Rebels 'have Gaddafi surrounded'

Libyan rebels say they know where former leader Muammar Gaddafi is hiding, and it is only a matter of time until he is captured or killed.

Libyan rebels say they know where former leader Muammar Gaddafi is hiding, and it is only a matter of time until he is captured or killed.

Spokesman Anis Sharif said Gaddafi was still in Libya, and had been tracked using human intelligence and technology .

He refused to say where he was, but said he was trapped in a 40-mile- radius area surrounded by rebels.

"He can't get out," Mr Sharif said, adding that the rebels were preparing to either detain him or kill him.

Locating Gaddafi would help seal the new rulers' hold on the country.

Convoys of Gaddafi loyalists fled across the Sahara into Niger earlier this week.
