They went for cover. Anton Hammerl from South Africa was shot in the abdomen.
They ran to the bushes for cover and yelled that they were journalist. The forces stopped firing for a while.
The 4 were taken prisoner. Hammerl died and they left his body on the ground.
While being held captive they were treated well and had plenty of food. At one point they were in a villa of one of the Generals of the army.
At one point they were held in a detention center in Tripoli. There they were interrogated about what they were doing.
At one point a news station said that Gills was an American CIA agent trying to help the rebel forces. They took her Pass Port and showed it on TV. It was later given back to her.
While in the detention center Gills said that they could feel the NATO air strikes.  
They also said that they made frequent visits to a court house where they were told that their case was under review and would be released soon. This left them even more confused.

Rebel's Money Crises

With their government killing it's people, the last thing the rebel force in Libya wants to worry about is running out of money.However it is looking like they will be running out of it in 4-5 weeks.They are coming to realize how much it cost to run areas that they are have taken control over. It is costing them 100 million dollars a day to supply and run these areas.
The rebels know that they will not be able to get the money on their own so they are looking to get help. They are meeting with many nations to discuss getting loans from France, Italy, United States and many other nations around the world. The meeting is set to take place tomorrow in Rome Italy. The rebels hope to get 1.5 billion dollars to cover the cost that are needed right away. This money would go towards food, and medical supplies to help with the constant flow of injured people.
While they are meeting about money it is not expected that the rebels will leave with money right away. Italian Foreign Ministry spokesman said this about the meeting "This is not a pledging conference. There will not be an envelope." The purpose of this meeting is to set up a principle if possible.
