Colonel Qaddafi Secretly Moved $4.8 Billion Of His Own Money To London Last Week
Despite claims that he would fight to the death on Libyan soil, Muammar el-Qaddafi transferred $4.8 billion of his personal holdings to London's Mayfair private wealth manager last week, according to The Times (via @sultanalqassemi).
The secret transfer was identified by the UK Treasury, which has said it will freeze all Qaddafi family assets in the country -- which already equaled around $32 billion.

Rebel army may be formed as Tripoli fails to oust Gaddafi
Army leaders in eastern Libya who have turned against Col. Moammar Gaddafi's regime are preparing to dispatch a rebel force to Tripoli to support the beleaguered uprising there, a top military official said Saturday in Benghazi.
Brig. Gen. Ahmed Gatrani said a small force comprising army defectors and rebels has already reached the outskirts of the capital, where an attempt to oust Gaddafi on Friday was crushed by pro-regime paramilitaries and soldiers firing indiscriminately at protesters on the streets.

Gaddafi forces abandon parts of Tripoli
World powers struggled to find a way to stop Libyan leader Muammer Gaddafi lashing out at his people as he clings to power in Tripoli, the last big city where an uprising against his rule has yet to take hold.
President Barack Obama signed an order prohibiting transactions related to Libya and blocking property, the first major step to isolate the North African leader, who has used army, police and irregular forces to try to crush the protests.

Gaddafi-Tochter in Wien?
Wie ein Lauffeuer ging Freitag Nacht in Sicherheitskreisen ein Gerücht um: Gaddafis-Tochter Aisha sei in Wien gelandet und habe im Hotel Imperial eingecheckt. Mutter Safiya solle sich sogar seit mehreren Tagen in dem Grandhotel aufhalten.
Gregor Schütze, Sprecher von Innenministerin Maria Fekter, erklärte, man habe keine Informationen über eine Einreise der Tochter des Diktators, und im Imperial sei sie sicher nicht.
Von Seiten des Verfassungsschutzes wurde sogar betont, dass sich kein Mitglied des Clans in Wien aufhalte. Auch unter Exil-Libyern in Wien breitete sich die Nachricht aus. Diese versammelten sich sofort zu einer Demo vor dem Hotel. Etwa 15 kamen.
