more austerity measures. greece's international debt inspectors are warning today that a second bailout for the country that was tentatively agreed on in july does not make its massive debt sustainable. just in time for the holiday season airfares are moving up. earlier this week delta was the first to announce increases of between $4 to $10 on most domestic roundtrip tickets. this is the first widespread price hike since the summer. american airlines recently reported $162 million loss and i was looking at tickets to get back east for my wife and i for the holidays. >> did you buy? >> no! they were like $700 roundtrip and it's usually between 350

and 5. so pays to shop around a bit. >> now what's free? the weather report. >> that's right. >> he works for peanuts. >> i think he should stay for the holiday week. >> i'd like to, believe me. >> probably not going to get the time off anyway. >> thanks, lawrence. >> you're welcome. patchy fog around the bay area this morning to start out your day but it's going to clear out in most spots today. foggy toward the coastline, low clouds inside the bay. patchy fog as you make your way to the interior valleys. temperatures cool in spots but i think by the afternoon, we're looking good. plan on mid-70s in the warmest spots inland, a lot of 60s inside the bay, 70s inside the santa clara valley and patchy fog at the beaches. low clouds and fog not as extensive as yesterday but filled into the bay well here. in some of the valleys a quarter mile visibility into santa rosa.

temperatures warm up nicely this weekend. so computer models picking up on the fog this morning should pull back to the coast leaving lots of sunshine toward the afternoon. really great weather outside. east bay temperatures into the 70s. east bay patchy fog. temperatures there mainly into the 60s. next couple of days we'll see changes in the works tomorrow maybe a little warmer but the weekend is looking fantastic now. get out there and enjoy. temperatures in the 80s, hick couple monday, but temperatures warm up monday and tuesday. >> fantastic weekend. >> we have issues in trafficland. elizabeth, what's cooking? >> our problems involve chickens this morning.

you heard that right. vacaville big rig carrying a load of live chickens jackknifed and it's blocking the freeway. westbound 80 approaching lagoon valley road where the accident is. slowing on our sensors behind it. they expect it to be cleared at noon or later. so consider using the frontage road and get back on the freeway using north texas. for right now no need to use the alternate because it's still early but they expect the closure to be out there partial closure to be out there for a while. okay. just getting word of new delays for bart now out of downtown oakland in the sfo and millbrae directions. there is a person on the tracks at the west oakland station so right now there are about 15- to 20-minute delays again in the san francisco direction from downtown oakland. they do hope to have this problem resolved here very shortly and we will let you know as soon as they do. in the meantime back outside here's a live look at the golden gate bridge. and traffic from marin is

looking great heading into the city. we'll have more traffic in a bit. back to you guys. >> thank you. the fda has announced yet another food recall. taylor farms is warning that more than 3200 cases of various salad blends may be contaminated with salmonella. the products were sold in supermarkets across the u.s. including here in california. no illness has been reported in connection to these products but customers who purchased them are urged to throw them out. and some new guidelines on cervical cancer screening could mean fewer trips to the doctor's office. yearly pap tests used to be recommended for all women to check for any precancerous or cancerous cells but leading experts now say healthy women can get screened every three years. >> the more often you do a test, there is a higher chance you will come up with what we call a false positive. false positive test can be harmful because they may lead a woman down a pathway for

further diagnostic procedures. >> and overtreatment is an especially big concern in women who plan to have children because diagnostic procedures can damage parts of the cervix. the new guidelines swaim should begin the screenings -- say women should begin the screenings over 50 and healthy women don't need any testing we are following reports that moammar qaddafi has been captured in libya. the white house not confirming that just yet. we'll have the latest. i don't remember getting out the truck. next thing i know couple hundred feet away and god bless my guardian angel. >> he was pulled from a fiery crash. we are going to hear from the man who was moments from death in a story only on cbs 5. and a shootout at a public housing complex between three security guards. one man on the loose considered armed and dangerous. we have the latest from richmond coming up. ,,,,,,
