Rebels were working today to get the Libyan capital up and running again as calm prevailed for a second day, despite sporadic gunfire overnight and thegruesome find of piles of charred bodies. As rebel officials pleaded for funds, the Arab League at a special meeting in Cairo early today urged the UN security Council to unlock billions of dollars in Libyan assets and property. 

Several explosions and machine-gun fire rattled Tripoli overnight, but it was unclear if those responsible were fighters loyal to Muammar Gaddafi or rebels celebrating the takeover of the capital a week ago.
