    Oh, yes his compound, and east there is a hotel held by Gaddafi Loyalists where many International reporters are held.
    Sirte, Gateway to Tunisia from Libya, all held by Gaddafi forces.

    Just a question since I'm to lazy to look at the news, has anyone found out where he is at all?

    Nobody knows, he could be in Chad, or Sirte, or in his compound in Tripoli.

    We should just call in Seal Team 6. They seem to get the job done.

    Oh. Then let's just call in the A team or a merc to go blow stuff up and then use a nuclear bunker buster, like in Mercenaries 2. It worked in fictional war-torn Venesuala.

    Maybe you all are just fucking dumb, but like I have been saying, Gaddhafi has said he will not surrender or flee. He's probably just gonna stay on the run in Libya, as I doubt the Tunisian Revolutionary Government will accept him, and he has supported Chadian Civil Wars and rebellions, so they won't except him, and I doubt he would be able to reach Egypt, and even if he did, the Egyptians have been supporting the NTC. They will catch him, and hang him.

    Well not the ones that got Osama but I think Mossad could do a better job as they have experience in kidnapping war criminals.

    I didn't think they were members of st6, for the record though, each seal team has maybe 120 + operators so they're certainly not all dead.

    fighting continues in Tripoli. only three parts of the city are still held by the loyalists, a hospital, the hotel the news teams from other country's are held and Gaddafi's main compound. the freedom fighters are making head way as time goes on with hundreds more streaming into the city to help fight and even more of the cities citizens taking up arms to fight the loyalists

    They should take the hospital, reserve it for the brave men and innocent who've been injured.

    a number of tanks that were deployed from Gaddafi's strong hold have counter attacked and pushed the freedom fighters out from the area around the hotel reporters are being held in. saying to the reporters "Tripoli is under our control"

    do you think the Gaddafi family believe what they are saying or are they in just denial?
