| 100. Gaddafi family members to be evacuated from Tunisia on board Venezuelan plane |
|
Edited on Fri Aug-19-11 10:20 AM by tabatha
TUNIS, Aug. 19 (Xinhua) -- A Venezuelan plane has landed on the island of Djerba to evacuate members of Libyan leader Muammar Gaddafi's family, Tunisian radio, Mosaique FM, reported on Friday. The news was announced by the radio's correspondent on the Tunisia- Libyan border. The correspondent, quoting a rebel source in Libya's eastern city of Benghazi, said that Gaddafi's family members would soon leave Tunisia for the Venezuelan capital Caracas, adding that "it was the beginning of the end of Gaddafi's rule." It is not clear how they would be evacuated to Tunisia. The source also said that it was highly likely that Gaddafi himself is no longer in the Libyan capital Tripoli, following overnight NATO strikes against his residential compound. http://news.xinhuanet.com/english2010/world/2011-08/19/... ADDED: "TNC Abdul Jalil confirms that gaddafi has transfered millions in gold, cash and other valuables to Brazil, South Africa and Venezuela" |
