The new leaders of Libya have said they will soon capture or kill fleeing former dictator, Muammar Gaddafi.

A spokesman for Libya’s National Transitional Council, Anis Sharif, who gave the assurance on Wednesday in Tripoli, did not say where Gaddafi had been found.

He, however, said he was still in Libya and had been tracked using high technology and human intelligence. Gaddafi is trapped in a 60km radius area surrounded by fighters loyal to the NTC, he said.

“He can‘t get out,” said Sharif, who added the former rebels are preparing to either detain him or kill him.

Locating Gaddafi would help seal the new rulers‘ hold on the country. The announcement after convoys of Gaddafi loyalists, including his security chief, fled across the Sahara into Niger in a move that Libya‘s former rebels hoped could help lead to the surrender of his last strongholds.
