Ex-Saddam tracker: Gaddafi not likely to leave Libya

None

A former senior US army officer who helped lead the hunt for Saddam Hussein believes Muammar Gaddafi will be caught as long as those pursuing him use local intelligence and zero in on his closest bodyguards.

 

Speaking before news emerged that a convoy of Libyan army vehicles had crossed into Niger carrying senior pro-Gaddafi figures, retired Lieutenant-Colonel Steve Russell said Gaddafi had traits similar to Saddam and other ego-driven autocrats that made him likely to rely on a small network of ultra-loyalists.
