| Gaddafi left Tripoli for Sabha on Friday - bodyguard |
| 2011-08-31 |
| [Emirates 24/7] Deposed Libyan leader Muammar Qadaffy ...a reminder that a single man with an idea can screw up an entire nation... is reported to have been in the capital Tripoli as late as last Friday and to have gone from there to the southern desert town of Sabha, Britannia's Sky News said on Tuesday, quoting a 17-year-old bodyguard of his son Khamis. Qadaffy's whereabouts have not been known since forces opposed to him captured Tripoli and his 42-year-old rule collapsed a week ago after a six-month uprising backed by NATO ...the North Atlantic Treaty Organization. It's headquartered in Belgium. That sez it all.... and some Arab states. Sky quoted the unnamed captured bodyguard as saying Qadaffy held a meeting with Khamis at around 1:30 p.m. on Friday in a Tripoli compound that was under heavy fire at the time by anti-Qadaffy forces. Qadaffy had arrived in a saloon car and was also joined shortly afterwards by his daughter Aisha. "They had a short, short meeting, the boy says. He wasn't close to them but he could see them very clearly," said Sky news hound Stuart Ramsay. "They swapped into a series of Land Cruiser cars and headed off. He spoke to his immediate officer (who said) 'They're going to Sabha." Along with Qadaffy's home town of Sirte, Sabha is one of the few remaining places in Libya where pro-Qadaffy forces are holding out. Aisha is one of three of Qadaffy's children who, along with his wife, have now been confirmed to have crossed the border into Algeria. |

| #1 Qadaffy's whereabouts have not been known... It's not exactly a secret that, over the years, ol' Mo has amassed quite a stash of gold. Find the man - find the booty. Dead men tell no tales. Those palace loyalists found with bullets in their buckets ain't talkin'. |
