Interpol Issues Red Notice for Gadhafi

  • First Posted: Sep 09 2011 10:12 AM

Everyone on the planet urged to keep an eye out for the world's most recognizable dictator.

Moammar Gadhafi remains at large two weeks after the fall of Tripoli, so Interpol has issued a red notice for everyone on the planet to be on the lookout for a terribly dressed Lionel Richie lookalike. Also included in the red notice, which is Interpol's top alert level, are Gadhafi's son, Saif al-Islam, and his intelligence chief, Abdullah Senussi. The notice was coordinated with the International Criminal Court, which had previously issued warrants for the three men for crimes against humanity. Gadhafi loyalists have denied reports that their now-deposed leader had fled Libya for Niger in a military convoy seen crossing the border earlier this week, although a handful of leading loyalist generals were confirmed to have made that trek. In much happier news, a million people are expected to attend a prayer service marking the liberation of Libya (Libyaration?) this evening in Tripoli.
