Report: Qaddafi and Two Sons Have Run Away Fled Libya
2011-08-21
Tension have been mounting in Libya today, with rebel forces encircling the capital Tripoli, causing Qaddafi to lose his grip, according to the New York Times.

Now the rumors are turning into reports. NBC New Chief Foreign Correspondent Richard Engel tweeted: "BREAKING: Libyan TV reporting Qaddafi has fled with two sons."

Engel also added: "odd no reports of seif having fled, only hanibam was moatasim," in reference to his sons. Other reports on Twitter are that Qaddafi left "aboard a private aircraft with two of his sons."

Get back to us when its confirmed by someone we trust.

Uganda? Nobody takes a bribe like an African. Mildew on the wall and fat people with their sweaty hand out. BUT the monkey stew is delicious.
