He has not appeared in public or on video in several months, but only in audio tapes. He claims that he is still in Libya and that he will never leave the land of his birth.
Libyan forces now in control of 90% of the country have put out conflicting reports: that they have him surrounded or that they don't know where he is.
Gaddafi is such a liar and such a manipulator -- but also such a megalomaniac that I think anything is possible. So my guess is that either:
(1) He escaped Libya months ago and is living well in another country, probably one that does not have treaties of extradition so that he can live out his life comfortably in exile. His family members who recently crossed over into Algeria will eventually join him there.
Or:
(2) That he intends to become a martyr and provoke a last-ditch battlefield assassination.
My hunch is #1 because I think ultimately he is more of a coward than a martyr.
