Muammar Gaddafi fled on golf cart through tunnel? Gaddafi convoy spotted near Algeria ~ Technology Update

Libyan leader Muammar Gaddafi may have fled on a golf buggy through a network of tunnels under his palatial building in Tripoli, a media report said Friday.

The Libyan strongman's secret maze, buried beneath his palace, was discovered as jubilant rebel fighters stormed into the capital, The Sun reported

Rebels believe Gaddafi raced away through the underground tunnels just before they entered his sprawling compound.

One golf buggy was found smashed against a wall of the tunnel, which is believed to have secret exits all over Tripoli.

Gaddafi reportedly entered through a hatch, one of which was found by the rebels.

The concrete tunnels reportedly also housed an Olympic-sized swimming pool and a garage full of luxury cars

Gaddafi convoy spotted near Algeria

Six armoured vehicles, thought to be carrying Libyan leader Muammar Gaddafi and his sons, have crossed the Libya-Algeria border, Egypt's official news agency MENA reported on Saturday.

Libyan military sources said the Mercedes bullet-proof cars left Libya for Algeria through the

border, without any pursuit from the rebels. The vehicles may have also carried other important Libyan officials.

An Algerian border official said the reported crossing was unlikely as no such sighting had been reported by local residents.

Nato declined to confirm or deny the reported crossing.

The Sun earlier reported that Gaddafi may have fled on a golf buggy through a network of tunnels under his palatial building in Tripoli.

However, Mustafa Abdel Jalil, chairman of the rebel National Transitional Council, said they have no concrete information on the location of Gaddafi or his sons

Rebels take Ras Jdir border post
Rebels captured the Ras Jdir border post on the frontier with Tunisia, which it was feared Gaddafi might use to escape, as the hunt for the fugitive strongman continued on Saturday.

While fighting was still under way on various fronts, with the insurgents working to consolidate their hold on Tripoli, focus increasingly turned to a post-Gaddafi era, with calls for reconciliation and a peaceful transition. The rebels claimed late on Friday a new military success with the capture of Ras Jdir.

A Tunisian official said loyalists fled as more than 100 rebels arrived and raised their flag.

Algeria

declined to recognise the NTC on Friday insisting it would adhere to the policy of "strict neutrality" adopted since the start of the conflict.

A foreign ministry statement sent to AFP was the first official comment from Algiers since the NTC took control of the capital in Libya, even as other countries in the region have been quick to endorse the rebels.
