FILE – In this Friday, Aug. 26, 2011 file photo, a Libyan walks inside the Abu Salim prison in Tripoli, Libya. For decades, Libyans knew Tripoli’s Abu Salim prison as one of the darkest tools of Moammar Gadhafi’s regime: A hulking lockup where perceived threats to his absolute rule were confined or tortured, or where they simply disappeared. That changed when neighbors stormed the prison this week, using rocks and metal bars to smash the locks off cell doors and freeing thousands of prisoners. The swift fall of Abu Salim ends a dark chapter in Libya’s history and shows how little remains of Gadhafi’s control. (AP Photo/Sergey Ponomarev, File)
