COWARDLY Colonel Gaddafi went into hiding yesterday – after ordering his air force to bomb protesters.
The dictator emerged in the early hours of this morning to make a bizarre statement claiming still to be in Tripoli, saying not to believe “lying dogs” who said he had fled to Venezuala.

WITH his hated regime crumbling around him, spineless Colonel Gaddafi sneaked off yesterday – but not before one last order: “Send in the bombers.”
As thousands demonstrated in Tripoli, there were claims he had boarded a private jet and fled to Venezuela.
But before he vanished, the vengeful dictator made one last terrifying bid to cling on to his 41-year rule – and punish the protesters who had toppled him.
He ordered his air force to BOMB unarmed civilians – with warplanes and gunships swooping on crowds.
After losing control of huge swathes of the country, Gaddafi also unleashed an army of foreign mercenaries – paid up to £20,000 a head – to gun down protesters from 4x4 vehicles.
In the early hours of this morning he came out of hiding to make a bizarre statement, broadcast on state TV.
Clutching a large brolly, he clambered out of a battered truck and said: “I am in Tripoli and not Venezuela. So don’t believe these dogs and these television channels.”
Although the footage was said to be broadcast live from Gaddafi’s home in Tripoli, the location could not be confirmed as journalists have been banned. The bullet-ridden location looked like the set of a disaster film.
Human rights groups said up to 400 people have died since violence first erupted in Libya on Thursday.
With journalists expelled from the country it was left to horrified locals to describe the appalling attacks.
