Possible that Qaddafi Injured

The Italian foreign minister has posited an interesting theory today. Franco Frattini has speculated that Qaddafi was injured in one of the recent NATO airstrikes and is likely not even in the capital of Tripoli.

He added that he believed that footage of Qaddafi with tribal leaders that aired yesterday on Libyan state television was likely recorded earlier.

"I tend to give credence to the comment of the bishop of Tripoli, Monsignor Martinelli, who has been in close contact over recent weeks, when he told us that Gaddafi is very probably outside Tripoli and is probably also wounded. We don't know where or how," Frattini said.

Naturally the Libyans deny:

"It's nonsense," Libyan government spokesman Mussa Ibrahim said in Tripoli. "The leader is in high morale. He's in good spirits. He is leading the country day by day. He hasn't been harmed at all."

He could also be dead. Who knows?
