She is thought to have been captured amid eyewitness reports of a fierce gunfight at Col Gaddafi's central Tripoli compound as the regime stepped in to stop further defections.
Yesterday, local residents recalled how the most fierce firefight yet seen in central Tripoli had erupted within hours of the regime confirming that the Foreign Minister had defected.
"The blocks in that area are the homes to high ranking official of the state who must live close to Col Gaddafi. People say that some of them were trying to flee with their families when they came under attack from the guards," said a local resident.
"They gave as they got but there was a panic that the regime had to cover up."

Daffy’s women guards, damn, so they really know their jobs.
Never defect without your family if you care at all about them.
Kinda says it all, doesn’t it?
Got rid of Kaddafi and the wife in one shot ;)
Never defect without your family if you care at all about them

Course that is easier than a ‘messy’ divorce...especially when you figure the more he ‘attests his love for her’ the harder her situation will become.
One thing though - when you are a ‘high ranking regime official’ in some parts of the world - once the reigning authority is ‘moved out’ your existence becomes dicey at best.
No kidding.
Perhaps the former foreign minister is only interested in himself.
FM: Honey I am going our for a pack of cigarettes (in London). I’ll be back soon (I divorce thee I divorce thee I
divorce thee I divorce thee).
Next day.
As Libyan wiretappers listen in to phone conversation.
FM: Say honey I’m in London. I found the cigarette brand I was looking for be home in a few days. Say could you send my Gadafi cigarette case. Just go down to the Tripoli PO and mail it and o yes why don’t you ask our bodyguards for your passport.
A few minutes later offstage:
Sounds of gunfire
This whole defect of Musa is fishy.....there’s more to this then we are being informed of...might be Gaddafi allowed this to happen and keeping Musa’s wife until Musa’s accomplishes his purpose in being in Britain...which might be as mediator for Gaddafi and his circle to negotiate with Britain and France.
Whatever this isn’t about his defection IMO....it’s for some other purpose.
I guess he believes in honor killing but not honor defecting.
...and is being interrogated by his "internal security" officials... is thought to have been captured amid eyewitness reports of a fierce gunfight at Col Gaddafi's central Tripoli compound as the regime stepped in to stop further defections...
