TUNIS, Aug.
19 (Xinhua) -- A Venezuelan plane has landed on the island of Djerba to
evacuate members of Libyan leader Muammar Gaddafi's family, Tunisian radio,
Mosaique FM, reported on Friday. The news was announced by the radio's
correspondent on the Tunisia- Libyan border.
The
correspondent, quoting a rebel source in Libya's eastern city of Benghazi, said
that Gaddafi's family members would soon leave Tunisia for the Venezuelan
capital Caracas, adding that "it was the beginning of the end of Gaddafi's
rule." It is not clear how they would be evacuated to Tunisia.
The source
also said that it was highly likely that Gaddafi himself is no longer in the
Libyan capital Tripoli, following overnight NATO strikes against his
residential compound.
