Where is Colonel Gaddafi...

The vanquished dictator becomes the world's most wanted fugitive, he may find one thing to his liking – the longer he can remain free, the more a legend will once again spring around him.

"As we saw with Saddam Hussein, Osama bin Laden, (Radovan) Karadzic and (Ratko) Mladic, the longer it takes, the more chance they have of being spirited away to a place which is much more difficult to find,"

So how will Gaddafi stay on the run?

One likely solution will be to travel light – avoiding armoured or large convoys, or large bodyguard details that can be seen by drone planes. He will also steer clear of phones, for fear that his voice patterns could be detected by Western intelligence agencies' eavesdropping equipment.

As well as having millions of dollars in private cash reserves, he is also believed to have pilfered part of Libya's gold reserves to pay for his protection, according to claims last week by his former central bank governor, Farhat Bengdara.

Like Saddam Hussein, who was eventually found living on the outskirts of a peasant village near his home city of Tikrit, it is thought he may too try to return to his tribal roots, heading either for his coastal birthplace of Sirte, or the shabby desert town of Sabha, deep in the Sahara, where he was schooled.

Equally, Gaddafi might head to the Libya's desert south, a landscape of bare, lunar mountains and vast sand dunes which ranks as some of the remotest, emptiest territory on the planet, and may also host various purpose-built hideouts. An area the size of France, the region's lack of roads, searing temperatures and regular sand storms would make any prolonged manhunt a major logistical challenge.

However, businessmen from Benghazi have offered a bounty of two million Libyan dinars (£1.03 million) for Gaddafi's capture, a sum that could well tempt local tribes to turn bounty hunter.

But even if Gaddafi were to escape this way, few other countries would accept him.

Early on Saturday the Egyptian press agency reported that a convoy of six armoured Mercedes had crossed into Algeria from the southern border town of Ghadames, amid frenzied speculation that the cars could contain the Gaddafis.

One other possible refuge would be Zimbabwe, another non-signatory to the court, and on Saturday there were yet more wild rumours that he had fled in the dead of night to a suburb of Harare.
