Gaddafi 'Fled Tripoli And Headed South'
8:30pm UK, Tuesday August 30, 2011
Colonel Muammar Gaddafi was last seen heading south of Tripoli after holding meetings in the capital on Friday, the bodyguard of one of his sons tells Sky News.
The 17-year-old - part of Khamis Gaddafi's protection team - told Sky's chief correspondent Stuart Ramsay he saw the former dictator at his youngest son's compound at the end of last week.
Col Gaddafi arrived in a car and met Khamis and his daughter Aisha before heading in convoy towards Sabha, said the bodyguard Abdu Salam Ataher-Ali.
He also confirmed earlier reports by rebel commanders that Khamis had been killed in an air strike about 37 miles (60km) from Tripoli.
Ramsay said the bodyguard claimed Khamis died when his armoured Toyota Land Cruiser was hit by a missile, which was apparently launched from a Nato helicopter.
Nato says it has "no information" on Col Gaddafi's son.
Khamis, who has been reported dead on a number of occasions during the six-month uprising, is one of the most feared members of the regime.
