Where is Gaddafi?

From the Telegraph:
Last night the fighters captured his sons Mohammed, Saif and Saadi. The National Transitional Council is in negotiations to hand Saif over to the International Criminal Court.

Gaddafi is also wanted by the ICC for crimes against humanity - but David Cameron told reporters this morning there is "no confirmation" of Gaddafi's whereabouts.

British military intelligence - and in particular GCHQ, the signals intelligence agency - is understood to be monitoring his communications systems.

The dictator of almost 42 years was last heard by the outside world making a series of desperate radio broadcasts, calling on the women of Tripoli to defend their city against the rebels.

Libyan Prime Minister Al Baghdadi Ali al-Mahmoudi and the head of the country's television union, Abdallah Mansour, have escaped to the Tunisian island of Djerba.

The most likely scenario, according to diplomats, is that he is holed up in his Al Azizya compound. Heavy fighting has been heard around the complex, which houses the Colonel's tents, bunkers, command centres and villa. This morning shortly before 7am a tank emerged. One of his sons, Mutassim, was reported to be there this lunchtime.

  1. The heck with international criminal court. Why not emphasize their own national sovereignty and legal system..?
