Franco Frattini, Italy's foreign minister, said he had information that Col Gaddafi had been injured in a Nato strike. Mr Frattini said Giovanni Martinelli, the Roman Catholic bishop in Tripoli, said the Libyan leader had left Tripoli after being injured in an air strike. "I tend to give credence to the comment of the Bishop of Tripoli, Monsignor Martinelli, who has been in close contact over recent weeks, when he told us that Gaddafi is very probably outside Tripoli and is probably also wounded. We don't know where or how," Mr Frattini said.
