out of tripoli before he gets captured. you can never tell with someone has slyly deranged as gadhafi is. he may very well decide that he has had enough in any case and he may as well go out in a blaze of glory. but somehow one thinks that he is either out or he will try to get out. it is really astonishing is that we spend a great deal of time with this guy on our heel for 40 years. with plenty of evidence that he was complicit in destroying the aircraft over lockerby and so on. then it wasn t until the rebels started to kick up their heels that we did things like freeze his assets. and i m trying to think of why we didn t do something for 40 years. it is really astonishing that we got so excited about this in the 11th hour when in fact we probably could have done something about him a long time

either in custody or out of tripoli. are you surprised that they would not have tried to make an escape in the days preceding? or it s it possible that they were just really taken by surprise and never thought this would happen? reporter: well, i think all of us were taken by surprise by just the rapidity by which the rebels were able to advance on tripoli. and they may have been surprised as well. i m sure they ll put a brave face on it and claim they re fighting until the last bullet as they have said they would do. but they may have been taken by surprise. can you, if you don t mind, while we re watching this situation develop, bring us all up to speed. i know that 42 years is a whole lot to cover. please take us through his regime. beginning in 1969, when he in a bloodless coup took over and then became an international pariah by embracing terrorism. reporter: that s right. moammar gadhafi pursued a

president is out of town when something like this is happening. something this important. but clearly he is surrounded by all of the information that he needs to have. is and will be making a statement, he said, when everything is confirmed. at this stage they have not confirmed what is going on. we can see the pictures, the live pictures that we re broadcasting. and hear the reports that richard engel had on nightly news. but the state department is trying to take all this information and get credible reports but they do not know for sure what has happened to gadhafi. they believe that he is still in tripoli. that was their last information. they have no evidence that he has actually left. i want to let everybody know, we are expecting a statement from the president. we re not exactly sure when. when that does happen, we ll jump right out of our conversation and go straight to him and we ll do that when it happens. let s to go kristen welker.
