Sky News is reporting that a former bodyguard of one of Muammar Gaddafi's sons says Gaddafi is heading south towards Sabha, a route also said to have been used by the members of Gaddafi's family who made it to Algeria. Gaddafi is said to have gone via Bani Walid. Gaddafi held a meeting in Tripoli on Friday before heading off, the bodyguard claims.
This map (above) shows the possible route he may have taken.
