Reuters quotes Hisham Buhagiar, who is coordinating the Transitional National Council's hunt for Qaddafi, as saying reports indcate he may have been in the region of the southern village of Ghwat, some 300km (186 miles) north of the border with Niger . . . three days ago.
I'm no expert on the Libyan highway system, but if he is travelling by car, as all reports indicate, then it doesn't seem unresasonable for him to make the 186 miles in three days. Even if he is travelling with children who need to stop for the bathroom every hour, or can't resist the Cinnabon just off the highway, it seems possible that he could have made it to the border.
Of course, Qaddafi's spokesmen confidently told Reuters "He is in Libya. He is safe, he is very healthy, in high morale." Of course, Moussa Ibrahim made this statement by telephone from an undisclosed location.
