Hunt for Gaddafi

THE hunt for Colonel Muammar Gaddafi intensified last night, with allied special forces thought to be involved in trying to pinpoint the fugitive dictator's hideout.

The Libyan leader’s heavily protected Bab al Aziziya headquarters in western Tripoli, was the latest target for the rebel leaders, who now control around 80% of the city, including the airport.

Gaddafi’s tanks and gunmen appeared to hold only small areas, including his headquarters compound.
