Four New York Times journalists detained in Libya have been released to the Turkish embassy in Tripoli.<\/p>\n

The four were detained last week by Libyan leader Col Muammar Gaddafi’s forces after entering rebel-held territory without visas, the Times said.<\/p>\n

They included reporters Anthony Shadid and Stephen Farrell and photographers Tyler Hicks and Lynsey Addario.<\/p>\n

Turkish diplomats were escorting them out of the country, the newspaper said.<\/p>\n

Col Gaddafi has been fighting a rebellion that broke out last month.<\/p>\n

The four journalists were covering the conflict between forces loyal to Col Gaddafi and rebel forces in the eastern city of Ajdabiya.<\/p>\n

The US, UK, France and other countries are continuing strikes on Col Gaddafi’s forces after the UN authorised action to protect Libyan civilians.<\/p>\n

US and UK officials say Col Gaddafi himself is not a target of the air strikes, which they insist are aimed at his troops and air defence systems.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p>\n
