the bbc says he fled to algeria. as we pointed out, the colonel is wanted for crimes against humanny by the international criminal court. algeria may have been selected by him for the following reason: they were a signatory to the icc but never ratified it, so they don't have to hand him over to the haig, facing the death penalty. >> heather: he was on the phone a short time ago speaking to the libyan people asking them to pick up arms and continue to fight for him and asking how could you allow this to happen? how could you allow this to happen to him? apparently after four decades of his regime, crumbling and coming to an end, as we speak, right now. a historic day. joining us on the phone walid phares middle east analyst. we are getting statements coming from nato. their take on what is happening. calling for gadhafi to realize that the end is here. and to peacefully step aside. what do you think the chances are that will happen? >> well, from the way tripoli collapsed, as i'm learning right now, it was a commande

algeria giving shelter to part of gaddafi's family. all this does not bode well for relations between the two countries, does it? >> no. algeria has not recognized the national transitional council. it had very close relations with gaddafi. the rebel leaders have couched their criticism in fairly soft words today. the deputy prime minister has called for cooperation from the algerians and returning people for robbing and oppressing the libyan people for 42 years. it is an issue. it is not with the new government wants. >> martin fletcher, reporting from tripoli. thank you very much. the white house has slapped new sanctions on syria and has banned americans from doing business with the president and foreign minister. a washington has frozen the assets of the three men. in syria, there are more reports of troops firing on protesters who are against the regime. >> they are singing for a new syria. ramadan and the days of fasting are over. the people here are still hungry for freedom. this internet footage was reportedly shot and a centra

more than likely, it would be algeria. algeria would be problematic. they have great relations there and algeria would export him to the world court. zimbabwe would be the most troublesome. that's where a couple of dictators called home and they would be one to ignore the cries it release qaddafi. >> he could head to italy, where the former prime minister went when he decided to defect. >> speaking of prime ministers, you'll see the exterior of 10 downing street where we're waiting for a statement by david cameron on the libyan situation. we should point out, of those many scenarios that brian just depicted, there are some reports out there that, perhaps, qaddafi was seen as part of a seven vehicle caravan headed towards algeria. all we know for sure is he did appear on state-run television yesterday pleading with his people, grab a gun, do whatever you can, get out in the streets and save our country. that's what he said yesterday. in the meantime, his many security forces, a lot of them simply took off their uniforms and tried to melt into the crowd.

there are concerns that key members of colonel gaddafi's family have arrived in algeria. gaddafi is still at large and they are now within 20 miles or so of the last stronghold, his hometown of certain. we have this report. >> after many days of deadlock on the road to surge, the rebels are now searching ahead. behind them? towns and people getting their first taste of freedom in a generation. he remembers the bad food, the beatings, the murders of other prisoners. >> you know, i did not see my kids, my wife. you cannot imagine it. can you? >> his son died fighting for the revolution of the days ago. a high price, but necessary, he says. and officers medellin uniform discarded by gaddafi loyalists in flight. it is not complete. colonel gaddafi is still at large and places like circuit are still loyal to him. -- like cirte are still loyal. there have been conversations with tribal elders in sirte. >> one of the gaddafi people who said to take his family out. >> almost euphoric levels of confidence. negotiations have again failed to release a heandover of sirte. the rebels

his family escaped to algeria. >> this was his wife, his daughter, two of his sons, they went to algeria, a neighboring country, in a motorcade of six vehicles. just after they got there, colonel gaddafi's daughter gave birth to a baby girl. what is interesting about that is that they were able to in a very conspicuous way to drive across quite a broad swathe of a very large country, which says to me that the rebels will not be able to declare themselves masters in their land until they cannot allow that kind of thing to happen. while the rebels to certainly have tripoli and other places, it is definitely not over. >> jeremy, thanks very much. in syria meanwhile, activists say at least seven people have been shot dead by security forces. the violence came during station -- during demonstrations held after prayer at the end of the holy month of ramadan, and on the same day that a report by amnesty international claims that 80 people have died in detention during the last four months, with torture widely used. you may find some of these images disturbing. [people chanting] >> despite the d

can they stay legally in algeria? i know, leaders in the rebel movement certainly want them back in libya. how does that work? >> caller: well, algeria at this point is looking unlikely to return them to the ntc. the rebels transitional national council. which has requested that algeria extradite them. algeria had good relations with gadhafi, it's been towing the african union's refusal to recognize the council as legitimate government in libya. algeria may prove to be a viable safe-haven for the gadhafi family. there are a number of other countries that gadhafi kept good relations with and they could be transferred there. >> could anyone intervene and force them out, force them back home? >> caller: i'm sorry, i didn't hear that. >> could anyone intervene and force them to return home? >> caller: that's unclear at this point. i mean, there could be united nations pressure or pressure from one of algeria's allies. which include the united states. but, again, the most sought avatar gets are going to be moammar gadhafi

. >> so, nic, other members of the gadhafi family have fled to algeria. do we know how they were able to get there? it's not just women in the family. there are also two gadhafi sons mohamed and was it unis, i think his name is. >> reporter: yeah. >> hannibal, i'm sorry. >> reporter: mohamed and hannibal, and their children fled. i think most people believe gadhafi and his family were in the south and would have driven westward to the border with algeria. the crazy thing about the situation now, algeria is the only country that still recognizes gadhafi as a legitimate ruler here. they say they have taken the family in on humanitarian grounds. but already the national transition council here says we want them back. we want to put them on trial, unspecified charges so far. beyond that, they say if algeria doesn't hand them back, they will treat it as an act of aggression against the will of the libyan people. they're really drawing a line in the sand here. you get the impression that they don't want moammar gadhafi and anyone else going there. it's a messag

the national transitional council has told algeria, and algeria still sees moammar gadhafi as the leader here. the national transitional council have said that they want moammar gadhafi's family back, and if they don't get them back to put them on trial, they will say this by algeria as an act of aggressi aggression, they say, against the will of the people of libya, so the national transitional council taking this very, very seriously with their neighbor algeria here. they want gadhafi's family back, wolf. >> nic, you have a worldwide exclusive report that you broke here on cnn involving the convicted lockerbie bomber who was received as a hero when scotland and britain sent him back to -- to libya. tell us what you discovered, how you discovered it, because you've done some amazing reporting for us. >> reporter: wolf, this is one guy who might have some of the best kept secrets on who was actually responsible in the leadership here for authorizing the downing of pan am flight 103 back in 1988. we knew that. we knew that he might speak out after gadhafi had left the city so we went to t

i think they believe they're south of the country and drove west of the border to algeria. algeria is the only country around here that still recognizes gadhafi as a legitimate ruler here and they say they've taken the family in on humanitarian grounds, but already the national council here says we want them back, we want to put them on trial on unspecified charges so far, and if algeria doesn't send them back, they'll be in an act of regression against the libyan people. they've really drawn a line in the sand here. you get the impression they don't want muammar gadhafi getting found. >> the sons, we've seen the son who is khamis who has allegedly been killed, have a very active role in the militia, in the government. are these sort of the playboy sons? i know there were a bunch who used to give a lot of money to american entertainers to perform in st. bart's and clubs, were they just doing business and traveling around the world? were they kind of playboys? >> it would appear to be the case. i mean, hannibal himself has had a number of instances where there have been alle

they were describing his family and wife and kids and grandchildren into algeria. u.s. sources, though, says there has been no indication that moammar gadhafi has left libya but the fact of the matter nobody really knows for a fact where exactly he is. one thing that just came in a short while ago the afp is quoting the algerian news agency as saying that colonel gadhafi's daughter aisha gave birth today to a baby girl. she was very pregnant and one of the reasons they probably wanted to get out of libya and into algeria so she could give birth safely because no hospital would do that for them in libya. >> wow. story gets much more interesting. zain verjee out of london for us, thanks. >>> politics now. here at home, our latest poll shows that rick perry is rocking the republican white house race. paul steinhauser is in manchester, new hampshire, this morning with all of the numbers. paul. >> reporter: did you need more evidence that rick perry ace entrance into the race is shaking things up? check out this poll. at the top the long time texas governor 27% say they want

and there would also be a problem if he went, for example, into algeria. the algerian government would be obligated to hand him over. so actually how he would get to another country i think would now be quite interesting. there was, of course, all the stories that the south african government denies that they were party to having claims at tripoli airport to take him out. now, whether that's true or not, who knows? but it would appear that he probably wouldn't be able to get to the airport anyhow. >> we heard earlier that it will be up to the libyan people to decide gaddafi's fate when he is captured. there is a voice of the international community that would like to see him go to the hague to face war crimes. though he could stay in libya to face court there. >> that's absolutely true. i think there would be many that would like to see that on their own territory. there is a case there to say going to the hague might create less of a security issue, because as long as muammar gaddafi is around, then he can be a focus for any dissent, for any people who fe

in algeria, the conditions are relevant. on one hand, we have an aging leader who is going to disappear at some point and has no designated heir at all, let alone and accepted one. on the other hand, there is the question of the army. in algeria, you know the army will file -- will fire on its people. that's all it fires on. oft's a chilling aspect algeria and helps to explain why nothing has happened there. at other part that has to be added to that and the army notion has to be strengthened by the idea that in algeria, they had it 10 years of violence led by extremist islamic groups and army-led retaliations against them and other people who may be suspected of being sympathizers. so the public is tired of taking on the state. but the state is very clever in algeria. when protests arise, and there are protests, manifestations as we call them. not riots, but manifestations. the state always comes in and in that wonderful word that is so effective, it satisfies them. it buys off elements of the protestors and abate move on.

in the past, libyan rebels have accused algeria of backing gadhafi. they deny that, algeria is the only one of libya's north african neighborhood not recognizing the rebels' national council as libya's legitimate government. the state department is not commenting on what legal action should be taken against gadhafi's family. >> we want to see justice and accountability for gadhafi and those members of his family with blood on their hands and those members of his regime, but it will be a decision of the libyan people how that goes forward. >> as for the situation on the ground in tripoli, rebel leaders have started the process of relocated their organization from a benghazi to tripoli. the state department says phones and internet service are back up and running in the capital. >>> coming up, the united states killed al qaeda's number two in pakistan. now his successor has the worst job in the world. that's in tonight's rewrite. >>> and in the aftermath of hurricane irene, we remember those lost in hurricane katrina, which struck exactly six years ago

yesterday, her mother and two brothers fled to neighboring algeria. her father is still thought to be in libya still being hunted. she would not like to hear what's being said about her in her own home. the silk she says as she rifles through the wardrobe, look, look says the woman, and the people are starving. god willing, she will wear it in jail. in here you begin to get a sense of where libya's oil billions went. gold lame sheet, fir blankets, silk wallpaper. jewels, this in a country where professionals, doctors and engineers make $300 a month. meanwhile, she had her own spa, beauty parlor, huge entertainment space and that gilded and rather gaudy bench. yes, that is her head. in a city with 100-degree heat and no running water, nothing keeps the kids out of her huge pool. maybe how gadhafi had the women guarar. at one point they were said to 400 of them. they have disappeared. gadhafi always claimed they were all virgins but now five of them have surfaced to say that gadhafi and his sons repeatedly raped them. it is very hard to find anyone with

algeria has been engaged in sanction busting and allowing aid and fuel and mercenaries and a arms to come through. so we believe if he were -- if he has escaped, he would have gone to either of those two countries. he wouldn't have been able to fly out of libya, because there has been a no-fly zone for the past six months. >> we are talking about the situation with the transitional council moving to tripoli. when will that happen? >> i think we look to stabilize the situation in tripoli as soon as possible and hopefully within a few days the ntc will be based in tripoli, the capital, the process of stabilization of tripoli and getting on with the transition period will begin. >> what sort of government will this be? a lot of people are concerned about islamic influence among the rebels, possibly al qaeda-linked fighters fighting alongside you during this uprising what will this government look like as it takes shape? >> it will be a government of nationalists, mainly libyan nationalists. there will be technocrats, you know, experienced, qualified people who will be appointed to overs

there was a spokesman who came out and said that they were demanding that the algeria return the family members, but then the head of the council jalil came out and said, we are not demanding them back right now, but if we ask for them back, then they should return them and the algerian government should ensure they will not compromise their safety. it is gadhafi's wife and his two sons and his daughter aisha who actually gave birth on the trip into algeria. we visited her home here in tripoli and she was not there when the forces arrived. it was an incredibly lavish walled mansion and people in the neighborhood said they were angry that she was there, because it was a children's hospital that she knocked down to build her house. so there is a lot of resentment and not just moammar gadhafi, but his family in general. >> thank you, stephanie gosk, in tripoli. >>> and the members of the super committee are meeting for the first time behind closed door. >>> and plus, steve jobs' biological father says he regrets giving up his son for adoption more than 50 years ago, but he says he will not
