Moammar Gadhafi may have fled Tripoli and a top Catholic official in that city reports that the Libyan strongman has been hurt, the Italian foreign minister said Friday.
Franco Frattini quoted Tripoli's bishop as saying Mr. Gadhafi is “probably wounded.”
“There are a lot of very different hypotheses out there,” including that offered by Archbishop Giovanni Martinelli, Mr. Frattini told Sky TG 24 TV on the sidelines of a conference in Tuscany.
“I don't know if that is so. I said it seemed to me to be a credible hypothesis.
“Certainly, it's impossible to have confirmation,” he said.
