Gaddafi hides in hospitals to dodge NATO attacks

Muammar Gaddafi has responded to intensified NATO bombing of the Libyan capital by seeking sanctuary at night in hospitals he knows will not be bombed.

Muammar Gaddafi has responded to intensified NATO bombing of the Libyan capital by seeking sanctuary at night in hospitals he knows will not be bombed,according to a British official accompanying Prime Minister David Cameron to a summit meeting in Deauville,France.

The officials account of Gaddafis movements,given on a background basis to British reporters,was quoted in the Friday editions of The Guardian and The Daily Telegraph.

In the Guardian report,the official was quoted as saying British intelligence had told Cameron that Gaddafi was increasingly paranoid,on the run,and hiding in hospitals by night, with senior Libyan military commanders unable to communicate with each other because of a concern that NATO can tap their phones.

The Telegraph quoted the British official as saying,One quite striking thing is the fact that Gaddafi appears to be moving from hospital to hospital. What he is doing is moving from one place we wont bomb to another place we wont bomb.
