Libya: Col Gaddafi's Wife And Daughter 'Flee Libya'
Source: TELEGRAPH UK

By Andrew Gilligan, Tripoli 9:17PM BST 18 May 2011

Safiya Gaddafi and her daughter Aisha crossed into Tunisia "a few days ago" with a Libyan delegation, according to Tunisian security sources.

The pair are currently at a refugee centre on the island of Djerba. The departure, if confirmed, would be a major blow to Col Gaddafi's embattled regime, already rocked by the apparent defection of the key oil minister, Shukri Ghanem, on Tuesday.

Dozens of high-ranking Gaddafi officials, including ministers and ambassadors, have left the country or abandoned the regime since the uprising began, including the interior minister, Abdel-Fatah Younes al-Obeidi, Ali Abdussalam el-Treki, a former foreign minister and a former United Nations ambassador who had worked closely with Col Gaddafi for decades, and his former justice minister, Mustafa Abdul-Jalil, who is now the head of the rebel Transitional National Council.

Arab newspapers claimed on Tuesday that Gaddafi’s eldest son, Muhammed Muammar Gaddafi, had also left the country for “medical treatment” in Tunisia, along with other officials including the head of the customs agency and the country’s representative to the Arab League.

2. Discord in the Middle East
seem to be the goal of our government.The hate and fear of the American citizens that's generated by the media is pure evil.The lies that inflame the average person in this country is akin to screaming FIRE in a packed theater.
